AbstractIn the present paper we derive an integral involving general class of polynomials whose integrand contains product of Ifunction and a general class of polynomiyals.The integral evaluated is quite general in nature and we can derive from them by a large number of integrals involving simpler functions as their particular cases.

AbstractIn cognitive radio network, through efficient spectrum utilization the secondary user (SU) capacity maximization is an important work, here we optimize the secondary user capacity through threshold in the dual threshold scheme of cooperative spectrum sensing by taking the primary user( PU ) on priority as well as SU on priority in AWGN and Rician channel with the evolutionary optimizati...

AbstractIn present day sub-micron technology, reduction of circuit complexity of on-chip VLSI interconnects is an important issue for the analysis and verification of integrated circuits. In this paper, we present an exact method to compute the analytic time-domain response for a RC circuit including coupling capacitors for ramp input excitation. Accuracy and efficiency of the method is shown f...

AbstractIn the present work we introduce an integrated approach for structured design of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) that enables step-by-step design, optimization, and flexibility in choosing the trade-offs. Founded on the knowledge accumulated by the WSN community, our approach merges the recent advances in optimization of the multitude of WSN dimensions in one complete design strategy. A...

* Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] AbstractIn this paper, we introduce hybrid differential evolution with a multiplier updating method to solve constrained optimization problems. An adaptive scheme for penalty parameters is involved in the proposed algorithm so that smaller penalty parameters can be used and does not affect the final search results. Computational examples ...

AbstractIn this paper, a low-voltage current mirror with neuron MOSFETs is proposed. The proposed circuit can decrease a variation of an output current of the current mirror by monitoring an error of the output current caused by the mismatch of MOSFETs. In addition, the proposed circuit can avoid a trade-off between an accuracy and an output swing. The proposed circuit is fabricated in phenitec...

AbstractIn this paper, the use of Simulated Evolution (SimE) Algorithm in the design of digital logic circuits is proposed. SimE algorithm consists of three steps: evaluation, selection and allocation. Two goodness measures are designed to guide the selection and allocation operations of SimE. Area, power and delay are considered in the optimization of circuits. Results obtained by SimE algorit...

ABSTRACTIn the absence of a universally agreed-upon definition of successful aging, researchers increasingly look to older adults for layperson views of aging and definitions of successful aging. To use lay definitions in studies of aging, however, researchers must address the definitions' consistency. In 2004, surviving members of the Manitoba Follow-up Study male cohort (mean age: 83 years) w...
