The aim of this study was to determine the functional relevance of high pitch in Tashlhiyt Tamazight (Berber) echo questions and contrastive statements in both production and perception. Production data revealed that compared to statements: (a) questions have a higher pitch register, manifested as an overall higher pitch level and a wider pitch span, (b) questions are more often realized with a...

This paper discusses the interaction between tail call optimization and the placement of output values in functional and logic programming languages. Implementations of such languages typically rely on xed placement policies: most functional language implementations return output values in registers, while most logic programming systems return outputs via memory. Such xed placement policies inc...

BACKGROUND Since the condition was first described in 1965, the syndrome of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) has conventionally been managed by placement of a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt. OBJECTIVES To determine the effectiveness of shunting procedures in promoting stability or improvement in the neurological symptoms and signs of NPH. SEARCH STRATEGY The trials were identified from ...

This paper presents a thermal model used to visualize and analyze temperature evolution in the shared register files found on VLIW systems. The model allows the analysis of several factors that have strong impact on the heat transfer: layout topology, placement and access policy. The results obtained can further be used in the design of temperatureaware compilers and place&route tools.

In this paper, we present an optimized design flow to map Register-Transfer-Level (RTL) netlists onto multiple-FPGA architectures. Our FPGA-dedicated method fully exploits design structure by letting the basic design steps technology mapping, hierarchical partitioning, floorplanning and signal flow driven placement, interact. This efficiently reduces runtime and yields design implementations of...

We propose a net-based hierarchical macrocell placement such that “net placement” dictates the cell placement. The proposed approach has four phases. 1) Net clustering and net-level floorplanning phase: A weighted net dependency graph is built from the input register-transfer-level netlist. Clusters of nets are then formed by clique partitioning and a net-cluster level floorplan is obtained by ...

In deep submicron era, wire delay is no longer negligible and is becoming a dominant factor of the system performance. To cope with the increasing wire delay, several state-of-the-art architectural synthesis flows have been proposed for the distributed register architectures by enabling on-chip multicycle communication. In this article, we present a new performance-driven criticality-aware synt...

Quantitative data sites Novosibirsk and geoinformation database structure given. Conclusions importance carried out ecologi...

this paper investigates the use of ‘lexical bundles’ in two broad corpora of journalistic writing. the aim of this study is to compare the use of lexical bundles in the two domains, one consisted of newspaper articles written in english and published in england and the other one comprised of newspaper articles written in persian from iranian publications. for this purpose, the frequency of occu...

A method for optimizing clock mesh is proposed which diminishes the power in network significantly while considering timing slack. The proposed paper implements the methodology by introducing placement blockages during the IC design flow. Stub wire minimization is achieved by using register placement. Placement of blockages in order to further reduce the power dissipation along with optimized p...
