Adiabatic circuit techniques have lately been a topic of interest in the low-power design community, but nobody has yet designed a complete computer using only adiabatic logic. We have (almost) completed the circuit design and layout of a simple fully-adiabatic processing element (PE) that nevertheless comprises a general-purpose parallel processor when tiled in large arrays. This PE implements...

investing in stock markets usually is involved in more risks than the bounds and bank deposits. it is expected that resulting returns (capital gain plus yields) from trading in a stock market to be more than those of in a risk free investment. therefore, developing accurate techniques of estimation and forecasting in volatility analysis of financial markets is inevitable. sum squares of weekly ...

Tackifying resins (TR) are often used to improve the adhesive properties of waterborne pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) derived from latex dispersions. There is a large gap in the understanding of how, and to what extent, the film formation mechanism of PSAs is altered by the addition of TR. Herein, magnetic resonance profiling experiments show that the addition of TR to an acrylic latex cre...

The complement system is a series of serum proteins that perform cell lytic and pro-inflammatory functions as part of the bodies mechanism for removing foreign, dead or damaged cells. The complement system consists of the alternative and classical pathways. During activation the anaphylatoxins C4a and C3a are released and these can be measured using competitive MAS. Abherrant activation of the ...

This study investigates the contraction of negatives in a carefully chosen corpus of discourse and writing, to permit comparison of the relative influences of various linguistic and social parameters on contraction. Evidence is presented that negative contraction is conditioned by interactional and other register variables. The point is made that the pragmatic as well as morphological interpret...
