In this paper, we present a methodology to explore and evaluate the crosstalk noise and the profile of its variations, and the delay of interconnects through investigation of two groups of interconnect structures in nano scale VLSI circuits. The interconnect structures in the first group are considered to be partially coupled identical lines. In this case, by choosing proper values for differen...

Spatial and temporal Measure Phrases (MPs) such as ten meters, five years etc. appear with various linguistic items, including locative prepositions, scalar dimensional adjectives and comparatives, and show certain systematic contrasts in these domains. Some examples are given below. (1) a. Prepositions: ten meters behind/outside/*near/*on the house b. Adjectives: ten meters wide/*narrow/deep/*...

Dealing with prepositions such as “near”, “between”, and “in front of” is very important in Geographic Information Systems (GISs). In most systems, real world distances are used to handle these prepositions. One of the difficulties in processing these prepositions lies in the fact that their geographical range are distorted in people’s cognitive maps. For example, size of an area referred by pr...

There different opinions of Qur’ānic exaggerators, commentators and rest scholars towards these prepositions when comes along non-dedicated language.

We present a means of generating and understanding relative spatial positions in a natural three-dimensional scene, in terms of six spatial prepositions, left, right, in-front, behind, above, and below, using real stereo images. Our model has two layers. First, a symbolic spatial description of the scene independent of reference frames is computed. Then, in the second layer, the meaning of each...
