In this paper, we analyze the effects of money on the market for durable goods both empirically and theoretically. Using monthly US data on personal expenditures on durable goods and the housing market, we estimate from a VAR the dynamic responses of the price and quantity of durable goods and housing to money supply shocks, assuming only that money is neutral in the long-run. We then estimate ...

From the 1950s onward, Brutalist style spread all over world and dedicate many breathtaking architectural movements to buildings. Architect’s opinion about this prominent approach building design varies greatly. has known primarily for its aesthetics property institutional buildings with use of functional reinforced concrete, steel, modular, repetitive elements. Besides advantages brutalism, is...

The field of the built environment is evolving, whereby involvement a multi-disciplinary team in project becomes necessary. Complexities issues keep challenging industry Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) address importance skills collaborative work to deliver great building design. A that not only aesthetic but also durable, sturdy, sustainable, has positive influences on surroun...

BACKGROUND Americans spend the vast majority of their lives in built environments. Even traditionally outdoor pursuits, such as exercising, are often now performed indoors. Bacteria that colonize these indoor ecosystems are primarily derived from the human microbiome. The modes of human interaction with indoor surfaces and the physical conditions associated with each surface type determine the ...

Power simulation of digital circuits in early stages of development is a very popular topic amongst circuit designers. This paper discusses available power estimation techniques at the logic level. We elaborate on the fact that this technique can also be used to investigate an implementation’s DPA resistance with modest effort. Our practical investigations are based on an 8051-compatible contro...

We present an approach that integrates protein structure analysis and text mining for protein functional site prediction, called LEAP-FS (Literature Enhanced Automated Prediction of Functional Sites). The structure analysis was carried out using Dynamics Perturbation Analysis (DPA), which predicts functional sites at control points where interactions greatly perturb protein vibrations. The text...

Future wireless embedded devices will be increasingly powerful supporting many more applications including one of the most crucial, security. Although many embedded devices offer more resistance to bus probing attacks due to their compact size, susceptibility to power or electromagnetic analysis attacks must be analyzed. This paper presents a new split mask countermeasure to thwart low order di...

Modern electronic devices expose themselves to danger from adversaries who try to extract secrete information. Security has become a major issue in the embedded system since several years. Even though the devices are protected by modern cryptographic algorithms, such as AES or RSA, the security is limited. Specially, hardware attack like differential power analysis (DPA) is very powerful method...

Doherty type Power Amplifier (DPA) design is one of the most practical efficiency enhancement methods that provide moderate linearity. Asymmetrical device usage and employment of bias adaptation are among the most commonly used Doherty architectures in recent applications. In this paper, the efficiency performances of bias adapted DPA and asymmetrical DPA are compared based on the efficiency ex...

This overview of durability in composite wood products will discuss the history and background of increasing the durability of wood composites. Some of the current challenges will be presented. Processing for durable composites will include post-manufacture treatments and in-process treatments. New composites and novel approaches and treatments for durability will be discussed.
