In order to generate efficient FPGA designs, the HDL description style has to be adapted to the requirements of FPGA architecture. Unlike ASIC targets, FPGAs offer a fixed set of resources which can be used to generate an efficient design. This requires that the HDL source code of a design be adapted to exploit the available resources. Since the structure of synthesized logic is inferred from t...

Recent literature has demonstrated the difficulty of classifying between composers who write in extremely similar styles (homogeneous style). Additionally, machine learning studies in this field have been exclusively of technical import with little musicological interpretability or significance. We present a supervised machine learning system which addresses the difficulty of differentiating be...

3D city modeling is a very demanding task. It suffers from the same problems as general bottom-up 3D acquisition processes. Whatever the 3D acquisition system, there are always objects and surfaces that yield meager performance. Often the problems are fundamental and cannot be resolved through more sophisticated bottom-up processing. If however, one knows what kind of objects are to be modeled ...

The Pricing of Bermudan Options on Defaultable Bonds In this paper, we modify the Nelson and Ramaswamy (1990)-Ho, Stapleton and Subrahmanyam (1995) diffusion approximation. The modification allows the approximation of correlated lognormal diffusion processes. The general method is illustrated by pricing a Bermudan-style put option on the minimum of two asset prices. We then apply the method to ...

This study determined the difference in oil content from separated parts of clove buds, full bud with crown, without crown and dust (stamen style), only along market sample. Results showed that highest a crown. Oil yield varied buds different geographical regions wherein, Madagascar amount oil.

In this paper, we address the problem of optimizing the style of textual content to make it more suitable to being listened to by a user as opposed to being read. We study the differences between the written style and the audio style by consulting the linguistics and journalism literatures. Guided by this study, we suggest a number of linguistic features to distinguish between the two styles. W...
