Reproduction in rare plants may be influenced and limited by a complex combination of factors. External threats such as invasive species and landscape characteristics such as isolation may impinge on both pollination and seed predation dynamics, which in turn can strongly affect reproduction. I assessed how patterns in floral visitation, seed predation, invasive ant presence, and plant isolatio...

A multiple-valued data transfer scheme using X-net is proposed to realize a compact bit-serial reconfigurable VLSI (BS-RVLSI). In the multiple-valued data transfer scheme using X-net, two binary data can be transferred from two adjacent cells to one common adjacent cell simultaneously at each “X” intersection. One cell composed of a logic block and a switch block is connected to four adjacent c...

2014 We study pattern recognition in linear Hopfield type networks of N neurons where each neuron is connected to the z subsequent neurons such that the state of the ith neuron at time t + 1 is determined by the states of neurons i + 1, ...,i + z at time t. We find that for small values of z/N the retrieval behavior differs considerably from the behavior of diluted Hopfield networks. The maximu...
