This paper analyzes the sources of jitter in a DLL and presents a behavioral model for fast DLL optimization. An algorithm to simulate the DLL in open loop is demonstrated. This procedure, together with the behavioral modeling, greatly reduces the simulation time of DLL when compared to the closeloop DLL simulation. In order to optimize the DLL performance, the dependence of the output jitter v...

Premised on two social-psychological perspectives, the costreward theory of helping and social exchange theory, our study made one of the first attempts to explore the processes involved in online knowledge sharing among academicians.
