Here we show that the Event Driven Condition Free (EVCF) simulation technique for gate-level circuits can be extended to the multi-delay timing model. In the multi-delay timing model, gates have different integer delays. Events are produced out of order and must be sorted for processing. The EVCF technique has shown spectacular gains in performance for the zero-delay and unit-delay models. The ...

One of the oldest arguments in the history of psychology is the Nature vs Nurture debate. Each of these sides have good points that it's really hard to decide whether a person's development is predisposed in his DNA, or a majority of it is influenced by this life experiences and his environment. As of now, we know that both nature and nurture play important roles in human development, but we ha...

This paper attempts to provide an account of an ongoing project on developing methods with software implementation for building multilingual lexical databases based on Princeton WordNet. The objectives of this project are not unique; several similar projects have been carried out to different stages. We have been implementing a combination of manual and automatic techniques. The result is an ef...

This paper presents a method to detect and measure the hilar region of chest radiographs. The reason why there is no suggested method to detect hilar region is that the hilar region does not have a clear shape or specific texture. We use a very simple but very effective method to detect the location and size of the hilar region of chest radiographs.

This paper examines whether civic technology ICTs provide an effective method for enhancing the political efficacy of citizens and their perceived accountability of governments. Using a survey-based methodology, a quantitative analysis was conducted of the users of civic action sites in the UK, Kenya, South Africa and USA. The key question examined is whether the particularized or citizen-audit...

Statistical process control, a recognized technique for improving quality and productivity, has been widely employed throughout various industries. The conventional Shewhart control charts are applicable only when the collected sample data are real-valued data. For the purpose of controlling uncertain information when interval-valued data inevitably appear in the manufacturing or service proces...

This study examines the relationship between operation-level agility and firm performance in service industries. The study is augmented by investigating the role of IT resources and competence to achieve this specific type of agility. As of to date, most of the published literature in this stream of research has focused on manufacturing industry. This research is an early attempt to examine the...

The eikonal equations in spaces of different dimensions and different types have many applications in the geometric optics, acoustics of inhomogeneous media, theoretical physics, etc. The details on this theme can be found in [1–7] (see also the references therein). Sheng, Guha and Gonzalez (see [8,9] and the references therein) proposed new effective methods for solving many problems of comput...
