Subjects: Integrated circuits -- Design and construction

description: High performance novel dynamically allocated multi-queue (DAMQ) buffer schemes for
description: systems with network on chip (NoC) have been proposed and evaluated in this dissertation. An
description: analytical model to predict performance of a NoC where wormhole switching technique and
description: fully adaptive routing protocols has been developed and compared with simulations.
description: In this dissertation, a novel analytical model for NoC which makes use of simple close
description: form calculations is presented. This model provides accurate network performance prediction in
description: the network stable region. The validity of this model is demonstrated by comparing analytical
description: prediction with simulation results obtained on high-radix k-ary 2-cube networks.
description: Three novel switch buffer schemes, DAMQall, DAMQmin and DAMQshared, for system on
description: chip with an interconnection network are also reported. The proposed schemes are based on a
description: DAMQ self-compacting buffer hardware design. These schemes outperform existing approaches.
description: DAMQall have similar performance using only half of the buffer size used in traditional SAMQ
description: implementations. DAMQmin provides an excellent approach to optimize buffer management
description: providing a good throughput when the network has a larger load. DAMQshared scheme lets virtual
description: channels from different physical channel share free buffer space. While providing similar
description: performance, DAMQshared scheme uses only around sixty percent of the buffer size that is used in
description: traditional implementation for NoCs. In addition, using same size buffers, DAMQshared
description: outperforms existing approaches such as SAMQ and DAMQall by 1% to 2% in throughput. The
description: proposed schemes also make a better utilization of the available buffer space.

description: El presente documento presenta el análisis a la política curricular de la enseñanza de las ciencias económicas y políticas en la educación media en Colombia. Dicho análisis centra su interés en los horizontes y orientaciones normativas y políticas que se han construido en Colombia desde la promulgación de la Ley General de Educación en el año 1994; asimismo, tiene en cuenta las discusiones internacionales y territoriales en términos de currículo para el abordaje del área, denotando como problemática central la falta de precisiones delimitadas y claras dentro del Curriculum prescripto. La discusión expuesta se realiza desde la estructura de un policy paper, enmarcado en un enfoque cualitativo de investigación para poder presentar una recomendación estratégica que podría considerarse dentro de los procesos de diseño curricular a la hora de la planificación del área por parte de los docentes. De igual manera, propone una serie de recomendaciones a los entes encargados de diseñar y planificar la política curricular en el país, las cuales buscan garantizar los desempeños y competencias mínimas que debe alcanzar un educando con el aprendizaje de las ciencias económicas y políticas

Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2007
Subjects: School superintendents -- Washington (State)

description: The purpose of the study was to determine whether or not there are noteworthy differences in role expectations and perceptions between superintendents and board chairs. The study used the previously-developed Situational Expectation Record (SER) which asks both superintendents and their board chairs 1) what should be done by the superintendent in a given scenario and 2) what they believe would actually be done in that given scenario. The SER consists of 25 scenarios, divided into five leadership strands: Finance, Personnel, Public Relations, School Programs and Superintendent/Board Relations. The scenarios consisted of situations that might occur in a school district and were followed by four possible responses. Respondents were also given the opportunity to provide free-form comments. Responses were classified in terms of who was taking action in the given scenario, i.e., as either "superintendent" or "board/other". Comparisons were then made in each leadership strand, using both district characteristics (district size and location) and individual characteristics (tenure, experience and gender) to assess whether or not there were differences in how respondents believed each scenario should be addressed. Analysis of this data revealed several interesting trends. Rarely did perceptions of what should be done differ appreciably from would be done in a given situation. It was also evident that the finance strand was most fraught with differences, and personnel the least. Additionally, it was found that while district size often had a major impact on responses, any difference in east-side/west-side responses was usually a function of district size, rather than an east/west divide. Both tenure and experience were useful in analyzing differing responses; men and women superintendents did not differ notably in their responses. Female superintendents and female board chairs showed some tendency to view the expected response in a given scenario differently

description: We introduce a new quantity, that we term recoverable information, defined for stabilizer Hamiltonians. For such models, the recoverable information provides a measure of the topological information, as well as a physical interpretation, which is complementary to topological entanglement entropy. We discuss three different ways to calculate the recoverable information, and prove their equivalence. To demonstrate its utility, we compute recoverable information for fracton models using all three methods where appropriate. From the recoverable information, we deduce the existence of emergent $Z_2$ Gauss-law type constraints, which in turn imply emergent $Z_2$ conservation laws for point-like quasiparticle excitations of an underlying topologically ordered phase.
description: Added additional cluster model calculation (SPT example) and a new section discussing the general benefits of recoverable information

En guise d’introduction, nous ferons une courte présentation des différents genres du fantastique afin de comprendre l’imbrication de ces genres dans les littératures francophones du Canada au pluriel. Ensuite, nous retracerons l’évolution du fantastique francophone jusqu’à aujourd’hui en abordant en parallèle certains aspects du fantastique à travers les époques et quelques thématiques récurrentes. Enfin, nous présenterons quelques oeuvres marquantes et illustratives (telles que celles de : Yann Martel, Hédi Bouraoui, etc) et les tendances de ces littératures fantastiques au Canada. In this article we will present the contemporary francophone fantastic in Canada and its relation to the past tradition. To start with, we will make a short overview of the different genres of the fantastic in order to understand the concrete realizations of those genres in the francophone literatures of Canada (in plural). Second, we will summarize the evolution of the francophone fantastic until nowadays by studying at the same time some aspects of the fantastic through different times and some common themes. Finally, we will deal with some essential works (such as those written by Yann Martel, Hédi Bouraoui, etc.) and the tendencies of those fantastic literatures in Canada.

description: The Joint Integrated Avionics Working Group (JIAWG) Reuse Subcommittee has initiatives in several areas to demonstrate that reuse can effectively support the JIAWG programs, and the creation of reusable assets is an essential element of reuse. Domain analysis is the process that identifies what is reusable, how it can be structured, and how it can be used. This report describes a method for domain analysis that is based on Coad and Yourdon's "Object Oriented Analysis." This method, the JIAWG Object-Oriented Domain Analysis (JODA), includes several enhancements to the method of Coad and Yourdon and produces a domain model to support asset creation and reuse.

description: The brain-computer interface (BCI) field has grown dramatically over the past few years, but there are still no coordinated efforts to ensure efficient communication and collaboration among key stakeholders. The European Commission (EC) has recently renewed their efforts to establish such a coordination effort by funding a coordination and support action for the BCI community called ‘BNCI Horizon 2020’ after the ‘Future BNCI’ project. Major goals of this new project include developing a roadmap for the next decade and beyond, encouraging discussion and collaboration within the BCI community, fostering communication with the general public, and the foundation of an international BCI Society. We present a short overview of current and past EU-funded BCI projects and provide evidence of a growing research and industrial community. Efficient communication also entails the establishment of clear terminology, which is a major goal of BNCI Horizon 2020. To this end, we give a brief overview of current BCI-related terms and definitions. A major networking activity in the project was the BNCI Horizon 2020 Retreat in Hallstatt, Austria. Over 60 experts participated in this event to discuss the future of the BCI field in a series of plenary talks, targeted discussions, and parallel focus sessions. A follow-up event was the EU BCI Day at the 6th International Brain-Computer Interface Conference in Graz, Austria. This networking event included plenary talks by eight companies and representatives from all seven ongoing EU research projects, poster presentations, demos, and discussions. Another goal of BNCI Horizon 2020 is the foundation of an official BCI Society. In this article, we summarize the current status of this process. Finally, we present visions for future BCI applications developed within BNCI Horizon 2020 using input from external BCI experts as well. We identify common themes and conclude with six exemplary use cases.

Strategies for Managing Government Microblogs:A Critical Study of 29 Provincial Weibos in China
Creators: name: Hou, Runtian
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2016

description: It is becoming widely believed that social network is posing an insurmountable threat to authoritarian rule, as the role tweeter played in the Arab Spring. However, Chinese government is benefiting from the proper use of Weibo (the Chinese name for microblog) instead of just regarding it as a danger. Chinese government is using Weibo to build a more responsive government and meanwhile avoiding the potential for collective movement. Although numerous scholars have studied astroturfing1 and censorship in weibo, there’s no systematic study of how both activities work in the government weibo. In this critical study, we found provincial governments use weibos for responding to the demand from various social actors and applying different strategies to manage comments in weibo. Furthermore, we found there’s a regional difference in the above strategies. Key words: weibo, astroturfing, censorship, tolerance, authoritarian resilience, responsive government

description: We analyze optimal schemes and also propose some practical schemes for the nonlocal conversion from two shared Bell pairs to four-qubit entangled states in optical quantum networks. In the analysis, we consider two-qubit operations as nonlocal operations and minimize the number of access to ancillary qubits as possible. First, we consider two-qubit unitary operations without using ancillary qubits and derive a necessary and sufficient condition for convertible states. Second, we consider nonlocal optical systems composed of passive linear optics and postselection. For the passive linear optical systems, we derive achievable upper bounds of success probabilities of the conversion in the case without ancillary qubits. We also compare the optimal success probabilities with those of previously proposed schemes. Finally, we discuss success probabilities of the conversion in the case with ancillary qubits.

description: Exendin-4 (Ex4) is a promising drug for diabetes mellitus with a half-life of 2.4 h in human bodies. Besides, the Ex4 formulations currently employed in the clinic or under development have problems pertaining to stability. In this study, palmitic acid-modified Ex4 (Pal-Ex4) was prepared and purified to extend the half-life of Ex4. In addition, Pal-Ex4-MVLs were further designed and optimized as a long-acting delivery system for intramuscular injection. Pal-Ex4 was encapsulated within multivesicular liposomes (MVLs) via a two-step double emulsification process. The formulated products were then assessed for their vesicle size, encapsulation efficiency, and in vitro and in vivo. Pal-Ex4-MVLs with a notable encapsulation efficiency of 99.18% were successfully prepared. Pal-Ex4-MVLs, administered via a single intramuscular injection in Sprague-Dawley rats, sustained stable plasma concentrations for 168 h, presenting extended half-life (77.28 ± 12.919 h) and enhanced relative bioavailability (664.18%). MVLs protected Ex4 through providing stable retention and slow release. This approach considerably improved the in-situ stability of the drug for intramuscular administration. The combination of palmitic acid modification process with MVLs provides dual protection for Ex4 and can be a promising strategy for other hydrophilic protein/polypeptide-loaded sustained-release delivery systems with high drug bioactivity.

description: Despite the theoretical and strategic importance of Interfirm Relationship (IR) and technology in today's highly competitive marketplace, relational consequences of technology use in interfirm interactions remain unclear and inconclusive. Drawing on Giddens' (1984) Theory of Structuration, this dissertation proposes a structurational view of IRs and constructs a conceptual framework that emphasizes the role of IR agents in technology use and interfirm interactions. This dissertation views technology through a practice lens and examines the role of IR agents by studying IR agents' Sense-making and Technology Enactment. This research adopted a key-informant survey design in the context of industrial service providers. The results show that IR agents' Sense-making is positively related to Relationship Quality and plays a critical role in mediating effects of everyday IR interactions on Relationship Quality. Similarly IR agents' Technology Enactment of Relationship Management not only positively contributes to Relationship Quality but also mediates the relationship of IT Embeddedness and Relationship Quality. Additionally cognitive Sense-making seems to mitigate the effect of Technology Enactment on Relationship Quality. In general, research results are consistent with extant research but highlight the efficacy of human agency in technology use and IR formation and management.

Under natural assumptions on the Cauchy boundary data, we show that the pluripotential solution is semi-concave in time and continuous in space and that such a solution is unique. We also establish a partial regularity of such solutions under some extra assumptions of the densities and apply it to prove the existence and uniqueness of the weak Chern-Ricci flow on complex compact varieties with log terminal singularities.

description: Recognizing the need to succeed in a new multilateral, asymmetric threat environment, the U. S. Department of Defense has initiated a radical transformation in operations to promote agility and enhance responsiveness. The transformation process, as well as the resulting new order of operations, relies heavily on system-of-systems solutions to bridge existing gaps in operations. To date, a pervasive, and possibly detrimental, assumption has dominated the program management arena: management tools and methods that work for single systems apply equally well to the acquisition of system-of-systems solutions. This technical note questions the general assumption that single-system methods are effective in a system-of-systems arena. Taking the position that the field, as a whole, lacks an adequate understanding of the unique challenges that influence system-of-systems initiatives, this report presents a case for the investigation and adaptation of structural and dynamic modeling techniques to the engineering of systems of systems. The report also includes results from a survey of subject matter experts providing evidence that resource expenditures in areas important to a system-of-systems environment are becoming high priorities.

Marketing to children

description: Exposure to unhealthy food and beverage marketing is an important environmental determinant of dietary intake. The current study examined self-reported exposure to marketing of unhealthy foods and beverages across various media channels and settings among parents of children younger than 18 years in five high and upper-middle income countries. Data from 4827 parents living with their children were analyzed from the International Food Policy Study (2017), a web-based survey of adults aged 18-64 years from Canada, the United States (US), the United Kingdom (UK), Australia, and Mexico. Respondents reported their exposure to marketing of fast food and of sugary drinks across media channels/settings overall and how often they see fast food and sugary drink marketing while viewing media with their children. Regression models examined differences across countries and correlates of marketing exposure. Parents in Mexico and the US reported greater exposure to marketing for fast food and sugary drinks compared to parents in Australia, Canada, and the UK. Patterns of exposure among parents were generally consistent across countries, with TV, digital media, and radio being the most commonly reported media channels for both fast food and sugary drinks. Exposure to marketing of fast food and sugary drinks was associated with a variety of sociodemographic factors, most strongly with ethnicity and education, and sociodemographic trends differed somewhat between countries. The findings demonstrate differences in self-reported parental exposure to marketing of fast food and sugary drinks between countries, and may help to evaluate the impact of marketing restrictions implemented over time.

description: Este trabajo de tipo descriptivo con perspectiva reflexiva caracteriza las trasformaciones poblacionales del departamento de Caldas y sus 27 municipios en el periodo intercensal 2005-2018. Se identifica la dinámica demográfica y su representatividad en la formulación de los planes de desarrollo municipales y departamental de la vigencia 2020-2023, buscando determinar la importancia que las administraciones territoriales otorgan a la comprensión de las características demográficas de los entes territoriales, y la incidencia de estas dinámicas en la planificación territorial. Se plantea la importancia de incorporar aspectos demográficos en los planes de desarrollo a nivel regional, departamental y municipal, en la perspectiva de caracterizar a la población que demanda los bienes y servicios de la gestión pública, enalteciendo el papel de la población con atributos propios en la planeación, por lo que se destaca la necesidad de considerar características demográficas, como el envejecimiento acelerado, la urbanización y los cambios en la estructura por edades.
description: This is a descriptive work which contains a reflective perspective on the importance that territorial administration gives to the understanding of the demographic characteristics within their own territorial entities. It describes the transformation of the population in the Caldas department and it´s 27 municipalities during the intercensal period 2005-2018. This work identifies the demographic dynamics and its representativeness in the formulation of municipal and departmental development plans for the period of 2020-2023. Seeking to determine the importance that territorial administrations taking into consideration the understanding of the demographic characteristics of these territorial entities, and the impact of these dynamics in territorial planning. The importance of incorporating demographic aspects in development plans at regional, departmental and municipal levels is raised, focusing on the perspective of characterizing the population ´s demands and needs of goods and services pertaining public management. This analysis highlights the role of the population´s own attributes in planning, thus promoting the need to consider demographic characteristics, such as accelerated aging, urbanization and changes in the age structure.

description: This paper presents how thermal mean field effects are incorporated consistently in the hydrodynamical modelling of heavy-ion collisions. The nonequilibrium correction to the distribution function resulting from a temperature-dependent mass is obtained in a procedure which automatically satisfies the Landau matching condition and is thermodynamically consistent. The physics of the bulk viscosity is studied here for Boltzmann and Bose-Einstein gases within the Chapman-Enskog and 14-moment approaches in the relaxation time approximation. Constant and temperature-dependent masses are considered in turn. It is shown that, in the small mass limit, both methods lead to the same value of the ratio of the bulk viscosity over its relaxation time. The inclusion of a temperature-dependent mass leads to the emergence of the $β_λ$-function in that ratio, and it is of the expected parametric form for the Boltzmann gas, while for the Bose-Einstein case it is affected by the infrared cut-off. This suggests that the relaxation time approximation may be too crude to obtain a reliable form of $ζ/τ_R$ for gases obeying Bose-Einstein statistics.

description: La cláusula de no discriminación goza de diferentes alcances, siendo uno de ellos garantizar que los pagos efectuados a residentes fiscales extranjeros -específicamente, de Estados con los cuales se tenga suscrito un CDI- sean deducibles bajo las mismas condiciones que serían aplicables si tales pagos se hubiesen realizado a residentes fiscales nacionales. A partir de tal premisa, se propone examinar el alcance efectivo que la cláusula de no discriminación tiene en los diferentes CDI suscritos por Colombia a enero 1° de 2021, así como determinar -con base en ésta- las condiciones que, estando incorporadas en la normativa tributaria vigente para la deducción de pagos al exterior, resultan discriminatorias.
description: The non-discrimination clause has different scopes, one of which is to guarantee that payments made to foreign tax residents -specifically, from States with which a DTC is signed- are deductible under the same conditions that would be applicable if such payments had been made to national tax residents. Based on this premise, it is proposed to examine the effective scope that the non-discrimination clause has in the different DTCs signed by Colombia as of January 1, 2021, as well as to determine -based on it- the conditions that, being incorporated in the current tax regulations for the deduction of payments abroad, are discriminatory.

description: Recently, government and news media publications have noted that a large-scale military cyberattack against the United States will be crippling primarily because of the existing personnel shortages and expertise gaps in the cybersecurity workforce. One critical job role within cyber defense teams is the malicious-code reverse engineer who deconstructs malicious code to understand, at the binary level, how the malware behaves on a network. Given the severe staffing shortages of these engineers, efforts to identify individual traits and characteristics that predict the development of expertise is important. Currently, job analysis research on teams of malicious-code reverse engineers is lacking. Therefore, a job analysis was conducted to identify individual factors (e.g., cognitive abilities, knowledge, and skills) and team factors (e.g., team leadership, decision making) that enable, encumber, or halt the development of malicious-code reverse engineering expertise. A 10-member malicious-code reverse engineering team was interviewed using a contextual inquiry/semi-structured interview hybrid technique to collect job analysis information. Performance factors were inferred based on the raw interview data. The results indicate that expert performance requires other non-domain-specific knowledge and skills (e.g., performance monitoring, oral and written communication skills, teamwork skills) that enable successful performance. Expert performance may be enabled by personality factors (i.e., conscientiousness) and cognitive abilities (i.e., working memory capacity). Attributes of successful novices were also collected. Subsequent research will empirically validate that these factors predict the development of expertise. Training and operations implications for this research are also detailed.

description: A construction method for duplex cage structures with icosahedral sym- metry made out of single-stranded DNA molecules is presented and applied to an icosidodecahedral cage. It is shown via a mixture of analytic and computer techniques that there exist realisations of this graph in terms of two circular DNA molecules. These blueprints for the organisation of a cage structure with a noncrystallographic symmetry may assist in the design of containers made from DNA for applications in nanotechnology.
