Back to the Sources. Manfredo Tafuri’s Teorie e storia dell’architettura (1968) between Project and Work in Progress
Creators: name: Capponi, Marco
Publisher: name: Histories of Postwar Architecture
Year: 2021

description: A rigorous study of Manfredo Tafuri (1935-1994) must inevita-bly find compensatory strategies to overcome the main difficulty posed by the object of study: that of the sources. A challenge, we might say, made even more difficult by the fact that Tafuri, with rare exceptions, never included bibliographies in his books.This contribution intends to present the first results of a philolog-ical analysis on one of the most important books in the historian’s œuvre and the debate of the time, Teorie e storia dell’architet-tura (1968), closely compared with its second Italian edition (1970). This first step and the significant discovery of the letters exchanged in 1967-69 between Tafuri and the publishing house let to detect the extent to which Tafuri originally modified the book’s project and intervened in its re-editions. This leads to the conclu-sion that he refashioned himself and politicised his work retroac-tively, probably to approach the new Venetian intellectual context.Moreover, the systematic filing of 1968 book’s bibliography, together with the critical bibliographies and recordings from his mid-1960s lectures, allow to give due weight to references hitherto unknown. They help us to enter into the historiographic framework in which the main problem – the relationship with history – is to be situated, and to identify a number of knots on which Tafuri will focus in the following years.The analysis situates Teorie e storia in 1960s artistic and archi-tectural discourse and brings to light, in particular, the underlying conversation with Emilio Garroni’book La crisi semantica delle arti (1964), a source that fits precisely a generational urgency, that of architecture and its meaning, to which Tafuri will constantly return.The reading is intertwined with a parallel narration through the illustrations replaced by Tafuri for the second edition of Teorie e storia.

description: Crossrail Archaeology Series, 7
description: This report desribes the archaeological investigations at Charterhouse Square which was known to be the site of the West Smithfield cemetery, one of two London emergency burial grounds established during the Black Death (1348-9); the 25 individuals excavated are the first large group of burials recovered. The plague pathogen was identified in skeletons from each of three phases of burial, indicating that these were the victims of multiple plague outbreaks from the Black Death into the 15th century. Also located as it flowed west into the Fleet was the Faggeswell brook - the southern boundary of the plague cemetery and of the monastic precinct of the London Charterhouse, founded in 1371. This massive ditch had been filled in the mid 17th century with rubbish and waste from the livestock market and nearby households, some evidently wealthy.
From Brunel to British Rail. The railway heritage of the Crossrail route.

description: Crossrail Archaeology Series, 4
description: This report explores the many historic railways encountered during the construction of Crossrail. Railways are more dynamic than people may suppose; over time stations are reconfigured, bridges replaced, tracks re-aligned. Sometimes, whole lines or tracts of land, particularly those associated with London's freight operations, fall into disuse. The designers of Crossrail, London's latest railway, actively sought these out for adaptation. At many of these places historic buildings were adapted or removed to accommodate the new railway; elsewhere the building of Crossrail has unearthed the archaeological remains of some of London's earliest railways. Buildings have much to tell us about the lives and livelihoods of others, and Crossrail ensured that any building or site of archaeological significance affected by the works was surveyed by their team of archaeologists. This book presents the results of those surveys in the form of a collection of essays, largely based on the chronology of railway development in the capital. Collected together, the chapters provide new aspects to the history of railways in London; details of the buildings and structures affected, from engine sheds to turntables, are provided in a gazetteer

description: We present three dimensional spectroscopy of eleven E+A galaxies, selected for their strong H-delta absorption but weak (or non-existent) [OII]3727 and H-alpha emission. This selection suggests that a recent burst of star-formation was triggered but subsequently abruptly ended. We probe the spatial and spectral properties of both the young (~1Gyr) and old (few Gyr) stellar populations. Using the H-delta equivalent widths we estimate that the burst masses must have been at least 10% by mass (Mburst~10^10Mo), which is also consistent with the star-formation history inferred from the broad-band SEDs. On average the A-stars cover ~33% of the galaxy image, extending over 2-15kpc^2, indicating that the characteristic E+A signature is a property of the galaxy as a whole and not due to a heterogeneous mixture of populations. In approximately half of the sample, we find that the A-stars, nebular emission, and continuum emission are not co-located, suggesting that the newest stars are forming in a different place than those that formed ~1Gyr ago, and that recent star-formation has occurred in regions distinct from the oldest stellar populations. At least ten of the galaxies (91%) have dynamics that class them as "fast rotators" with magnitudes and dynamics comparable to local ellipticals and S0's. We also find a correlation between the spatial extent of the A-stars and dynamics such that the fastest rotators tend to have the most compact A-star populations, providing new constraints on models that aim to explain the transformation of later type galaxies into early types. Finally, we show that there are no obvious differences between the line extents and kinematics of E+A galaxies detected in the radio (AGN) compared to non-radio sources, suggesting that AGN feedback does not play a dramatic role in defining their properties, or that its effects are short.

description: NON-VON is a very high performance experimental supercomputer, portions of which are now being implemented at Columbia University. If efforts are successful, it should be possible to construct NON-VON machines of various sizes that could ultimately support the extremely rapid execution of a wide range of information processing tasks relevant to the defense community in a highly cost-effective manner. This study briefly sketches the most important aspects of NON-VON architecture, identifies current architectural objectives, and describes the phased hardware implementation plan which has been adopted for the next three years.
The self between two worlds : cultural authenticity in Melina Marchetta’s Looking for Alibrandi and Saving Francesca
Creators: name: Tassiopoulos, Vasiliki
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis examines cultural authenticity as it relates to the teen protagonists in two young adult novels, Looking for Alibrandi and Saving Francesca, by Melina Marchetta. Cultural authenticity will be assessed and applied to the analysis of the novels with the consideration that cultural authenticity is achieved in fictional works for young readers when characters’ identities display a sense of cultural hybridity. The analysis of cultural authenticity is informed by theorists in cultural studies and studies in teacher education, which outline the negotiation of a cultural hybrid identity and a multicultural identity in multicultural postcolonial nations.

Outside Roman London: roadside burials by the Walbrook stream

description: Crossrail Archaeology Series, 9
description: This book describes the archaeological evidence from excavations at Crossrail's Broadgate ticket hall at Liverpool Street, from the Late Iron Age to the late Roman and early medieval marsh formation. The site lay 120m north of the town defences in a landscape dominated by a former tributary of the Walbrook stream, which ran along the west edge of the site. The earliest Roman activity focused on draining the site sufficiently to allow burial and road building in the area. Extensive remains of an early 2nd- to 3rd-century AD west�east metalled road with two main phases were traced across the site, along with a series of roadside ditches. The road ran west from Ermine Street, and evidence for horse transport and pasture suggests that it may have led to the fort in the north-west corner of Londinium. To the south of the road, seven 2nd-century AD inhumations, including three decapitations, and one cremation burial formed part of a cemetery in this waterlogged area. The large assemblage of accompanying disarticulated human bone, like earlier such finds, remains one of the most intriguing aspects of the Walbrook valley.

description: It has recently been pointed out that a substantial amount of e-folds can occur during the waterfall regime of hybrid inflation. Moreover, Kodama et.al. have derived analytic approximations for the trajectories of the inflaton and of the waterfall fields. Based on these, we derive here the consequences for F- and D-term SUSY hybrid inflation: A substantial amount of e-folds may occur in the waterfall regime, provided kappa << M^2/M_P^2, where kappa is the superpotential coupling, M the scale of symmetry breaking and M_P the reduced Planck mass. When this condition is amply fulfilled, a number of e-folds much larger than N_e\approx60 can occur in the waterfall regime and the scalar spectral index is then given by the expression found by Kodama et.al. n_s=1-4/N_e. This value may be increased up to unity, if only about N_e e-folds occur during the waterfall regime, such that the largest observable scale leaves the horizon close to the critical point of hybrid inflation, what can be achieved for kappa\approx10^(-13) and M\approx5x10^(12) GeV in F-term inflation. Imposing the normalization of the power spectrum leads to a lower bound on the scale of symmetry breaking.

description: The Geometrical Adhesion Model (GAM) we described in previous papers provides a fully solved model for the nonlinear evolution of fields that mimic the cosmological evolution of pressureless fluids. In this context we explore the expected late time properties of the cosmic propagators once halos have formed, in a regime beyond the domain of application of perturbation theories. Whereas propagators in Eulerian coordinates are closely related to the velocity field we show here that propagators defined in Lagrangian coordinates are intimately related to the halo mass function. Exact results can be obtained in the 1D case. In higher dimensions, the computations are more intricate because of to the dependence of the propagators on the detailed shape of the underlying Lagrangian-space tessellations, that is, on the geometry of the regions that eventually collapse to form halos. We illustrate these results for both the 1D and the 2D dynamics. In particular we give here the expected asymptotic behaviors obtained for power-law initial power spectra. These analytical results are compared with the results obtained with dedicated numerical simulations.

Stepney Green: moated manor house to City Farm

Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service
Year: 2023

description: Crossrail Archaeology Series, 1
description: This report presents the archaeological investigations of the remains of a late medieval and tudor moated mansion, known from the 17th century as Worcester House, which were located on Crossrail's Stepney Green worksite in London's east end. Its rich merchant and aristocratic owners had a fine country residence with easy access to the city and to the river Thames and so to overseas trade. In the early 17th century it was among properties owned by the 1st Marquis of Worcester, a supporter of Charles I, which were confiscated by Cromwell's parliament. By the late 17th century the estate had passed into the hands of radical nonconformists associated with the Stepney Meeting and a meeting house was built there. Worcester House was converted to a Baptist college in the early 19th century and a Congregationalist church constructed in 1841 replaced the earlier meeting house. Other parts of the estate were developed as small factories and new housing for 19th-century dock workers in an area which later suffered severe bomb damage in World War II. Vivid accounts by local people of life before, during and after the war, up to the founding of what is now Stepney City Farm, bring this vibrant piece of east end history up to date.

description: Collaborative security is a promising solution to many types of security problems. Organizations and individuals often have a limited amount of resources to detect and respond to the threat of automated attacks. Enabling them to take advantage of the resources of their peers by sharing information related to such threats is a major step towards automating defense systems. In particular, comment spam posted on blogs as a way for attackers to do Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a major annoyance. Many measures have been proposed to thwart such spam, but all such measures are currently enacted and operate within one administrative domain. We propose and implement a system for cross-domain information sharing to improve the quality and speed of defense against such spam.

description: This report discusses how much of Crossrail, London's latest railway, lies hidden beneath its streets. It is visible only where new stations have appeared and tunnel entrances formed. At many of these places existing buildings have had to be adapted or removed to accommodate the new railway. Buildings have much to tell us about the lives and livelihoods of others, and Crossrail ensured that any building affected by the works was surveyed by their team of archaeologists before any work began. This book considers what the buildings and structures examined in this way have told us about the changing face of London. Each chapter takes as its theme buildings that shared common functions or characteristics, such as the offices that lay in the way of the capital's new stations or the former industrial buildings that clustered around the railway's new tunnel portals. The background to each theme is set out before specific buildings are described and interpreted. Details of the buildings and structures, from pubs to power stations, appear in the gazetteer at the rear of the book.
Subordinates’ Use of Upward Influence Tactics as a Predictor of Abusive Supervision: A Victim Precipitation Perspective

description: Victim precipitation theory postulates that to fully understand why abusive supervision occurs, it is imperative to consider how subordinates can participate in the sequence of events that lead to their becoming targets of supervisors’ aggressive actions. Yet, only a handful of studies have explored whether subordinates’ own behaviours might evoke this type of response. To this end, this dissertation explored if, and under what conditions, subordinates’ behaviours elicited abusive responses from their supervisors. Drawing on the taxonomy of upward influence tactics, I tested the role of assertiveness and ingratiation as two behavioural predictors of abuse across two independent studies. In Study 1, I collected self-report data from a sample of full-time supervisors using Amazon’s Mechanical Turk platform (N = 204). Relying solely on their subjective interpretations, supervisors who perceived their subordinates to be assertive reported being more abusive because this behaviour threatened their role in the organization. On the other hand, supervisors who believed their subordinates ingratiated towards them were less likely to be abusive because they viewed these individuals as less threatening. Because abusive supervision is frequently observed from the subordinates’ perspective, and because there is evidence to suggest that abuse should be examined from a relational perspective, Study 2 collected responses from supervisor-subordinate dyads (N = 146). In this study, subordinates’ self-ratings of assertiveness were the only behaviour that was directly related to abusive supervision. Moreover, across both studies, there was no evidence to support the assertion that supervisor perceptions of power in the organization, or their social dominance orientation moderated the indirect relationship between assertiveness and abusive supervision through perceived threat. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.
The New Churchyard: from Moorfields Marsh to Bethlem burial ground, Brokers Row and Liverpool Street

description: Crossrail Archaeology Series, 10
description: This report describes the archaeological investigations by Crossrail at Liverpool Street. Modern Liverpool Street was once on the margins of London: the story of its development - from the medieval marsh of Moorfields to municipal, non-parochial, burial ground and later suburb � is illustrated. Excavation also recovered a wealth of well-preserved artefactual evidence for the local inhabitants, from the 16th century to the 19th-century households of Brokers Row. The New Churchyard, or 'Bethlem' as it was later known, was established after the severe plague of 1563 and was in use from 1569 to 1739; archaeological evidence suggests c 25,000 people in total were buried here. Contemporary accounts and parish registers, combined with gravestones, coffin plates and detailed osteological analysis of one quarter of the 3354 burials excavated, enable the reconstruction of some of their lives, and their deaths. They included migrants, many of the city's poor and those on the fringes of society. Some were the victims of recurrent epidemics and outbreaks of plague - confirmed by the identification of the plague pathogen in five skeletons - when mass, but orderly, graves were dug.

description: We study adaptive information for approximation of linear problems in a separable Hilbert space equipped with a probability measure Î¼. It is known that adaption does not help in the worst case for linear problems. We prove that adaption also does not help on the average. That is, there exists nonadaptive information which is as powerful as adaptive information. This result holds for "orthogonally invariant" measures. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a measure to be orthogonally invariant. Examples of orthogonally invariant measures include Gaussian measures and, in the finite dimensional case, weighted Lebesgue measures.

description: Urban police agencies and rural police agencies can differ with respect to the size of their police force, training, availability of resources, and size of area they patrol, yet Canadians tend to be favourable to their local police. The purpose of this study is to examine public perceptions of policing across Canada by comparing the perceptions of those living in rural areas to those in urban centres. Using population-level data collected by Statistics Canada through the General Social Survey Victimization (Cycle #28, 2014) this study assesses whether differences in perceptions of policing can be explained by the type of urban/rural population centre. Results suggest that when perceptions of police are examined across provinces, favourability differs between urban and rural population centres.

description: The ability to manipulate optical fields and the energy flow of light is central to modern information and communication technologies, as well as quantum information processing schemes. However, as photons do not possess charge, controlling them efficiently by electrical means has so far proved elusive. A promising way to achieve electric control of light could be through plasmon polaritons - coupled excitations of photons and charge carriers - in graphene. In this two-dimensional sheet of carbon atoms, it is expected that plasmon polaritons and their associated optical fields can be readily tuned electrically by varying the graphene carrier density. While optical graphene plasmon resonances have recently been investigated spectroscopically, no experiments so far have directly resolved propagating plasmons in real space. Here, we launch and detect propagating optical plasmons in tapered graphene nanostructures using near-field scattering microscopy with infrared excitation light. We provide real-space images of plasmonic field profiles and find that the extracted plasmon wavelength is remarkably short - over 40 times smaller than the wavelength of illumination. We exploit this strong optical field confinement to turn a graphene nanostructure into a tunable resonant plasmonic cavity with extremely small mode volume. The cavity resonance is controlled in-situ by gating the graphene, and in particular, complete switching on and off of the plasmon modes is demonstrated, thus paving the way towards graphene-based optical transistors. This successful alliance between nanoelectronics and nano-optics enables the development of unprecedented active subwavelength-scale optics and a plethora of novel nano-optoelectronic devices and functionalities, such as tunable metamaterials, nanoscale optical processing and strongly enhanced light-matter interactions for quantum devices and (bio)sensors.

Year: 2006
Subjects: Computer science

description: In this paper, we present Anagram, a content anomaly detector that models a mixture of high-order n-grams (n > 1) designed to detect anomalous and suspicious network packet payloads. By using higher- order n-grams, Anagram can detect significant anomalous byte sequences and generate robust signatures of validated malicious packet content. The Anagram content models are implemented using highly efficient Bloom filters, reducing space requirements and enabling privacy-preserving cross-site correlation. The sensor models the distinct content flow of a network or host using a semi- supervised training regimen. Previously known exploits, extracted from the signatures of an IDS, are likewise modeled in a Bloom filter and are used during training as well as detection time. We demonstrate that Anagram can identify anomalous traffic with high accuracy and low false positive rates. Anagram’s high-order n-gram analysis technique is also resilient against simple mimicry attacks that blend exploits with normal appearing byte padding, such as the blended polymorphic attack recently demonstrated in. We discuss randomized n-gram models, which further raises the bar and makes it more difficult for attackers to build precise packet structures to evade Anagram even if they know the distribution of the local site content flow. Finally, Anagram-’s speed and high detection rate makes it valuable not only as a standalone sensor, but also as a network anomaly flow classifier in an instrumented fault-tolerant host-based environment; this enables significant cost amortization and the possibility of a symbiotic feedback loop that can improve accuracy and reduce false positive rates over time.
The Thames Iron Works 1837-1912: a major shipbuilder on the thames

description: This report presents the archaeological investigations of the Thames iron works and shipbuilding Company which was one of the great private enterprises of the Victorian age. It launched several of the most famous warships of the time from its slipways at the mouth of the river Lea. One of the pioneers of shipbuilding in iron, the company flourished in the mid 19th century: the yard built ships not just for the royal navy but for other foreign powers seeking to furnish their navies with the super-weapons of that age. their expertise in iron construction was also deployed in ground-breaking civil engineering projects - several still in use - from Anglesey to Asia. Recent archaeological excavations at the launch-site of Crossrail tunnelling machines on the Limmo Peninsula afforded a glimpse of this vanished industry. several important components of the yard were investigated, including engineering workshops, a furnace, a mast house and mould loft building, and a slipway. an account of the development of the Thames iron works places it within the wider context of London's 19th-century shipbuilding industry.

description: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic autoimmune disease in which let-7i has been studied to involved. But, whether let-7i-3p could regulate osteoblast differentiation in AS remains unclear. This research targeted to decipher the impact of let-7i-3p on AS progression by modulating pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 (PDK1). The bone mineral density of femur and lumbar vertebra and the maximum loading and bending elastic modulus of tibia, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3, osteoprotegerin (OPG) and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) in serum of AS mice, the pathological condition of synovial tissue were determined via let-7i-3p inhibitor and OE-PDK1 in animal experiment. Also, the cell viability and ALP activity were measured by let-7i-3p inhibitor and OE-PDK1 in cell experiments. let-7i-3p and PDK1 expression were detected. Let-7i-3p raised and PDK1 declined in AS mice. Depleted let-7i-3p and restored PDK1 increased bone mineral density and maximum loading and bending elastic modulus of tibia, reduced TNF-α, MMP-3 and RANKL contents, attenuated the pathological condition of synovial tissue and raised OPG content in AS mice. In cell experiments, up-regulating PDK1 and down-regulating let-7i-3p enhanced cell viability and ALP activity in AS mice. Low expression of let-7i-3p could enhance osteoblast differentiation in AS by up-regulating PDK1.

description: We present a reputation scheme for a pseudonymous peer-to-peer (P2P) system in an anonymous network. Misbehavior is one of the biggest problems in pseudonymous P2P systems, where there is little incentive for proper behavior. In our scheme, using ecash for reputation points, the reputation of each user is closely related to his real identity rather than to his current pseudonym. Thus, our scheme allows an honest user to switch to a new pseudonym keeping his good reputation, while hindering a malicious user from erasing his trail of evil deeds with a new pseudonym.

description: In this paper, we study the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator for an event time distribution function at a point in the current status model with observation times supported on a grid of potentially unknown sparsity and with multiple subjects sharing the same observation time. This is of interest since observation time ties occur frequently with current status data. The grid resolution is specified as $cn^{-γ}$ with $c>0$ being a scaling constant and $γ>0$ regulating the sparsity of the grid relative to $n$, the number of subjects. The asymptotic behavior falls into three cases depending on $γ$: regular Gaussian-type asymptotics obtain for $γ<1/3$, nonstandard cube-root asymptotics prevail when $γ>1/3$ and $γ=1/3$ serves as a boundary at which the transition happens. The limit distribution at the boundary is different from either of the previous cases and converges weakly to those obtained with $γ\in(0,1/3)$ and $γ\in(1/3,\infty)$ as $c$ goes to $\infty$ and 0, respectively. This weak convergence allows us to develop an adaptive procedure to construct confidence intervals for the value of the event time distribution at a point of interest without needing to know or estimate $γ$, which is of enormous advantage from the perspective of inference. A simulation study of the adaptive procedure is presented.

description: We are interested in the intrinsic difficulty (or complexity) of computing an approximate solution of the linear operator equation Lu = f. Practical examples of such problems include the cases where L is a known partial differential or integral operator. Problems of the form Lu = f are typically solved under the constraint that only partial information about f is available, such as the values of a finite number of inner products, or the values of f at a finite number of points. It is of interest to determine when algorithms which are in wide use are optimal algorithms, i.e., algorithms which produce an approximation with minimal cost. We are especially interested in determining conditions which are necessary and sufficient for the finite element method (FEM) to be optimal. For the cases of elliptic partial differential equations and of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind, we describe such a condition, in the form of an inequality involving the order of the problem and the degree of the finite element subspace. Suppose this inequality is violated; is the nonoptimality of the FEM inherent in the information used by the FEM, or is it because the FEM uses this information in a nonoptimal manner? The latter is the case; there always exists an algorithm using this information which is optimal. We also discuss the situation in which the information used by the finite element method (which consists of inner products) is not available. Suppose that the only admissible information about f consists of evaluations of f. In the case of the Fredholm problem of the second kind, this information is optimal; moreover, a finite element method in which the inner products are approximated by quadrature rules is an optimal algorithm. However there exist elliptic problems of positive order for which this new information is nonoptimal.

description: Kevin Aston, one who coined the term, described Internet of Things (IoT) as computers that knew everything there was to know about things. Having such computers enable us to use the data to track and count everything, which results in huge reduction of waste and cost. A smart home is equipped with hundreds of sensors that perform measurements, and in combination with other data sources (e.g., third-party data), provides smarts that are used for personalization and automated services, as well as improving efficiency and convenience for its residents. Today's smart home platforms are primarily cloud-based, devices in the home that sense the environment and send the collected data, directly or through a hub, to the cloud. Clouds run various applications and analytics on the collected data and generate commands according to the users' specifications, that are sent to the actuators to control the environment. Focusing on cloud dependency of smart homes, this thesis makes two contributions. Design of a secure event logging system for a host-based smart home, SHEL. A secure and reliable event logging system is an essential component of smart homes with a wide range of applications such as fault detection, forensics, and accounting. We propose a host-based conceptual framework for storing and processing data in smart homes, analyze security requirements of such environments. We give an overview of our implementation of a message (event) logging system for a typical home and present the efficiency evaluation of our cryptographic design. Propose a resilient smart home. We ask the following question: What if the cloud is not available?This can happen not only by accident or natural causes but also due to targeted attacks. The role of the hub in this setup is effectively message passing between the devices and the cloud, while the required analytics, computation, and control are all performed by the cloud. We discuss possible effects of such unavailability on the functionalities that are commonly available in smart homes, including security and safety related services as well as support for health and well-being of home users. We propose the software architecture of RES-Hub, a hub that can provide the required functionalities when the cloud is unavailable. During the normal functioning of the system, RES-Hub will receive regular status updates from the cloud and will use this information to continue to provide the user-specified services when it detects the cloud is down. We describe an IoTivity-based software architecture that is used to implement RES-Hub in a flexible and expendable way and discuss our implementation.

Clocking Schemes for High Speed Digital Systems

description: A key element (one is tempted to say the heart) of most digital systems is the clock. Its period determines the rate at which data are processed, and so should be made as small as possible, consistent with reliable operation. Based on a worst case analysis, clocking schemes for high-performance systems are analyzed. These are 1- and 2-phase systems using simple clocked latches, and 1-phase systems using edge-triggered D-flip-flops. Within these categories (any of which may be preferable in a given situation), it is shown how optimal tradeoffs can be made by appropriately choosing the parameters of the clocking system as a function of the technology parameters. The tradeoffs involve the clock period (which of course determines the data rate) and the tolerances that must be enforced on the propagation delays through the logic. Clock-pulse edge tolerances are shown to be an important factor. It is shown that, for systems using latches, their detrimental effects on the clock period can be converted to tighter bounds on the short-path delays by allowing D changes to lag behind the leading edges of the clock pulses and by using wider clock pulses or, in the case of 2-phase systems, by overlapping the clock pulses.

description: A rapid and simple method was developed to determine the phenolic acids ferulic acid, chlorogenic acid and salicylic acid in botanical drugs by capillary electrophoresis with chemiluminescence detection. The sensitive chemiluminescence detection was carried out in a laboratory-constructed temperature-controlled interface by the use of acidic potassium permanganate as a chemiluminescence reagent. To obtain the optimized conditions, the experimental conditions for the capillary electrophoresis separation and chemiluminescence detection were systematically examined. Under the optimized conditions, the analytes were well separated within 7 min. The limits of detection for ferulic acid, chlorogenic acid and salicylic acid were 35, 58 and 37 µg/mL and the limits of quantification were 117, 193 and 123 µg/mL, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied for the quantitative determination of phenolic acids in Lonicera japonica flos and Rhizoma Chuanxiong.
