El narrador testigo en "Less than zero": la nueva novela norteamericana de los 80 by Lucía Mora González

“…The characters who inhabit this low-life ambience are everyday guys who may be a bit down on their luck. But in general the stories are full of men and women whose lives are troubled or just plain empty being difficult for them to communicate themselves with society. …”

Truly subcubic min-plus product for less structured matrices, with applications by Williams, VV, Xu, Y

“…The results are as follows: (1) Our main result is the first truly subcubic algorithm for the Min-Plus product of two n×n matrices A and B with polylog n bit integer entries, where B has a partitioning into nε × nε blocks (for any ε > 0) where each block is at most nδ-far (for δ < 3 − ω, where 2 ≤ ω < 2.373) in `∞ norm from a constant rank integer matrix. …”

Hardware-software co-exploration and optimization for next-generation learning machines by Chen, Chunyun

“…We introduce adopting Tunstall coding — a Variable-to-Fixed (V2F) coding scheme, for DNN models compression and introduce two Tunstall decoders — the Logic Oriented and the Memory Oriented decoders, with up to a 20× decrease in memory usage and a 100× reduction in energy consumption compared to 32-bit DNNs. Furthermore, these decoders process data 3× to 6× faster than F2V coding schemes. …”

Design methodologies for robust and low-overhead asynchronous quasi-delay-insensitive digital systems by Zhou, Rong

“…To verify the effectiveness of the proposed synthesis tool, an 8-bit 8-tap async QDI Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter based on IBM 130nm CMOS process is synthesized and implemented; it dissipates 3.7mW @ 5MHz sampling rate and features 0.74nJ per operation, whereas the reported async design methodology dissipates 1.13nJ per operation (1.53× energy per operation as that of the proposed methodology). …”

Piezoelectric energy harvesting interface circuits for energy autonomous sensors by Koottungal Paramba, Arish Shareef

“…However, in space-constrained designs, it becomes imperative to harvest the last bit of energy left in the tiny transducer. MEMS based transducers subjected to ambient vibrations typically produce low voltages, which are not efficiently harvested using conventional diode based rectifier circuits. …”

Tracking of real and complex sinusoids using piloted adaptive notch filter by Chobey, Dinesh Kumar

“…Finally, the filter is implemented to suppress complex sinusoidal interference in a QPSK spread spectrum communication systems which shows improvement over conventional CANF in overall bit error rate (BER). This research leads to a detailed understanding and development of piloted adaptive notch filter to estimate and track both real and complex sinusoid.…”
