Automatic FPGA Placement Configuration for Customer Designs

Searching for new ways to improve the efficiency of integrated circuits (IC) led to the development of specialized heterogeneous configurable IC (FPGA) and systems-on-a-chip. Their key feature is an extended interpretation of standard cell library, containing ready-to-use IP cores along with standard cells. Specific customer designs require the flexibility of the configurable heterogeneous IC’s architecture and, therefore, automatic CAD clustering and placement algorithms configuration. The development of efficient configuration methods and algorithms is impossible without relying on the mathematical apparatus. In this work, such mathematical apparatus is provided. The authors described a set-theoretic model of a hierarchical project and formalized the hierarchical approach to the netlist, using the apparatus of mathematical logic, set and graph theories. The correspondence between the customers designs’ elements and FPGA’s elements has been formalized to provide fast clustering and placement configuration. The obtained results provide the basis for future efficient methods for automatic placement and clustering configuration.

Banal Cosmopolitanism? Values and Cultural Repertoires of Youth in Adriatic Croatia

The field of cultural consumption features an abundant body of research addressing the relationship between the local and global. While this research concentrates on issues of cultural repertoires and socio-economic context, the investigation of values continues to be been under-researched. An extended interpretation of the concept of banal cosmopolitanism is proposed as an attempt to describe the relationship between cultural consumption and values. Based on quantitative research (N = 2650) of high-school students in major cities of Adriatic Croatia, using cluster analysis, three value types were identified: modern, transitional and traditional. Our research shows that the modern type is mainly correlated with highbrow cultural practices and stronger preference towards foreign cultural artefacts, whereas traditional type is more prone to be involved in the local culture that uses national language. The article concludes that there is a positive relation between values and preference towards global culture that can be interpreted as a form of embodied cultural capital, adding a stronger emphasis on values to the current discussion on the relationship between cosmopolitanism and culture.

Singular Nonlinear Equation Class : Theoretical and Experimental Concept

This work generalizes and extends our work in refs [10,29,37], dealing a theoretical model of a monoatomic chain immersed in a potential of periodic and deformable substrate, the third and fourth non-linearities being taken into account. Looking at the analytical localized modes provides an extended interpretation of system dynamics based upon modes existence and yields an extended form of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation to describe the eikonal wave's complex amplitude. In this equation, the coeffcients depend on the wavenumber, whereas the parallel with the nonlinear transmission electrical line introduced in references results in [1,2] not fully resolved dynamic equations. So far, only specific solutions have been presented. Our dynamic study thus presents a theoretical prediction for their experimental set up. In contrast to previous works done for particular values of the wavenumber, namely on the behavior of gap (k = 0 and k = π) solutions of the model [10], or for k (k = ±2π=3) in the central bandpass area [37], we consider here rather behaviors of the system when the angular frequency is arbitrary. By using bifurcation theory of planar dynamical systems and investigating the dynamical behavior, we derive a variety of solutions corresponding to the phase trajectories under different parameter conditions.

Art nouveau period: borders and concepts

The article offers an extensive overview of modern approaches to definition of art nouveau as a literary era and to establishing its chronological boundaries. There have been analyzed main variations of the self-definition of the era as well as researchers attempts to find an appropriate definition to this complex aesthetic phenomenon. The extended interpretation of art nouveau as a macroepoch is examined, the period dating back to the end of the 18th century and connected primarily with the artistic system of Romanticism. Based on the aesthetic manifestos of German Naturalism, the meaning of the literary situation in 1880th Germany is examined, where the widespread proclamations of the aesthetic revolution and modern attitudes coexisted with the adherence to the deterministic aesthetics of the previous decades. The leading trends in the culture of the fin de sicle are connected with the onset of the first stage of art nouveau in the art and literature of 1890-1900, soon to be replaced by avant-garde art at the turn of the second decade of the new century. Avant-garde, which associated itself with modernity, was mainly destroying already established art forms. This article suggests that the literary avant-garde as a project of the future manifests a utilitarian approach to the attitudes of the art nouveau on the brink of the new century, making art nouveau accessible for the audience and bringing the artist into the space of political interaction with the society.

Privacy and Speech

This chapter discusses the concept of privacy and case law which shows the different approaches between Europe and the US concerning the balancing of freedom of speech when it conflicts with other rights. Judges and scholars also refer to the concept of human dignity in this area. The concept of dignity can serve in the US in order to limit freedom of expression, whereas it serves in Europe as a foundation of the need to limit freedom of expression. The requirement for government transparency creates a presumption in favour of protecting expression. The extended interpretation of ‘privacy’ in the law of many European states means depriving the public debate from information that would be crucial to a well-informed electorate. The chapter then looks at the intermediate concepts that judges have come up with in order to balance the exercise of rights in conflict. Those criteria concern the periphery of the activities that are to be protected by the right to privacy. The chapter concludes with a consideration of the right to be forgotten.

Problems of applying the principle of due diligence in the implementation of tax control in order to ensure the economic security of the enterprise

The article deals with the problems of applying the principle of due diligence in the current activities of the organization in the implementation of tax control in order to ensure the economic security of the enterprise in modern conditions of increasing the capabilities of information systems. Special attention is paid to the requirements of reliability of accounting and tax accounting. It is concluded that compliance with the strict requirements of the performance standards and innovations of Russian legislation on the tax records allows you to ensure the economic security of economic entity, for this purpose it is necessary to monitor the compliance of accounting policy for accounting purposes and for taxation purposes the requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation on accounting and taxation, given the characteristics of economic activity of the enterprise. Emphasis is placed on the reliability of accounting and tax accounting. The principles of due diligence in the calculation of value added tax are important. It is stated that at present, there is no legally established definition of the principle of due diligence, which does not allow its extended interpretation by law enforcement agencies.

On the Limits of the Ural Megasupertext in Russian Culture. Review of: Sozina, E. K. (Ed.). (2020). Istoriia literatury Urala. XIX vek [The History of Ural Literature. 19th Century]. (Books 1–2). Moscow: Izdatel’skii Dom YaSK. 1439 p.

The book under review is the first research in the history of Russian philology aimed at structuring and comprehensive description of 19th-century Russian literature in the Urals. The monograph coauthored by the best scholars of regional fiction substantiates the term ‘Ural megasupertext’. The review raises a question about the outer limits and semantic capacity of the term. The History of Ural Literature gives an extended interpretation thereof, as the research subject comprises Russian as well as national literatures from the geographical Great Urals such as Bashkir, Komi, and Udmurt literatures. The authors look beyond the literary process research turning to studying the theatre and publishing trade which inevitably leads the ‘Ural text’ concept to extend. Besides, The History of Ural Literature comprises works by writers both directly connected with the region and those whose stay in the Urals was momentary. The review states that actual experience of writing monographs aimed at comprehensive construction of the history of literature demonstrates that each time scholars must consistently solve for themselves the fundamental issues connected with the capacity and structure of the research field.

«ONTOLOGISM OF FAITH» IN THEISTIC ANTHROPOLOGY AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO R. AVENARIUS’S «BIOPSYCHOLOGISM»

The article presents the criticism of R. Avenarius’s empiriocriticism by representatives of the Russian spiritual and academic philosophy of the early twentieth century. The theistic model of cognition, based on Platonic ontology and an extended interpretation of the phenomenon of faith, is contrasted with the biopsychologism of Avenarius. The article substantiates the point of view that the criticism of the ideas of empiriocriticism stimulated the construction of its own version of philosophical and religious anthropology in Orthodox academic theism
