Due to the increased usage of NAT boxes and firewalls, it has become harder for applications to establish direct connections seamlessly among two end-hosts. A recently, adopted proposal to mitigate this problem is to use relay nodes, end-hosts that act as ...

In this study, we explore the impact of venture capitalist involvement on the relationship between a new venture's pre-IPO performance and the subsequent likelihood of founder turnover. Using new venture perspectives, and the life cycle and agency theories ...
This paper presents an efficient approach to rotation discriminative template matching. A hierarchical search divided in three steps is proposed. First, gradient magnitude is compared to rapidly localise points with high probability of match. This result i ...
In perceptual learning, performance often improves within a short time if only one stimulus variant is presented, such as a line bisection stimulus with one outer-line-distance. However, performance stagnates if two bisection stimuli with two outer-line-di ...

Eleven novel donor acceptor π-conjugated (D-π-A) org. dyes were engineered and synthesized as sensitizers for the application in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The electron-donating moieties are substituted tetrahydroquinoline, and the electron-withdr ...
The aim of this paper is to present the results of the performance study of medium voltage overhead distribution lines against lightning discharges, in the way to define methodologies to reduce the system failures. The results are obtained within the partn ...
In chip multiprocessors (CMPs), limiting the number of offchip cache misses is crucial for good performance. Many multithreaded programs provide opportunities for constructive cache sharing, in which concurrently scheduled threads share a largely overlappi ...
Audio-visual speech recognition promises to improve the performance of speech recognizers, especially when the audio is corrupted, by adding information from the visual modality, more specifically, from the video of the speaker. However, the number of visu ...
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations under transverse shear, uniaxial compression, and pullout loading configurations are reported for multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with different fraction of interwall sp(3) bonds. The interwall shear coupling in MWCN ...
This paper analyses the role of patent-filing fees requested by the member states of the European Patent Convention (EPC). We provide first empirical evidence showing that the fee elasticity of the demand for priority applications is negative and significa ...
