Statistical estimation of average power dissipation usingnonparametric techniques

In this paper, we present a new statistical technique for estimation of average power dissipation in digital circuits. The present parametric statistical technique estimates the average power based on the assumption that the power distribution can be characterized by a preassumed function. Large error can incur when the assumption is not met. On the other hand, the existing nonparametric technique, although accurate, is too conservative and requires a large sample size in order to achieve convergence. For a good tradeoff between simulation accuracy and computational efficiency, we propose a new nonparametric technique using the properties of the order statistics. It is generally applicable to any type of circuit irrespective of its power distribution function. Compared to the existing nonparametric technique, it is much more computationally efficient since it requires a much smaller sample size to achieve the same accuracy specification. This new technique is implemented in the distribution-independent power estimation tool (DIPE). DIPE is empirically demonstrated to be more robust and accurate than the parametric technique     

An empirical study of information technology enabled business process redesign and corporate competitive strategy

Business process redesign (BPR) has been widely touted as a means for leveraging the power of information technology to change business processes radically, resulting in substantial improvements in organizational effectiveness and efficiency. This study represents an early attempt at examining the strategic nature of the phenomenon. Because BPR is radical change and has the ability to alter both the competitive and operational nature of the corporation, it is critical that BPR be coordinated with corporate strategy. Through a survey of information system executives, the relationships between corporate competitive strategy and three types of BPR – intrafunctional, interfunctional and interorganizational – were examined. It was found that organizations following a cost strategy tended to do more BPR projects on interfunctional processes. Furthermore, the positive effect of a cost strategy on interfunctional BPR was found to be strengthened by the degree of integration of IS and business planning. It was also found that while interorganizational BPR was not related to a specific strategy, it was strongly related directly with IS–business planning integration.

《周培德三角剖分不是最小权三角剖分》一文商榷——反例不成立

周培协三角剖分是否能得到最小权三角剖分，周培德在《周培德三角部分不是最小权三角剖分》一文撰写之前已有新的结论，本文还指出《周培德三角剖分不是最小权三角剖分》一文所举反例不成立。     

HIPS-g-MA共聚物对HIPS/PC共混物相容性、形态和拉伸性能的影响

研究了HIPS／PC共混物的相容性及HIPS－MA对HIPS（30）／PC（70）共混物的相容性、形态和拉伸性能的影响。DSC研究结果表明，HIPS／PC共混物中PS的玻璃化转变温度（Tg)不随组成而变化，而PC的Tg随其质量分数的降低逐渐向低温移动，说明HIPS／PC是部分相容体系。通过DSC、扫描电镜形态观察和拉伸性能测试结果发现，当HIPS－g-MA的含量低于7．5％时，共混物的相容性改善不明显，当其含量达到7．5％时，对共混物有明显的乳化作用，说明饱和的界面浓度在7．5％左右。HIPS－g-MA接枝共聚物在HIPS（30）／PC（70）共混物中的增容作用可能是酯交换反应原位生成的嵌段共聚物所致。
