On the Construction of Optimal Time Adders
Fundamenta Informaticae, 1989In this paper we present the design of a novel optimal time adder: the conditional carry adder. In order to perform addition a tree-like combination of multiplexer cells is used in the carry computation part. We show that, for the complete conditional carry adder, this results in an overall computation time which seems to be substantially shorter than ...

Submodule construction for timed systems
Proceedings of the 41st IEEE Conference on Decision and Control, 2002., 2003Addresses the problem of designing a submodule of a given timed system. For representing specifications, we use the model of communicating timed input/output automata. The problem may be formulated mathematically by the equation (C/spl par/X)/spl Rfr/A under the constraint I/sub n/, where C represents the specification of the known part of the system ...

Time & Society, 2002
This article examines the ways in which time is revisioned within the marketing discourses of the diamond trade. Time, it is argued, is a key component in the ways in which consumers are interpellated as buyers of diamonds. The article explores a series of time `frames' in order to excavate the ways in which time is used in marketing rhetoric and ...

Abstract The construction time of PWRs is studied considering published data about nuclear power plants in the world. For the 268 PWRs in operation in 2010, the mode of the construction time distribution is around 5–6 years, and 80% of the plants were built in less than 120 months.

Constructing augmented time compactors
2010 15th IEEE European Test Symposium, 2010In this paper, a procedure for constructing time compactors based on a new 3-dimensional augmented product code is presented. Accordingly, augmented time compactors are constructed by assigning a unique triplet to each scan chain and calculating at least four sets of parity check bits.

Time and self on the intersubjective construction of time
Psychoanalytic Dialogues, 1997This paper develops the idea that the human experience of time is not a creation of an isolated mind, but emerges within the earliest intersubjective experiences. Following Winnicott's main theoretical assumptions about the role of the environment and the processes of ego integration, the paper focuses on the sense and the concept of time as stemming ...

Language Variation and Change, 1991
ABSTRACTThe use of apparent time differences to study language change in progress has been a basic analytical construct in quantitative sociolinguistics for over 30 years. The basic assumption underlying the construct is that, unless there is evidence to the contrary, differences among generations of similar adults mirror actual diachronic developments

TIME AND SOCIALIST CONSTRUCTION
International Journal of Sociology and Social Policy, 1984Let us submit the following proposition for consideration: the essence of socialist construction lies in the bid to appropriate the future and is therefore expressed politically, in the organised manipulation of time. What we ordinarily take to be the sine qua non of socialist relations, namely central planning, totalitarian rule and the abolition of ...

Timing and Plot “Construction”
2015As John Russell Taylor observes in The Rise and Fall of the Well-Made Play, the term “plot construction” is acutely misleading, employing as it does an architectural metaphor although drama is a temporal art form. It is therefore not only appropriate to speak of “timing,” “time management” or “temporal organization” of a play rather than of ...
