Quaternary multiplexer and demultiplexer circuits are very important building blocks of quaternary digital systems. In this paper, we show reversible realizations of 4x1 multiplexer and 1x4 demultiplexer circuits on the top of liquid ion-trap realizable 1x1 and Muthukrishnan-Stroud gates. Then we show scalable architectures for design of mx1 multiplexer and 1xm demultiplexer circuits using 4x1 multiplexers and 1x4 demultiplexers, respectively, where m ≤ 4n and n is the number of selection inputs. The proposed realizations of reversible multiplexer and demultiplexer circuits are more efficient than the earlier realizations in terms of number of primitive gates and number of ancilla inputs required.","PeriodicalId":115178,"journal":{"name":"2009 39th International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122903882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is clarified that the previous methods do not give the same results as the method of possible worlds. This is due to that the previous methods consider either of indicernibility or discernibility of missing values.In order to improve this point, a new method, called a method of possible equivalence classes, is described. By using possible equivalence classes, both indiscernibility and discernibility of missing values are taken into account. As a result, the method of possible equivalence classes gives the same results as the method of possible worlds.In addition, by using the maximal possible equivalence classes, not all possible equivalence classes, rough approximations are efficiently obtained.","PeriodicalId":115178,"journal":{"name":"2009 39th International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic","volume":"296 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121826011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a design example of the MVCM circuits, a seven-level current-signal detector including the current source is demonstrated under a 90nm CMOS technology. As a result, the proposed circuit is correctly operated in the operation range 1.0V to 1.4V of the power supply under 25 degC $pm$ 50 degC variation of the temperature.","PeriodicalId":115178,"journal":{"name":"2009 39th International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131946282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, as a result of the redefinition of focus, calculation of focus is very difficult because we need to check each atomic sentence in the visibility whether the atomic sentence is implied from the set of sentences we use in the current step of reasoning.

Once some path is speeded up, it next chooses and speeds up one of the paths sharing tasks with that path. The online component reclaims the slack, which occurs when some task actually finishes, to slow down the execution speed of its successor.

So it is effective to quantify the deformation change of cerebral gyri. This study introduces new index called gyral deformation index (GDI) that is defined as a ratio of area of gyrus of interest to area of cerebrum in the defined projection plane. To calculate the gyral areas, this paper proposes a gyral labeling method in the projection plane using magnetic resonance images. The new method finds the boundaries between the gyri by optimizing deformable boundary models aided by fuzzy logic. The proposed method was applied to quantify the cerebral deformation of infants on a plane which is perpendicular to the longitudinal fissure. The comparison results with the manual delineation showed that the method labels gyri with a mean sensitivity of 92.8% and a mean false positive rate of 0.1% for 14 infantile subjects (3 weeks – 4 years 3 months old).","PeriodicalId":115178,"journal":{"name":"2009 39th International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132676836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
