The rapid scaling of complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology has resulted in the sharp increase of time resolution and the continuous decrease of voltage headroom. As a result, time-mode circuits where information is represented by the time difference between the occurrence of digital events, rather than the nodal voltages or branch currents of electric networks, offer a viabl…
With all the fantastic Cisco documentation available online, why does the world of UCCE need this book? UCCE is such a big topic that it would be easy to think that it is possible to try and cover absolutely everything. Unfortunately, this would turn this book into nothing more than a product reference manual that could potentially be out of date as soon as a new UCCE software version became av…

The information revolution has been a mixed blessing for China and the world. On one hand, computer networks have enhanced economic productivity, national security, and social interaction. In 2009 alone the Internet contributed to 2.6% of gross domestic product (GDP) growth in China and 3.8% in the United States. The Internet contribution to GDP growth from 2004 to 2009 averaged 21% for mature …
In ancient Greek, ‘stratos’ was the term for the army and so in military terms, ‘strategy’ referred to ‘the act of the general’. So, the origins of ‘strategy’ – the ‘art of the general’ – comes from the military arena – from China came “The Art of War” by Sun Tzu, from Prussia came “On War’ by Carl von Clausewitz. In recent times the defeat of the Nazi regime…

Economists have, in some sense, always known that growth is important. Yet, at the core of the discipline, the study of economic growth languished after the late 1960s. Then, after a lapse of two decades, this research became vigorous again in the late 1980s. The new research began with models of the determination of long-run growth, an area that is now called endogenous growth theory. Othe…
