Hedonism and preferentialism are two popular theories about what has final value, i.e. is valuable for its own sake. The latter theory is customarily portrayed as the wider of these, in that it ascribes value to much more than pleasures, viz., to any object of a final preference. By examining the metaphysical underpinnings of these views, it is argued that a fundamental issue between these theorie
Underlining the too widespread underestimation of cultural differences by managers, international management literature problematizes culture as a critical factor for global competitiveness. Evidence from recent critical research (e.g. Westwood 2006) has shown that many of the main works within cross-cultural management (especially Hofstede 1980) and more broadly international management can be se
Two 1.8GHz CMOS VCOs, based on a diode-varicap and an MOS-varicap, respectively, have been designed in a 0.8µm digital CMOS process and tested. Although the tuning range is larger for the MOS-varicap VCO, the overall performance of the diode-varicap VCO is superior to that of the MOS-varicap VCO. The comparison might give a different result by adopting a CMOS process that allows for shorter minimu
In this paper, the metastability of current-mode logic (CML) latches and flip-flops is studied in detail. Based on the results of this analysis, a behavioral model of bang-bang phase detectors (BBPDs) is proposed, which is able to reliably capture the critical deadzone effect. The impact of jitter and of process, voltage and temperature variations on the BBPD behavior is also investigated. The pro
This paper aims to introduce and discuss a geometrically based model, the relative prominence model, which is inspired by Tversky's (1977) finding that a factor behind asymmetric similarity seems to be the "relative prominence". The model proposes that the experienced directed similarity from I to J is proportional to some symmetric similarity measure between I and J, and the quotient between the
