Adaptive controllers with explicit and implicit reference models and stochastic self tuning regulators-eqivalence and duality aspects
|
It is shown in this paper that : 1) The Minimum Variance Self Tuning Regulators and a configuration of Adaptive Controllers with Implicit (or Explicit) Reference Model feature an asymptotic duality character which extends the duality existing in the linear case with known parameters between the minimum variance control and the modal control. 2) Adaptive Control with an Explicit Reference Model is equivalent to an Adaptive Control with an Implicit Reference Model using an intermediate adaptive predictor, if the adaptive predictor plus the control behave like the explicit reference model. 3) The result of 1) is generalized by considering the asymptotic duality between Model Reference Adaptive Controllers and the class of Stochastic self Tuning Regulators which contains the self tuning minimum variance regulator as a particular case.

The specification of non-functional requirements, e. g., on timing forms an essential part of modern system design. Modeling languages such as MARTE/CCSL provide dedicated description means enabling engineers to formally define the ticking of the clocks to be implemented in terms of clock constraints and the actually intended timing behavior in terms of instant relations. But thus far, instant relations have only been utilized in order to monitor the correct execution of the clock constraints. In this work, we propose a methodology which, for the first time, verifies clock constraints against the given instant relations. To this end, the timing behavior is represented in terms of an automaton followed by its verification through satisfiability solvers. A case study illustrates the application of the proposed methodology.

On compliance test of on-chip bus for SOC
|
We employ a monitor-based approach for on-chip bus (OCB) compliance test. To describe the OCB protocols, we propose a FSM model, which can help to extract the necessary properties systematically and verify the data part of a bus transfer efficiently. To demonstrate our methodology, we illustrate two OCB protocols, WISHBONE and AMBA AHB, as the study cases. The experimental results show that we can verify the OCB protocols efficiently and detect the design errors when tests fail.

Complexity Analysis of Reversible Logic Synthesis
|
Reversible logic circuit is a necessary construction for achieving ultra low power dissipation as well as for prominent post-CMOS computing technologies such as Quantum computing. Consequently automatic synthesis of a Boolean function using elementary reversible logic gates has received significant research attention in recent times, creating the domain of reversible logic synthesis. In this paper, we study the complexity of reversible logic synthesis. The problem is separately studied for bounded-ancilla and ancilla-free optimal synthesis approaches. The computational complexity for both cases are linked to known/presumed hard problems. Finally, experiments are performed with a shortest-path based reversible logic synthesis approach and a (0-1) ILP-based formulation.

We present a novel approach to the synchronization problem. It is a well-known fact that a problem of finding minimal (or: the shortest) synchronizing word (MSW) for a given synchronizing automaton is NP-complete. In this paper we present the genetic algorithm which tries, for a given automaton, to find possibly short word that synchronizes it. We use a modified version of a classical simple genetic algorithm (SGA).

Efficient Simulation Acceleration by FPGA Compilation Avoidance
|
In this paper, we proposed an efficient FPGA-based simulation acceleration method based on FPGA compilation avoidance, which can effectively decrease the long debugging turnaround time incurred from the every debugging process in the functional verification. The proposed method had been experimentally applied to the functional verification for a microcontroller design. It had clearly shown that the debugging turnaround time was greatly reduced while the high simulation speed of the simulation acceleration was still maintained.

We study a new technique for optimal data compression subject to conditions of causality and different types of memory. The technique is based on the assumption that some information about compressed data can be obtained from a solution of the associated problem without constraints of causality and memory. This allows us to consider two separate problem related to compression and de- compression subject to those constraints. Their solutions are given and the analysis of the associated errors is provided. Keywords—stochastic signals, optimization problems in signal processing.

Run time reconfiguration of FPGA for scanning genomic databases
|
This paper evaluates the feasibility of reconfiguring an FPGA at run time, and tests its performance using a "Grand Challenge Problem", the high speed scanning of genomic sequence databases. Algorithm implementation into a XC3090 FPGA is described, and methods proposed for generating a placed Xilinx Netlist File that can be efficiently routed at run time by the Automated Placing and Routing Xilinx tools, in order to increase the speed and the density of the design. The same algorithm carefully optimised on a RISC processor has been compared with the run time reconfigurated FPGA, and shows the latter to have an improvement in speed of two to three orders of magnitude.

Summary form only given, as follows. A study is presented of precision constraints imposed by a hybrid chip architecture with analog neurons and digital backpropagation calculations. Conversions between the analog and digital domains and weight storage restrictions impose precision limits on both analog and digital calculations. It is shown through simulations that a learning system of this nature can be implemented in spite of limited resolution in the analog circuits and using fixed-point arithmetic to implement the backpropagation algorithm. >

Defect control using an automatic killer defect selection method
|
In LSI mass production lines, it is very important to improve the detection accuracy of fatal excursions in defect trend charts in order to ramp up quickly and maintain good yield. It is for this reason that killer defects which could cause device faults should be monitored. We have developed an automatic killer defect selection (AKIDS) method to assist and improve the accuracy of this process. This method judges defects as killer or nonkiller by comparing defect sizes against killer defect judgement criteria. We applied AKIDS in the defect QC and sampling review processes, and found it to be effective in both detecting fatal excursions and selecting good review points for identifying the source of device faults.

The semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) industry in Taiwan plays a significant role in the world, and accounts for a major market share of packaging and testing. Past studies have discussed job-releasing models for upstream IC manufacturing industries, but only few have discussed from an IC turnkey perspective for IC testing and assembly processes. This article proposes a job-releasing strategy for an IC turnkey factory that achieves the following objectives under limited resources: (1) increasing the overall equipment efficiency of IC test equipments, (2) reducing IC fabrication cycle time and (3) increasing on-time delivery rate. To balance capacity utilisation between IC assembly and testing operations, this study uses a genetic algorithm with workload regulation heuristics to find a good job-releasing plan. The proposed strategy is implemented in an IC turnkey factory and is found to outperform the conventional strategy.

Model reduction of discrete-time systems in limited intervals
|
Model order reduction (MOR) is a process of obtaining a lower order surrogate model that accurately approximates the original high-order system. Since no actuator or plant operates over the entire time and frequency ranges, the reduced-order model should be accurate in the actual range of operation. In this paper, model reduction techniques for discrete time systems are presented that ensure less reduction error in the specified time and frequency intervals. The techniques are tested on the benchmark numerical examples and their efficacy is shown.

Analog Intellectual Property Cores design is still under study [1, 2]. The precharacterized cell libraries concept cannot be applied because the devices (transistors, capacitors, resistors,...) are electrically sized regarding a specific context. Thus, the trend is to develop reusable generators. To guarantee a reusable and fast placement, slicing tree floorplan can be used. Considering a particular electrical sizing and a specific process, the analog devices may occupy a wide range of shapes because of folding. Finding the correct aspect ratio for each device which optimizes the placement under a specific height and/or width constraint may lead to examine a high number of cases. This paper presents a general placement method to manage rectangular objects with varying aspect ratio. This approach allows hierarchical layout-aware electrical sizing of analog circuits.

What It Takes to Be an Entrepreneur: A Questionnaire Approach
|
A method for predicting vehicle speed in a braking control system for wheeled vehicles, where a signal representing wheel speed before braking is used to trigger charging of a capacitor in an electronic unit. The capacitor voltage is reduced during braking in response to a predetermined retardation value in order to correspond to an instantaneous value for the vehicle speed. The vehicle speed signal is compared with a wheel speed signal, which comparison triggers, when the wheel speed signal exceeds the vehicle speed signal, up-dating of the capacitor voltage level to a value corresponding to the actual wheel speed signal. When up-dating the vehicle speed signal, the preselected retardation value is gradually lowered by a value corresponding to the magnitude of the actual up-dating.

The Relative Impact of Personality Traits, Meaningful Occupation and Occupational Value on Meaning in Life and Life Satisfaction
|
Occupational science has held a peripheral interest in the role personality traits may serve in influencing people's engagement in occupation. Like occupation, personality has been identified as a significant factor in explaining personal well-being within the social sciences. Recent models implicate personality, personal projects or life tasks, and personal narrative as three essential layers for understanding human experience. The present study explored how personality traits are related to meaningful occupation and occupational value (two complementary perspectives on occupational experience) and to well-being. In a sample of 224 undergraduate and graduate students from a Mountain-West university in the USA, measures of the Big Five personality traits, life satisfaction and meaning in life were evaluated in relation to the Engagement in Meaningful Activities Survey (EMAS) and the Occupational Value Assessment with Predefined Items (OVal-pd). This study demonstrated that personality variables help to ex...

The Trait of Curiosity as a Predictor of Emotional Intelligence
|
This study examined the relationship between curiosity and emotional intelligence (EI) in a sample of graduate and undergraduate students in business administration courses (N = 312). To determine the nature of this relationship, curiosity was assessed using the Melbourne Curiosity Index (MCI; Naylor, 1981) and the Curiosity and Exploration Inventory (CEI; Kashdan, Rose, & Fincham, 2004). Emotional intelligence was measured using the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS; Salovey, Mayer, Goldman, Turvey, & Palfai, 1995). The results indicate that there is a significant relationship between trait curiosity and emotional intelligence.

The study aims to investigate structural relationships among teenagers’ peer attachment, self-control, academic stress, internet usage time, and cyber delinquency. The data source was the Korea Youth Panel Survey, and the responses from 920 teenagers in the 12th grade provided the study data. Structural equation modeling was used for the analysis. The results indicated that teenager self-control significantly affected the internet usage time. Also, peer attachment, self-control, academic stress, and internet usage significantly affected teenager cyber delinquency. The research results imply that the development of peer attachment and self-control is important to reduce cyber delinquency.

ABSTRACT Computer crime—specifically, software piracy—is growing, and no research in criminology examines whether low self-control can help us understand the behavior. This study examines the link that Gottfredson and Hirschi's (1990) idea of low self-control has with software piracy. Using a nonrandom sample of college students and measures of low self-control, software pirating peers, software pirating attitudes, and moral beliefs toward software piracy, the findings show that low self-control has a link with software piracy. This finding expands the scope of self-control theory and provides an understanding of why the behavior occurs.

This study is the first to examine the possibility that formal civics training provides a foundation for civic engagement that is conducive to the use of novel methods of engaging the polity. The study found that each step toward greater interactivity in civics instruction predicted greater use of social media in the 2008 elections. Findings also showed that those with civics training were two times more likely to use social media than those without. Extracurricular activities were not found to narrow the gap. Unless extracurricular activities specifically focused on political engagement, such as debate and volunteering for a campaign, they were not found to predict social networking activity in the 2008 election.

An improved approach to product quality through testing
|
Due to the crucial importance of the 1B processor project, AT&T Network Systems (NS) implemented extensive testing programs to ensure that the product delivered was of the highest quality and met customers' needs. In addition to normal customer acceptance testing, the AT&T Network Services Division (NSD) introduced an innovative new strategy called the accelerated life-cycle test program (ALTP) to facilitate the identification and repair of defects. NSD used a 4ESS™ switch having 100-percent reversible traffic to test the retrofit process and to ensure that customer service would not be adversely affected by the introduction of the 1B into the AT&T network. This paper describes the final product integration and verification processes performed by NS, along with the special testing programs established by NSD customers.

Towards a Usability and Error "Safety Net": A Multi-Phased Multi-Method Approach to Ensuring System Usability and Safety.
|
The usability and safety of health information systems have become major issues in the design and implementation of useful healthcare IT. In this paper we describe a multi-phased multi-method approach to integrating usability engineering methods into system testing to ensure both usability and safety of healthcare IT upon widespread deployment. The approach involves usability testing followed by clinical simulation (conducted in-situ) and "near-live" recording of user interactions with systems. At key stages in this process, usability problems are identified and rectified forming a usability and technology-induced error "safety net" that catches different types of usability and safety problems prior to releasing systems widely in healthcare settings.

The growing popularity of the social networking sites has presented new options for the development of learning and teaching environments to provide informal learning. In this study, the usage of social networking sites for the purpose of learning and teaching has been analyzed using the extended Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) model. A survey has been conducted to analyze the behavior in regard to the acceptance of social media for learning and teaching and the results were systematically analyzed with linear univariate and multivariate regression analysis techniques to apply the path analysis approach. The test results indicated that TRA has significant predictive power regarding the usage of social media for learning and teaching purposes. Among external variables, only PRB showed significant influence on the research model.

Marijuana Effect Expectancies: Relations to Social Anxiety and Marijuana Use Problems
|
Abstract High social anxiety is related to marijuana problems, yet the nature of this relation remains unclear. We examined relations between marijuana effect expectancies, social anxiety, and marijuana among undergraduates ( N = 337). Social anxiety was related positively to Negative Expectancies and negatively to Tension Reduction Expectancies. Among socially anxious individuals, greater belief that marijuana produces Cognitive and Behavioral Impairment was associated with greater marijuana use rates. Negative Expectancies mediated the social anxiety–marijuana problems link. These data provide new insight into problematic marijuana use among this high-risk group.

Latin American Social Movements Take on the Net
|
Sally Burch argues that there is enormous potential for marginalized social groups to take advantage of the Internet for networking. The experience of Latin American social movements is demonstrating that participation in social dynamics is a strong incentive. But connectivity is only the first step. A study has explored how social networks are using this technology, the obstacles they face and the challenge of appropriating it, to fulfil their own goals. Communications training is a key need.

Marijuana: Implications of Use by Young People.
|
People refer vaguely to a “marijuana problem” suggesting the drug impairs the development, learning, and schooling of youngsters. This study uses survey and interview data and recent findings reported in journals to consider that problem in the following areas: marijuana is being used too frequently and at too early an age, marijuana is being used for negative reasons, psychoactive effects of the drug lead to irrational or unsafe behavior, young people lack accurate information about the drug's effects, use of marijuana leads to dependence or to the use of other drugs, use of marijuana impairs ability to learn, and the use of marijuana contributes to schooling problems: absenteeism, tardiness, drug trafficking, and other negative behavior.

Simulated study on users' information service choice behaviors
|
This study develops a model for simulation of users' information service choice behaviors based on the theory of cellular automata. Two elements that could influence the diffusion process of information service are chosen in this model. They are the user's requirements and the service-requirement matching degree. Using this model, several tests are made to simulate the impact of the two different elements on the diffusion process respectively. Result shows that increasing users' requirement can make more users to use the information service, but the effect will decrease gradually when the requirement keeps increasing if the service's quality remains normal. It also shows that the matching degree of service to users' requirement is critical to the service acceptance. It suggests that the service providers should improving service quality according to users' actual requirements.

Can Computer Playfulness and Cognitive Absorption Lead to Problematic Technology Usage
|
Prior IS research demonstrates that computer playfulness, personal innovativeness and cognitive absorption during technology use lead to a number of positive behavioral and affective outcomes. While early studies have warned that these individual traits and psychological states can lead to certain negative effects, little IS research has empirically investigated this possibility. Building on recent findings in psychological research, this study represents an initial effort to fill this gap. Following prior IS work and using the World Wide Web as the target technology, our survey data revealed that innovative, playful and cognitively absorbed technology users are more likely to 1) exhibit problematic usage behavior, and 2) engage in higher daily usage. However, this increased overall usage is likely a result of increased use for social and leisure purposes, rather than for work and study purposes. Managerial and research implications of our findings are discussed.

Integrating Technology into New Student Orientation Programs at Community Colleges
|
The higher education industry is increasingly technologically pervasive. Reports of required personal computer purchases or the outright awarding of computers to new students provide examples of the expectations institutions have for students. Little focus, however, has been placed on the preparedness of new college students to cope with the technologically driven campus. This may be particularly true on community college campuses where non-traditional students comprise a large percentage of new students. The current study identified strategies for the exposure of new students to technology during new student orientation programs. By surveying senior student affairs officers in community colleges, institutional email accounts and emphasizing the importance of technology were identified as potentially effective measures for integrating technology exposure and education into new student orientations.

Reasons for Referral for Electroconvulsive Therapy: A Comparison Between Adolescents and Adults
|
Objective: In order to improve our understanding of the use of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in adolescent patients, we aimed to evaluate the reasons for referral for ECT in different age groups. Method: We compared the reasons for adolescent and adult referrals by a retrospective file review of 13 consecutive adolescents and 56 consecutive adults treated in our ECT unit during a 5-year period. Results: There was a significant association between age group and reason for referral. Non-response to pharmacotherapy was a significantly more common reason among adults. Adolescents were mainly referred due to catatonia and suicidal behaviour. Conclusion: Our results support the need to study reasons for referral to ECT, beyond non-response to pharmacotherapy, especially in adolescent patients.

Libraries must attend the needs of their different users. Academics are usually a particular kind of users with specific needs. Universities are environments where scientific communication is essential and where electronic format of journals is becoming more and more frequently used. This way it becomes increasingly important to understand how academics from different scientific areas use the available electronic resources. The aim of this study is to better understand the existing differences among the users of electronic journals in Engineering and Social Sciences. The research undertaken was mainly focused on the study of the use of electronic journals by teachers/researchers from the Faculties of Engineering and of Arts from the University of Porto, Portugal. In this study an international survey was used in order to characterize the levels of use and access of electronic journals by these communities. The ways of seeking and using scientific information, namely in terms frequency of access, the numbe...

Attitudes of University Students Toward Cheating
|
COLLEGES HAVE been described as breeding grounds for low moral standards where cheating is rampant and examinations often degenerate into contests in which the slickest crook wins (1). If this is true, honor systems have little chance of success and educators must evaluate and improve their methods of teaching honesty. It is the purpose of this paper to report on an investigation of the at titudes of university students toward cheating. Since verbally stated at titudes are important determiners of behavior, it is believed that this study will add to existing information and increase our understanding of this phenomenon. The specific question for which answers were sought in the investiga tion are:

Responsabilidad social en la comunicación con la web
|
This presentation is a research report that explores new technologies, within them, the internet as a mediator device that becomes a facilitator for social representations. This enquiry is base on the interest for human rights and how they are represented in web pages and e mail communications by a university students group. Surveys, recorded internet sessions and interviews were the instruments that allowed explaining the way some human rights were evidenced in the participants’ actions. In the study a tendency to cultural rights was identified involving education, access to art and entertainment. On the other hand, a category evoking freedom emerged making sense of interactions and construction of social representations but it is also limited by those processes. Finally, a pedagogical reflection from the social responsibility approach came up from the findings.

The digital age and its implications for learning and teaching in the primary school.
|
The report provides a substantial but necessarily selective survey of research related to children’s lives in the digital age within and beyond school. It begins by drawing on studies of everyday uses of digital technologies, including those by children, to identify challenges and opportunities facing primary education. Next it explores how research is shaping possible responses to these challenges and opportunities. Arguing that technology use, in schools as elsewhere, is never neutral, the review considers research from five broad traditions that represent different perspectives and priorities. It discusses how schools might work across these traditions in developing curriculum and pedagogy and in their wider role in supporting children’s emotional, social and civic lives. It proposes that such considerations should be weighed in relation to broader debates about the purpose of schooling and about how schools relate to their wider social, political, economic and commercial contexts.

/ Through the technique of meta-analysis, this study investigates the scholarly articles appearing in peer-reviewed online and offline journals that address the topic of communication and development from 1998 to 2007 to determine publication trends in the field. The research was prompted by the sense that development was moving off the research agenda of most communication scholars. This seemed surprising in the era of globalization and it was decided to examine the literature for evidence. The study finds that published studies have moved away from mass communication and toward ICTs’ role in development, that they infrequently address development in the context of globalization and often continue to embrace a modernization paradigm despite its many criticisms. In addition, International Communication Gazette was found to be the only mainstream communication journal to include a significant number of articles on development communication.

Dropout rate of training cases: who and when.
|
Training cases define clinical immersion for candidates and are essential to their education, progression, and graduation. While dropouts from treatment are expected, repeated dropouts can be detrimental to a candidate's education and progression. In a study of the rate and timing of dropout in 145 cases at the Columbia University Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research, 40 percent of patients were found to have dropped out within the first twelve months of treatment, though converted cases were less likely to drop out than were new patients evaluated at intake. This high dropout rate raises many questions about the reasons for it and suggests that there are critical educational issues regarding supervision and/or regarding candidates' technique during the induction phase.

Abstract ::: Usage of streaming digital video of lectures in preclinical courses was measured by analysis of the data in the log file maintained on the web server. We observed that students use the video when it is available. They do not use it to replace classroom attendance but rather for review before examinations or when a class has been missed. Usage of video has not increased significantly for any course within the 18 month duration of this project.

Volatile Psychological Dynamics in Social Interactions Attitudes and Emotions React Asymmetrically to Interaction Shifts Between Agreement and Disagreement
|
Does agreement or disagreement alone strongly influence people’s thoughts and emotions, or does cognitive and affective reaction relate more to shifts in agreement and disagreement? The present study investigated how attitudes and emotions respond to the evolution of different patterns of agreement and disagreement in an interaction. Combining conventional methods with novel dynamic systems techniques, we found that people’s attitudes and emotional valence undergo significant change and become less stable when disagreement replaces agreement in an interaction. However, the same reaction does not occur when agreement replaces disagreement. Findings also reveal that the attitudes and emotions do not respond to disagreement alone, but react to the interaction transitioning from an exchange based on agreement to one defined by disagreement. These results provide insight into how attitudes and emotions evolve as social interactions undergo change and confirm key ideas from dynamic systems theories about social...

We are experiencing times of great triteness, specially from the point of view of some fundamental concepts for the exercise of communicational and educational practices in our time. The concept of virtual learning environments - AVA - is one of them. The article seeks to dysmistify the concept, illustrating its potentiality from the emergence of cyberspace, showing concrete possibilities of creation and AVA management using free of charge resources from the cyberspace itself. Furthermore, I attempt to draw the attention of educators over the quality of some AVA, performing a critical analysis of a course made available free of charge in Internet, in which I signal problems and triteness of concepts and practices referring toto the education, communication and technologies interface.

I have taken both Online and Campus classes. For me, campus classes were the best. Online classes usually require the student to be in a study group, which is fine, but I found it difficult to complete assignments because my group was always busy, and waited until the last minute to get our parts of the essays together. Also, If I had an important question about the assignment, I had to e-mail the instructor, and it could take up to 24 hours to get an answer, so It would put me behind on my work, and I would have to hurry to complete on time. If you really want to take online classes, ask lots of questions about response time, and how much importance is placed on study group participation.

Suicidal ligature strangulation using gymnastics bands
|
Suicidal ligature strangulation is a rare event. The most important issue to solve in the investigation is whether it is a case of homicide or suicide. The characteristics of suicidal ligature strangulation are summarized by Koops and Brinkmann with the emphasis on the nature of the ligature instrument(s). In this article, we present two cases of self-strangulation with an almost identical modus operandi using gymnastics bands. The autopsy findings and the nature of the ligature in these cases are depicted and in good accordance with the described typical observations in suicidal cases. The importance of a broad medico-legal investigation is demonstrated.

A classification of suicidal behaviour was derived by cluster analysis from descriptive data on parasuicide patients. The grouping was meaningful in terms of clinical interpretation and had both therapeutic and prognostic implications. The sample was broken down into three groups, identified as repeated, serious and non-serious attempts. The repeated attempters had the worst prognosis at 1-year follow-up. When the sample was classified into five groups according to seriousness of the attempts, the repeater and non-serious groups were retained, while the serious attempts were split into three subtypes, which differed on nosological characteristics, treatment disposal and outcome. An excessively high successful suicide rate was found in a small group of elderly attempters.

We prove that groups acting geometrically on delta-quasiconvex spaces contain no essential Baumslag-Solitar quotients as subgroups. This implies that they are translation discrete, meaning that the translation numbers of their nontorsion elements are bounded away from zero.

This study is the first attempt to empirically examine the determinants of suicides in the case of Turkey using the time-series data for the period 1974-2007. This research proposes that the suicides in Turkey are related to some economic and social factors and they exhibit a dynamic relationship amongst them. Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach to cointegration testing procedure is employed to obtain the short-run and long-run elasticities of suicides with respect to per capita real income, divorce rates, urbanization and liquidation. The empirical results reveal that the urbanization has the highest impact on suicides, which is followed by per capita real income and liquidation. The results also provide some important policy recommendations to reduce suicides.
