We present a low-power bandgap reference (BGR), functional from sub-1 V to 5 V supply voltage with either a low dropout (LDO) regulator or source follower (SF) output stage, denoted as the LDO or SF mode, in a 0.5m standard digital CMOS process with 0.6 V and 0.7 V at 27 C. Both modes operate at sub-1 V under zero load with a power consumption of around 26 W. At 1 V (1.1 V) supply, the LDO (SF)...

Do Tertiary Dropout Students Really Not Succeed in European Labour Markets? Tertiary education has been expanding hugely over the last decades, so that tertiary dropout students will constitute a growing distinctive group in future labour markets. University dropout is regularly discussed as a ‘negative’ indicator in terms of reinforcing socio-economic inequalities and being a sign of universit...

The aim was to investigate predictors of treatment dropout among 182 children (aged 8-15 years) participating in an effectiveness trial of manual-based 10-session individual and group cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) for anxiety disorders in community clinics. The dropout rate was 14.4%, with no significant difference between the two treatment conditions. We examined predictors for overall drop...

BACKGROUND Rates of treatment dropout in outpatient Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in the community can be as high as 24 % to 58 %, making dropout a great concern. The primary purpose of this article was to examine predictors of dropout from DBT in a community mental health setting. METHODS Participants were 56 consumers with borderline personality disorder (BPD) who were psychiatrically ...

Dropout has been witnessed with great success in training deep neural networks by independently zeroing out the outputs of neurons at random. It has also received a surge of interest for shallow learning, e.g., logistic regression. However, the independent sampling for dropout could be suboptimal for the sake of convergence. In this paper, we propose to use multinomial sampling for dropout, i.e...

This paper describes the Designing of Low Power LOW DROP-OUT (LDO) Voltage Regulator using Bulk Modulation technique. Low-Drop-Out (LDO) voltage regulators are commonly used in electronic systems particularly in portable or low-power applications. Their main function is to provide a stable supply voltage by minimizing the ripples and noises caused by imperfect power sources and/or variable load...

Dropout is one of the key techniques to prevent the learning from overfitting. It is explained that dropout works as a kind of modified L2 regularization. Here, we shed light on the dropout from Bayesian standpoint. Bayesian interpretation enables us to optimize the dropout rate, which is beneficial for learning of weight parameters and prediction after learning. The experiment result also enco...

In this paper, a low-voltage low-dropout analog regulator (ALDO) based on native n-channel MOS transistor is proposed. Application of the with threshold voltage close to zero allows elimination charge pump in regulators using pass element common drain configuration. Such configuration simplification design and improved performance, supply voltages below 1 V, compared commonly used p-channel tra...
