Although intermediates resistance states are common in resistance random access memory (RRAM), two-way switching among them has not been demonstrated. Using a nanometallic bipolar RRAM, we have illustrated a general scheme for writing/rewriting multi-bit memory using voltage pulses. Stability conditions for accessing intermediate states have also been determined in terms of a state distribution...

We analyze the steady-state transmission of high-momentum (high-k) electromagnetic waves through metal-semiconductor multilayer systems with loss and gain in the near-infrared (NIR). Using a semiclassical optical gain model in conjunction with the scattering matrix method (SMM), we study indium gallium arsenide phosphide (InGaAsP) quantum wells as the active semiconductor, in combination with t...

The species diversity and functional structural complexity associated with agroforestry systems provides natural pest control in the form of suppression levels by enemies without human intervention (Karp et al., 2013; Vandermeer & Perfecto, 2010). This is apparent, for example, when comparing to production a single or few annual crops open fields (Pumariño 2015; Rosati 2021). As such, has poten...

The use of computer-based tools in education is booming, and governments are pouring large amounts of funding into providing these tools for teachers, while the evidence for their educational effectiveness is still being gathered. This study compared the effectiveness of scientific visualizations computerbased animations and simulations with teacher's 'normal' teaching without visualizations, i...

Stressful life events (SLEs) are frequently associated with a range of deleterious mental and physical health outcomes. However, some individuals exhibit resilience, defined as maintained or even improved health in the wake of SLEs. How and why might this be the case? Given that SLEs give rise to negative emotions, which in turn contribute to mental and physical illness, promising answers to qu...

The neural correlates of semantic plausibility during sentence comprehension were investigated in high and low working memory groups using event-related fMRI. Sentences rated as plausible, implausible, or anomalous were presented followed by a comprehension question. Comprehension was more difficult for sentences with lower plausibility in behavioral measures, and increased BOLD signal was foun...

Judgments of linguistic unacceptability may theoretically arise from either grammatical deviance or significant processing difficulty. Acceptability data are thus naturally ambiguous in theories that explicitly distinguish formal and functional constraints. Here, we consider this source ambiguity problem in the context of Superiority effects: the dispreference for ordering a wh-phrase in front ...
