Abstract MOS Current-Mode Logic (MCML) is usually used for high-speed applications. However, almost all MCML circuits are realized with dual-rail scheme. The dual-rail logic circuits increase extra area overhead and the complexity of the layout place and route. Moreover, little standard cells of the dualrail logic circuits have been developed for place-and-route tools, such as Cadence Encounter...

The capacity for infants to form mental representations of hidden or occluded objects can be decomposed into two tasks: one process that identifies salient objects and a second complementary process that identifies salient locations. This functional decomposition is supported by the distinction between dorsal and ventral extrastriate visual processing in the primate visual system. This approach...

The amygdala plays a central role in evaluating the behavioral importance of sensory information. Anatomical subcortical pathways provide direct input to the amygdala from early sensory systems and may support an adaptively valuable rapid appraisal of salient information. However, the functional significance of these subcortical inputs remains controversial. We recorded magnetoencephalographic ...

After decades of research the notion that faces are special is still at the heart of heated debates. New techniques like brain imaging have advanced some of the arguments but empirical data from brain-damaged patients like paradoxical recognition effects have required more complex explanations aside from localisation of the face area in normal adults. In this paper we focus on configural face p...

Human beings seem to be resilient and have a great capacity to overcome adverse circumstances. One apparent variable that may predict people’s emotional and physical health after a trauma is their general level of psychological well-being (McMillen, Smith, & Fisher, 1997). The current study explores the role of subjective vitality and the perception of stress as mediators between general life s...

This paper presents a dual-objective facility programming model for a green supply chain network. The main objectives of the presented model are minimizing overall expenditure and negative environmental impacts of the supply chain. This study contributes to the existing literature by incorporating uncertainty in customer demand, suppliers, production, and casting capacity. An industrial case st...

This paper looks into the dual route model of fear conditioning using gammatone filterbank for auditory pre-processing, in order to extract contiguous frequency bands from auditory stimuli, as seen in auditory nerves. The model focuses on two routes i.e., the cortical pathway using the auditory cortex as a messenger between auditory thalamus and the amygdala & the sub-cortical pathway where, th...
