In this paper, we discuss a design technique to reduce the power dissipation of CML buffers for on-chip transmissionlines. CML buffers can operate in higher frequency than conventional static CMOS buffers. On the other hand, the power dissipation is larger than that of the static CMOS buffers. We reduce the power dissipation by using an impedance-unmatched driver. From the pole frequency analys...

Positive affect can help to dampen the impact of adverse life events, facilitating healthy cognitive and emotional functioning after stress. The present review highlights recent findings on stress buffering effects these pleasant feeling states, focusing studies utilizing acute chronic in daily life, manipulations lab, examinations affective adaptations during tasks involving difficult or risky...

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are operated with solutions containing various chemical species required for the growth of electrochemically active microorganisms including nutrients and vitamins, substrates, and chemical buffers. Many different buffers are used in laboratory media, but the effects of these buffers and their inherent electrolyte conductivities have not been examined relative to cur...
