Tenino was an adult female wolf, born in the wild and placed into captivity at 1 year of age because of her participation in livestock depredation. Her method of capture, well documented, involved being darted twice by helicopter and translocated twice. This method of capture would have exposed her to the 2 factors that are important in the etiology of posttraumatic stress disorder in humans: u...

This paper describes a 256-word 32-bit 4-read, 4-write ported register file for 6-GHz operation in 1.2-V 130-nm technology. The local bitline uses a pseudostatic technique for aggressive bitline active leakage reduction/tolerance to enable 16 bitcells/bitline, lowusage, and 50% keeper downsizing. Gate–source underdrive of cc on read-select transistors is established without additional supply/bi...

A Triple-modular redundancy (TMR) system will have a failure if Single Event Transient (SET) faults affect the voter. In this paper, we propose a full SET-tolerance dual-modular majority voter (DMV) circuit for all internal nodes. The DMV consisting of two simplex-modular voters, two inverters, a C-element inverter and a weak keeper is implemented in CMOS 40 nm technology. A novel XOR gate and ...

This study presents the design of low power 9T SRAM cell using dynamic domino logic to achieve low power dissipation. The internal structure of the proposed 9T SRAM has cross coupled dynamic inverters which periodically updates the internal node voltage levels which, increase the read and write stability of the circuit. The SRAM design also has charge keeper transistor which resolves the proble...

The relationship between the activity of painting and performance of stereotyped and other stress-related behaviour was investigated in four captive Asian elephants at Melbourne Zoo, Australia. The activity involved the elephant being instructed to paint on a canvas by its keeper in front of an audience. Painting by elephants in zoos is commonly believed to be a form of enrichment, but this ass...

In this paper, a low leakage multi Vth level shifter is designed for robust voltage shifting from sub threshold to above threshold domain using MTCMOS technique and sleepy keeper. Multi Threshold CMOS is an effective circuit level technique that improves the performance and design by utilizing both low and high threshold voltage transistors. Power dissipation has become an overriding concern fo...

ii Dedication I dedicate this effort to my husband, Ross Meyer, whom and with whom I have been studying for thirteen years. Please forgive the poor planning which forced me to study 700-year-old pronouns on our honeymoon. I'm blessed to have found a man who knows me, loves me as Christ loves the Church, values my opinions, and honors my passions— even the literary and linguistic ones. You're a ...

As student learning outcomes and retention receive more attention in higher education, failure rates in principles of accounting courses, gate-keeper courses for business majors, are coming under scrutiny. This study shows promising results from use of a learning innovation, ultra-short online videos, for addressing three common reasons for poor performance: intimidating class environments, low...

Twitter is widely used in a range of different contexts, ranging from informal social communications and marketing purposes through to supporting various professional activities in teaching and learning and research. The growth in Twitter use has led to a recognition of the need to ensure that Twitter posts ('tweets') can be accessed and reused by a variety of third party applications. This pap...
