Asynchronous quasi-delay-insensitive (QDI) NoCs have several advantages over their clocked counterparts. Virtual channel (VC) is the most utilized flow control method in asynchronous routers but spatial division multiplexing (SDM) achieves better throughput performance for best effort traffic than VC. A novel asynchronous SDM router architecture is presented. Area and latency models are provide...

OBJECTIVE To assess US physicians' attitudes towards using shared decision-making (SDM) to achieve cost containment. DESIGN Cross-sectional mailed survey. SETTING US medical practice. PARTICIPANTS 3897 physicians were randomly selected from the AMA Physician Masterfile. Of these, 2556 completed the survey. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Level of enthusiasm for "Promoting better conversations wit...

Shared decision making (SDM) is being increasingly challenged for promoting an innovative role model while adhering to an archaic approach to patient-clinician communication, both in clinical practice and the research field. Too often, SDM has been studied at the individual level, which ignores the interpersonal system between patients and physicians. We aimed to encourage debate by reflecting ...

vs. 62%) and have rheumatoid arthritis (62% vs. 43%), 1 or 2 comorbidities (70% vs. 42%), poorer health status (mean GSRH score, 46 vs 55), on long-term disability (13% vs. 2%), and discussed more biologic treatment options (mean number, 3 vs 2) than non-SDM respondents. Non-SDM respondents were more likely to have psoriasis (25% vs. 8%) and no comorbidities (48% vs. 23%) than SDM respondents (...

We investigate the problem of verifying location claims of mobile devices, and propose a new property called simultaneous distance modification (SDM). In localization protocols satisfying the SDM property, a malicious device can lie about its distance from the verifiers, but all distances can only be altered by the same amount. We demonstrate that the SDM property guarantees secure verification...

In this work, I present a review on Sparse Distributed Memory for Small Cues (SDMSCue), a variant of Sparse Distributed Memory (SDM) that is capable of handling small cues. I then conduct and show some cognitive experiments on SDMSCue to test its cognitive soundness compared to SDM. Small cues refer to input cues that are presented to memory for reading associations; but have many missing parts...

Studies investigating preferences for shared decision making (SDM) have focused on associations with sociodemographic variables, with few investigations exploring patient factors. We aimed to investigate the relationship between patient activation and preferences for SDM in 6 common medical decisions among a nationally representative cross-sectional survey of American adults. Adults older than ...

In this work, we present Sparse Distributed Memory for Small Cues (SDMSCue), a new variant of Sparse Distributed Memory (SDM) that is capable of handling small cues. SDM is a content-addressable memory technique that relies on similar memory items tending to be clustered together in the same region or subspace of the semantic space. SDM has been used before as associative memory or control stru...
