Power Reduction Techniques For Memory Elements, Srikanth Katrue Dec 2007

Power Reduction Techniques For Memory Elements, Srikanth Katrue

Theses

High performance and computational capability in the current generation processors are made possible by small feature sizes and high device density. To maintain the current drive strength and control the dynamic power in these processors, simultaneous scaling down of supply and threshold voltages is performed. High device density and low threshold voltages result in an increase in the leakage current dissipation. Large on chip caches are integrated onto the current generation processors which are becoming a major contributor to total leakage power. In this work, a novel methodology is proposed to minimize the leakage power and dynamic power. The proposed …


Women Troubadours In Southern France, Catherine Christine Ganiere Dec 2007

Women Troubadours In Southern France, Catherine Christine Ganiere

Theses and Dissertations

In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries women troubadours in southern France called trobairitz participated in dialogue or debate poems called tensons with male troubadours. Of the nine existing tensons that include a male and a female voice, we will only analyze five tensons with the known identities of both the trobairitz and the troubadour that debate the subject of love, and we will include the following trobairitz tensons in this paper: Alamanda, Isabella, Garsenda, Lombarda and Maria de Ventadorn. We will discuss the thematic elements these five tensons share. Scholars such as Pierre Bec, Peter Dronke and Katharina Wilson note …

Publications and Research

In December, 2006, a group of 26 software developers from some of the most widely used life science programming toolkits and phylogenetic software projects converged on Durham, North Carolina, for a Phyloinformatics Hackathon, an intense five-day collaborative software coding event sponsored by the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent). The goal was to help researchers to integrate multiple phylogenetic software tools into automated workflows. Participants addressed deficiencies in interoperability between programs by implementing “glue code” and improving support for phylogenetic data exchange standards (particularly NEXUS) across the toolkits. The work was guided by use-cases compiled in advance by both developers and …


Transducer Dynamics, Egor Dolzhenko Dec 2007

Transducer Dynamics, Egor Dolzhenko

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Transducers are finite state automata with an output. In this thesis, we attempt to classify sequences that can be constructed by iteratively applying a transducer to a given word. We begin exploring this problem by considering sequences of words that can be produced by iterative application of a transducer to a given input word, i.e., identifying sequences of words of the form w, t(w), t²(w), . . . We call such sequences transducer recognizable. Also we introduce the notion of "recognition of a sequence in context", which captures the possibility of concatenating prefix and suffix words to each word in …


Settling For Limited Privacy: How Much Does It Help?, Anna M. Shubina Dec 2007

Settling For Limited Privacy: How Much Does It Help?, Anna M. Shubina

Dartmouth College Ph.D Dissertations

This thesis explores practical and theoretical aspects of several privacy-providing technologies, including tools for anonymous web-browsing, verifiable electronic voting schemes, and private information retrieval from databases. State-of-art privacy-providing schemes are frequently impractical for implementational reasons or for sheer information-theoretical reasons due to the amount of information that needs to be transmitted. We have been researching the question of whether relaxing the requirements on such schemes, in particular settling for imperfect but sufficient in real-world situations privacy, as opposed to perfect privacy, may be helpful in producing more practical or more efficient schemes. This thesis presents three results. The first result …

The Effect Of "Developmental Speech-Language Training Through Music" On Speech Production In Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders, Hayoung Audrey Lim Dec 2007

The Effect Of "Developmental Speech-Language Training Through Music" On Speech Production In Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders, Hayoung Audrey Lim

Open Access Dissertations

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders demonstrate deficits in speech and language, with the most outstanding speech impairments being in comprehension, semantics, prosody, and pragmatics. Perception and production of music and speech in children with ASD appear to follow the same principles of Gestalt pattern perceptual organization. In addition, common neuroanatomical structures and similar patterns of cortical activation mediate the perception and production of speech and music. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore how the perception of musical stimuli would impact the perception and production of speech and language in children with ASD. The study examined the effect …


A Framework For The Creation Of A Unified Electronic Medical Record Using Biometrics, Data Fusion And Belief Theory, Dwayne C. Leonard Dec 2007

A Framework For The Creation Of A Unified Electronic Medical Record Using Biometrics, Data Fusion And Belief Theory, Dwayne C. Leonard

Open Access Dissertations

The technology exists for the migration of healthcare data from its archaic paper-based system to an electronic one and once in digital form, to be transported anywhere in the world in a matter of seconds. The advent of universally accessible healthcare data benefits all participants, but one of the outstanding problems that must be addressed is how to uniquely identify and link a patient to his or her specific medical data. To date, a few solutions to this problem have been proposed that are limited in their effectiveness. We propose the use of biometric technology within our FIRD framework in …

Sovereign Wealth Funds: Singapore, United Arab Emirates, And Norway, Michael L. Bryant Dec 2007

Sovereign Wealth Funds: Singapore, United Arab Emirates, And Norway, Michael L. Bryant

International Studies Masters

The past decade has seen a rise in sovereign wealth funds. Many of the dealings of sovereign wealth funds remain shrouded in secrecy, leading to suspicions about their motives. This secrecy is at odds with standards applied in global financial markets where the large majority of players have very detailed and exhaustive disclosure requirements. Given that many sovereign wealth funds have reached a size where they have become potential market movers, there is a case for making them liable to the same requirements. This paper undertakes an examination of sovereign wealth funds. Specifically, the paper will examine the rise of …
