Ee-Acml: Energy-Efficient Adiabatic Cmos/Mtj Logic For Cpa-Resistant Iot Devices, Zachary Kahleifeh, Himanshu Thapliyal

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

Internet of Things (IoT) devices have strict energy constraints as they often operate on a battery supply. The cryptographic operations within IoT devices consume substantial energy and are vulnerable to a class of hardware attacks known as side-channel attacks. To reduce the energy consumption and defend against side-channel attacks, we propose combining adiabatic logic and Magnetic Tunnel Junctions to form our novel Energy Efficient-Adiabatic CMOS/MTJ Logic (EE-ACML). EE-ACML is shown to be both low energy and secure when compared to existing CMOS/MTJ architectures. EE-ACML reduces dynamic energy consumption with adiabatic logic, while MTJs reduce the leakage power of a circuit. …

Ray, For Complete List Of Authors, See Publisher's Website.

College of Natural and Applied Sciences

The hydrologic sciences and water resources management have long depended on a combination of in situ measurements and remotely sensed data for research and regulatory purposes. In situ measurements are constrained in their spatial distribution by both logistics and costs. Satellite- and manned aircraft-based remote sensing provide spatially broad data, but often of a coarse resolution. Furthermore, all these data collection methods are often limited in their ability to respond to specific short-term events when the data and imagery could inform real-time assessment and decision-making, especially during and immediately after natural disasters. Researchers and regulators are increasingly using unmanned aerial …

The Lived Professional Experiences And Potential Impact Of Generation Z Registered Nurses, Sarah E. Abalos

Dissertations

The profession of nursing is evolving as a result of the changes in the characteristics of practicing nurses. There are currently five generations of nurses in practice: Silent Generation, Baby Boomer, Generation X, Generation Y, and Generation Z. Each generation of nurses possess unique characteristics as a result of the time frame in which they were born and matured, and their differing worldviews are influencing how they view and practice nursing. Although there is a significant amount of research documenting how the different generations of nurses have influenced the profession, Generation Z has yet to be studied over time because …

The Horror Of History: Medieval And Early Modern Christianity And The Use Of Narratological Persecution, William Cole Younger

Student Theses and Dissertations

The history of emotion has given a bit of attention to the role that fear plays as a historical motive. Yet, what fear is or how it may be used when examining primary sources which possess fictitious tales has sorely been neglected. In order to address this, this thesis argues that historians need to employ philosophical concepts of horror in order to truly grasp the unique qualities that emerge from these tales. This thesis provides a historical framework for these philosophical understandings of horror by examining the medieval and early modern mentalities which served as a framework for the formalization …

Using Deep Learning To Predict The Path Of A Shuttlecock In Badminton, Sachleen Singh

Student Theses and Dissertations

With this thesis we intend to predict the movement of the shuttlecock given ten frames of a video for the each of the next ten frames. We also present a new regression model for the prediction of the frames called PIFR [Present Imputation and Future Regression] which consists of two models prepared for the same. Both the models try to predict the “future” position of the shuttlecock, the players and their rackets. There are two parts of the prediction network: An object detection stage based YOLO and the regression model. [40]

Plant Based Biological Treatments For Both Bacterial And Fungal Pathogens In Heirloom Tomatoes, Kassandra Riley

Student Theses and Dissertations

Tomatoes face disease in many forms; bacterial, fungal, and viral. There are only a few options for small growers to prevent or treat these diseases. The use of naturally occurring plant essential oils has the potential to be both accessible and a marketing benefit. Twelve plant oils (orange, peppermint, eucalyptus, ginger, thyme, garlic, basil, tea tree, rosemary, oregano, cinnamon, and clove) were screened against two tomato fungal pathogens, Fusarium oxysporum and Phytophthora infestans, as well as the bacterial pathogen, Xanthamonas campestris v. vesicatoria. Thyme, garlic, oregano, and cinnamon all showed potential for inhibiting pathogen growth. After determination of minimum inhibition …

The realities and limitations of video game development and the video game market in the Philippines is also discussed to show how the dominance of Western video game industry, in terms of the dominance of outsource work …

Understanding Customer-Vendor Power Relations As A Driver To A Successful Implementation Of Enterprise Resource Planning In Tanzania Manufacturing Industry, Victor G. Wilson, Tumsifu Elly, Ulingeta O.L. Mbamba

Business Management Review

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems contribute much to supporting manufacturing operations. Upon implementation, the manufacturing firms rely on the interactions with ERP system vendors to support and maintain this complex system. This study assesses the influence of customer-vendor power relations that help in strengthening the long-term relationship while resolving conflict of interest based on ERP fit. The study employs the power transition framework (PTF) and strategic alignment model (SAM) to explain the key driving factors of ERP implementation success. To this end, this paper develops and verifies a model in which customer-vendor power relations and ERP fit serve as the …

Toward A More Strategic National Stockpile, Troy Rule

Texas A&M Law Review

The COVID–19 pandemic exposed major deficiencies in the United States’ approach to stockpiling for emergencies. States, cities, and hospitals across the country had meager inventories of critical medical items on hand when the pandemic first reached U.S. soil, and the federal government’s Strategic National Stockpile proved far too small to serve the country’s needs in the first several months of the crisis. As nationwide shortages spread, many state governments were compelled to bid against each other to procure scarce medical supplies—a distribution approach that disadvantaged low-income and minority communities and left countless healthcare professionals and staff ill-equipped to protect themselves …
