A Unified Bank-Page-Status Table For Dual-Subchannel Memory Architectures In Dynamic Efficiency Mode, Yichih Huang, Aravind Matta, Anirban Majumder Apr 2026

A Unified Bank-Page-Status Table For Dual-Subchannel Memory Architectures In Dynamic Efficiency Mode, Yichih Huang, Aravind Matta, Anirban Majumder

Defensive Publications Series

Dynamic efficiency mode in dual-subchannel memory architectures allow a single memory controller to manage traffic for two subchannels.  This enables a second controller to be powered down to reduce power consumption.  Maintaining independent bank-page-status tables for each subchannel within a single memory controller, however, can increase complexity and power consumption.  To address this, a unified bank-page-status table is utilized to track the status of all ranks and banks across two subchannels.  A subchannel identifier field (or bit) is integrated into the table to identify whether an open bank is associated with a first subchannel or a second subchannel.  Command decoding …

Abstract

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a cost-effective, evidence-based approach for patients with cardiac conditions to improve quality of life and health outcomes. Despite the benefits, it remains a nationally underutilized service, and extensive research has been conducted to identify interventions that most effectively increase referrals and participation in CR programs. Two of the more successful interventions include strengthening provider recommendations and using a standardized referral system (Ades et al., 2022). This quality improvement project aimed to strengthen provider recommendations and increase the frequency of referrals to the existing CR program at a rural primary care clinic by 50%. To do …


Atp Architect - Development Of A Metabolism Boardgame, Selene J. Welch, Micah Burk, Brooklyn Gilchrist, Emma Haase, Timothy T. Jones Apr 2026

Atp Architect - Development Of A Metabolism Boardgame, Selene J. Welch, Micah Burk, Brooklyn Gilchrist, Emma Haase, Timothy T. Jones

SACAD: Scholarly Activities

Traditional metabolism instruction often leaves students struggling with pathway interconnectedness and metabolite flux. To foster systems thinking, we are developing an educational board game where students manipulate tokens to navigate physiological constraints and achieve target energy goals. Grounded in Design-Based Research (DBR), the game undergoes iterative refinement based on player feedback. The design utilizes constructivism by allowing students to "fail safely" and revise strategies in real-time, while leveraging embodied cognition to externalize abstract flux into the physical trading of resource tokens.

Alleviating Multilingual Learners’ Writing Anxiety Through The Creative Nonfiction Literacy Narrative And Ai Use, Thomas Maldonado Apr 2026

Alleviating Multilingual Learners’ Writing Anxiety Through The Creative Nonfiction Literacy Narrative And Ai Use, Thomas Maldonado

Rhetoric and Composition PhD papers

It is typical for First Year Composition (FYC) instructors to begin their courses with a literacy narrative assignment. There are a number of reasons for this. First, a literacy narrative allows students to write about themselves without worrying about diving into deep research to defend a position or to elaborate on an argument. Another reason, literacy narratives offer students the opportunity to reflect on their personal learning journey and write intimately about how they have developed as writers. In most cases, it is fairly easy for some native English speakers to accomplish this assignment. However, multilingual learners find the literacy …
