This study explored the effect of input vs. collaborative output tasks on Iranian EFL learners’ grammatical accuracy and their willingness to communicate (WTC). In so doing, the study utilized 3 input (i.e., textual enhancement, processing instruction, and discourse) and 3 collaborative output (i.e., dictogloss, reconstruction cloze task, and jigsaw) tasks and compared their effects on 5 Englis...

This study presents a sensor neural network inspired by mouse taste buds for input signal identification. The sensor neural network model consisted of two layers of spiking cells: 4 Type II and 2 Type III cells. The Type II cells were receptive cells, and the Type III cells were output cells. The sensor network model converted differences in the sensory input into the degree of synchronization ...

Solvability of the model matching problem for input/output switched asynchronous sequential machines is discussed in this paper. The control objective is to determine the existence condition and design algorithm for a corrective controller that can match the stable-state behavior of the closed-loop system to that of a reference model. Switching operations and correction procedures are incorpora...

A two-input two-output (TITO) current-mode universal biquad using only four dual-output operational transconductance amplifier (DO-OTAs) and two grounded capacitors is described. By appropriately connecting the input and output terminals, the proposed circuit can provide lowpass, bandpass, highpass, bandstop and allpass current responses. The filter also offers an independent electronic control...

A new concept, the Bit-Mixer is introduced. It is a function of fixed, possibly different size of input and output, which computes statistically uncorrelated output from correlated input values, and its behavior is altered by parameters, called keys. Several constructions are presented, with very fast, power efficient implementations in electronic hardware, having very little side channel leaka...

This study was designed to find which one of the three different presentations, i.e. input, input-output, and output-input, will be more effective in Iranian EFL learners' vocabulary acquisitions. To this end, first 54 out of 64 female students, aged from 19 to 23 years, with an average of 21, were selected out of starter-level EFL learners at the University of Tarbiat Moalem in Bandar Abbas, I...

In this work, the design of a novel low noise amplifier (LNA) based on 1μm gate-length InGaAs/InAlAs/InP pHEMT transistors is discussed. Designed for radio astronomy applications, this amplifier exploits a common drain configuration as an input stage and a common source inductive degeneration topology as an output stage. It exhibits a maximum gain of 30 dB within an input 1dB compression point ...

A new circuit topology realizing a first-order currentmode all-pass filter is proposed using two dual-output second generation current conveyor and two passive components. The circuit possesses low-input and high-output impedance, which makes it ideal for current-mode systems. The proposed circuit is verified through PSPICE simulation results. Keywords—active filter, all-pass filter, current-mo...
