In this paper, a new single-port five-transistor (5T) Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) cell with integrated read/write assist is proposed. Amongst the assist circuitry, a voltage control circuit is coupled to the sources corresponding to driver transistors of each row memory cells. This configuration is aimed to control the source voltages of driver transistors under different operating modes...

CONTEXT The University of Adelaide and the University of South Australia established the Spencer Gulf Rural Health School (SGRHS) as a joint venture to facilitate rural health professional education and research. Annually a cohort of medical students from the University of Adelaide volunteer and are placed in various SGRHS 'learning centres' throughout rural South Australia for the 5th year of ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES For reduced port surgery in pediatric patients, the initial umbilical incision plays an important role in both functional ability and cosmetic impact. Larger umbilical incisions enable better manipulation of forceps, extraction of larger surgical specimens, and easier exteriorization of the intestine for anastomosis. We have pursued an incision of the small pediatric u...

The Exergetic Port-Hamiltonian Systems modeling language combines a graphical syntax inspired by bond graphs with port-Hamiltonian semantics akin to the GENERIC formalism. enables modular and hierarchical specification of composition pattern lumped distributed-parameter models. reflects first second law thermodynamics as structural properties. Interconnected hierarchically defined models multip...

the area of musa bay (khor musa) on which two vital and important ports of imam khomeini (port shapour) and mahshar have taken place on its shore is located geographically at the far northeast of the persian gulf, south of khuzestan province. early in the world war ii, despite iran’s neutral declaration, port shapour was blitzed and occupied by british navy on august 24, 1941. iran's resis...

We developed a flexible port for NOTES which allows the use of conventional forceps for laparoscope-assisted surgery without change. The port is not affected by the location of the through hole in the gastrointestinal tract or vagina which elicits a problem in conventional NOTES, and its length can be adjusted during surgery by cutting the port itself. The port is made of polymer resin with a l...

The use of multi-antenna systems with multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology will play a key role in providing high spectrum efficiency for next generation mobile communication systems. This thesis offers valuable insights on the design of compact multi-antennas for efficient MIMO communications. In the course of the thesis work, several novel six-port antenna designs have been propos...
