Lukasiewicz logic arrays (LLAs) are analog VLSI circuits structured as trees of continuous-valued implications. First described in 1990, LLAs are now nding uses as applicationspeci c array processors for image processing, fuzzy inference, and robotic control. Yet an early question persists: Why do LLAs work? Intuitively, a small error should build up through successive implications of an arbitr...

The use of online course research, while limited, is inconclusive in determining expected student performance in online versus a traditional lecture format. introductory microeconomics classes, analyzing learning differences between those in online and traditional lecture classes. In addition to comparing overall performances, the researchers tested further to determine if gender, ethnicity, ma...

In previous studies of homework in core academic subjects, positive student attitudes toward homework were linked to higher achievement, whereas time spent on homework showed an inconsistent relationship with achievement.

The frequency-response of pressure autoregulation is not well delineated; therefore, the optimal frequency of arterial blood pressure (ABP) modulation for measuring autoregulation is unknown. We hypothesized that cerebrovascular autoregulation is band-limited and delineated by a cutoff frequency for which ABP variations induce cerebrovascular reactivity. Neonatal swine (n = 8) were anesthetized...
