On-chip inductance effects can be used to improve the performance of high speed integrated circuits. Specifically, inductance improves the signal slew rate (the rise time), virtually eliminates short-circuit power consumption, and reduces the area of the active devices and repeaters inserted to optimize the performance of long interconnects. These positive effects suggest the development of des...

In this paper, we present a new solution to the problem of multi-camera tracking with non-overlapping fields of view. The identities of moving objects are maintained when they are traveling from one camera to another. Appearance information and spatio-temporal information are explored and combined in a maximum a posteriori (MAP) framework. In computing appearance probability, a two-layered hist...

this research explores the effects of three computer-mediated feedback modalities, that is, elicitation, recast, and meta-linguistics, on the learning of english participial, gerund, and infinitival phrases among iranian intermediate-level efl learners. the overriding focus of the present study was to investigate whether different types of feedback given through form-focused computer-human exch...

this study aimed at investigating the effect of the type of feedback and practice on the acquisition of parameter index. for this purpose, 8 groups (each 12 subjects) were formed: constant practice group with self–controlled feedback, constant practice group with yoked feedback (yoked group), blocked practice group with self–controlled feedback, blocked practice group with yoked feedback, rando...

Ovarian estrogen exerts both positive and negative feedback control over luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion during the ovulatory cycle. Estrogen receptor (ER) alpha but not ERbeta knockout mice lack estrogen feedback. Thus, estrogen feedback appears to be primarily mediated by ERalpha. However, it is now recognized that, in addition to binding to estrogen response elements (EREs) in DNA to alte...

Eyewitnesses’ retrospective reports of certainty, view, attention, and other judgments constitute central variables used by courts to assess the credibility of eyewitness identification evidence. Recently, important state Supreme Court decisions (e.g., New Jersey v. Henderson, 2011; Oregon v. Lawson, 2012) have relied on psychological research regarding the post-identification feedback effect t...

This article describes a novel teaching activity that allows students in diversity, leadership, and communication courses to observe the powerful effects of nonverbal communication. The nonverbal experiences female leaders may encounter as they rise through the ranks of organizations are simulated and consequences discussed. Two student volunteers give impromptu speeches acting as “leaders,” wh...
