The performance of high-speed VLSI circuits is increasingly limited by interconnect coupling noise. In this paper we present a closed-form crosstalk noise model with accuracy comparable to that of SPICE for an arbitrary ramp input. We also develop a simplified delay model for estimating delays on coupled RC lines considering input slew times for both aggressor and victim lines. We then apply ou...

Two studies were conducted to investigate the effects of a victim's physical salience and perceivers' arousal on perceptions of a verbally aggressive interaction. Based upon evidence that there is a tendency to attribute causality to salient stimulus persons and to form more evaluatively extreme impressions of such persons, it was predicted that an aggressor's behavior would be attributed more ...

This paper studies the impact of personally knowing a victim on social preferences for the welfare of other victims of the same misfortune. We begin with the analysis of a survey of volunteers, which shows that they tend to volunteer for organizations that target misfortunes previously suffered by their friends and relatives. In order to control for informational asymmetries, among other potent...

Consequently fired for poor work performance and poor attendance.

Several schemes have been proposed that incorporate an auxiliary buffer to improve the performance of a given size cache. Victim caching, aims to reduce the impact of conflict misses in direct-mapped caches. Victim offers competitive performance benefits, but requires a costly data path for swaps and saves between the main cache and the added buffer. Several multilateral schemes (e.g. NTS, PCS)...
