Two floating inductance (FI) circuits are presented which employ a canonical number of passive components (namely, only two resistors and a capacitor) as well as canonical number of active elements (only two CFOAs) and realize single-resistance-tunable inductance value, without requiring any component-matching or cancellation constraints. The workability of the proposed circuits and their appli...

The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) requires that schools make “adequate yearly progress” (AYP) towards the goal of having 100 percent of their students become proficient by year 2013-14.
