Increasing leakage energy consumption is an important problem for SOC-based platforms as such platforms rely on large on-chip SRAMs. While most of the previous techniques focus on hardware based leakage optimization, in this paper, we present an application access pattern oriented strategy for reducing instruction cache leakage energy. This strategy keeps track of the dynamic transitions betwee...

PURPOSE This article describes a study on the scaffolding of learning to read in a primary-level, continuous-progress, inclusion classroom that stressed a critical thinking curriculum and employed a collaborative teaching model. Two emergent reading groups were the focus of study-one group that was taught by a general educator and the other by a special educator. The primary purposes were to di...

This experiment investigated the effects of strategy self-verbalization on children's self-efficacy and listening comprehension. Children with language deficiencies in grades two through four received instruction in listening comprehension. One-half of the children in each grade verbalized explicit strategies prior to applying them to questions. Strategy self-verbalization led to higher self-ef...
