  • Spanish Certificate Info and Sign up Form
    International Certificate in Cultural Competency and Communication in Spanish One of the goals of Vision 2020 is to “diversify and globalize the A&M community”. Two key indicators in Texas A&M’s (TAMU) Quality Enhancement Plan are specific to creating excellence in diversity of student learning and in internationalization. These two goals are stated as follows: • Students graduating from Texas A&M University should be able to function successfully in complex, diverse, social, economic, and political contexts. • Students graduating from Texas A&M University will be able to function effectively in their chosen career fields in an international setting. Specifically, students who complete the BIMS International Certificate will: 1. Be functionally bilingual and employ attained language skills in both social and formal settings 2. Be able to perform linguistically and in a culturally sensitive manner within the medial and/or agricultural environment 3. Gain experiential knowledge abroad, expanding their cultural sensitivities and functionality in a foreign environment. Students should be able to compare and contrast Latin American and Spanish cultural ideas with those of the Anglo population within the United States. Students should recognize cultural differences, using language and social skills to interact effectively within a foreign environment. The certificate has been generated with the student’s required TAMU core curriculum in mind. Many students may wish to discuss a minor in language, political science, sociology, etc. based upon the courses taken to satisfy the certificate requirements. To discuss a minor, please speak with your academic advisor as well as the college/department in which you wish to minor.

Journal of Engineering Research and Applications www.ijera.com ISSN : 2248-9622, Vol. 4, Issue 7( Version 1), July 2014, pp.30-34 RESEARCH ARTICLE OPEN ACCESS Design & Performance Analysis of DG-MOSFET for Reduction of Short Channel Effect over Bulk MOSFET at 20nm Ankita Wagadre*, Shashank Mane** *(Research scholar, Department of Electronics & Communication, SBITM, Betul-460001) ** (Assistant Professor, Department of Electronics & Communication, SBITM, Betul-460001) ABSTRACT An aggressive scaling of conventional MOSFETs channel length reduces below 100nm and gate oxide thickness below 3nm to improved performance and packaging density. Due to this scaling short channel effect (SCEs) like threshold voltage, Subthreshold slope, ON current and OFF current plays a major role in determining the performance of scaled devices. The double gate (DG) MOSFETS are electro-statically superior to a single gate (SG) MOSFET and allows for additional gate length scaling. Simulation work on both devices has been carried out and presented in paper. The comparative study had been carried out for threshold voltage (VT), Subthreshold slope (Sub VT), ION and IOFF Current. It is observed that DG MOSFET provide good control on leakage current over conventional Bulk (Single Gate) MOSFET. The VT (Threshold Voltage) is 2.7 times greater than & ION of DG MOSFET is 2.2 times smaller than the conventional Bulk (Single Gate) MOSFET. Keywords - DG MOSFET (Double Gate Metal oxide Field Effect Transistor), Short Channel Effect (SCE), Bulk (Single Gate) MOSFET.

  • Neufuzz: Efficient Fuzzing with Deep Neural Network
    Received January 15, 2019, accepted February 6, 2019, date of current version April 2, 2019. Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/ACCESS.2019.2903291 NeuFuzz: Efficient Fuzzing With Deep Neural Network YUNCHAO WANG , ZEHUI WU, QIANG WEI, AND QINGXIAN WANG China National Digital Switching System Engineering and Technological Research Center, Zhengzhou 450000, China Corresponding author: Qiang Wei ([email protected]) This work was supported by National Key R&D Program of China under Grant 2017YFB0802901. ABSTRACT Coverage-guided graybox fuzzing is one of the most popular and effective techniques for discovering vulnerabilities due to its nature of high speed and scalability. However, the existing techniques generally focus on code coverage but not on vulnerable code. These techniques aim to cover as many paths as possible rather than to explore paths that are more likely to be vulnerable. When selecting the seeds to test, the existing fuzzers usually treat all seed inputs equally, ignoring the fact that paths exercised by different seed inputs are not equally vulnerable. This results in wasting time testing uninteresting paths rather than vulnerable paths, thus reducing the efficiency of vulnerability detection. In this paper, we present a solution, NeuFuzz, using the deep neural network to guide intelligent seed selection during graybox fuzzing to alleviate the aforementioned limitation. In particular, the deep neural network is used to learn the hidden vulnerability pattern from a large number of vulnerable and clean program paths to train a prediction model to classify whether paths are vulnerable. The fuzzer then prioritizes seed inputs that are capable of covering the likely to be vulnerable paths and assigns more mutation energy (i.e., the number of inputs to be generated) to these seeds.

Visual Art Elements and Analysis Questions 10. Television/Film/Video Analysis Questions 11. Data Visualization Analysis Questions Overview Supporting multimodal literacy is an important aspect of education today as it encourages students to understand the ways media shapes their world. Most, if not all texts today, can be considered “multimodal texts,” as they combine modes such as visuals, audio, and alphabetic or linguistic text. While it can be useful to create a distinction between multimodal texts and texts that are primarily linguistic in order to clarify assignment goals, all texts can truly be considered multimodal. Even an academic paper has multimodal elements such as font choice, double- spacing, margins, etc. By teaching students multimodal analysis, you provide them access to a more complex way to read all the texts they encounter. In their media-saturated lives, students engage with a large number of multimodal texts per day that contain a variety of modes that work together to create subtle methods of persuasion and often implicitly reinforce cultural stereotypes. Because students are in the habit of passively viewing these texts, it’s important to model strategies that will help them think critically about the messages directed at them through media. However, while students have some experience analyzing traditional alphabetic texts, they often have difficulty transferring what they know about analyzing these texts to analyzing multimodal texts.
