All rights reserved. ABSTRACT Timing errors are an important concern in nanometer CMOS technologies. A promising way to overcome the timing errors is the development of error detection and correction techniques in registers. Normally timing failures occur in high complexity and high frequency integrated circuits. The reason behind this timing failures are test escapes, environmental conditions, operating conditions and process variations. A local error detection and correction technique is done in this work. It is based on a new bit flipping flip flop. Whenever a timing error is detected, it is corrected by complementing the output of the corresponding flip flop. The addition of a multiplexer and a NOT gate replaces the need of an extra latch and an EX-OR gate in the modified EDC technique.

  • Western Ghats), Idukki District, Kerala, India
    International Journal of Entomology Research International Journal of Entomology Research ISSN: 2455-4758 Impact Factor: RJIF 5.24 www.entomologyjournals.com Volume 3; Issue 2; March 2018; Page No. 114-120 The moths (Lepidoptera: Heterocera) of vagamon hills (Western Ghats), Idukki district, Kerala, India Pratheesh Mathew, Sekar Anand, Kuppusamy Sivasankaran, Savarimuthu Ignacimuthu* Entomology Research Institute, Loyola College, University of Madras, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India Abstract The present study was conducted at Vagamon hill station to evaluate the biodiversity of moths. During the present study, a total of 675 moth specimens were collected from the study area which represented 112 species from 16 families and eight super families. Though much of the species has been reported earlier from other parts of India, 15 species were first records for the state of Kerala. The highest species richness was shown by the family Erebidae and the least by the families Lasiocampidae, Uraniidae, Notodontidae, Pyralidae, Yponomeutidae, Zygaenidae and Hepialidae with one species each. The results of this preliminary study are promising; it sheds light on the unknown biodiversity of Vagamon hills which needs to be strengthened through comprehensive future surveys. Keywords: fauna, lepidoptera, biodiversity, vagamon, Western Ghats, Kerala 1. Introduction Ghats stretches from 8° N to 22° N. Due to increasing Arthropods are considered as the most successful animal anthropogenic activities the montane grasslands and adjacent group which consists of more than two-third of all animal forests face several threats (Pramod et al. 1997) [20].
