Digital asynchronous designs are gradually attaining attractions of designers due to their potential for high-speed, low-power and no clock skews, however, their implementation is not an easy task. Asynchronous systems exist in full custom domain like ASIC, however, rare attempts were made for their implementation on reconfigurable test bench e.g. FPGAs platforms. This is mainly due to the difficulty of producing coordination between processing of data and the respective control signals. Processing of data being considerably slow compared with the speed of control signals, especially if the later are generated independent of processing. Attempts were made to synchronize them by inserting predefined delay pads in the control path which not only slow down the systems but run those on fixed delays, an approach close to the synchronous processing. Further, the approach was not much successful in improving the efficiency of the systems because accurate modeling of the precise needed delay, itself being a cumbersome job, is impractical at pre-synthesis stage as the routing tools may generate a different ratio between control and data paths thus altering the needed delays. On the other hand, in ASIC, the designers can implement any needed digital as well as analog circuits, e.g., the need was generation of a control signal at completion of execution. In ASIC, the completion detection circuit can be implemented by sensing the amount of current flowing in a circuit because of transitions, which when cease the current drops to almost zero. Although current sensing has its own implications, neither such circuits are available nor could be built in FPGAs, and the designers have to use only the provided resources. Moreover, conventional vii FPGAs and their programming tools are made for synchronous systems and provide a little facilitation towards asynchronous designs implementation. This thesis presents, a logic-based execution completion detection circuit that detects the completion of execution by processing blocks to store only the valid results. This circuit eliminates the need of estimation of delays and placing delay pads in control path. It also permits the designers the use of auto place-and-route, mapping and auto-optimizing tools for the implementation of asynchronous designs on conventional FPGAs. The completion detection circuitry not only caters to the logic and interconnect delays dynamically but also generates the control signals as sequence controller for smooth functionality of the processor catering to the synchronization problem. It also acts as inter-stage latch in a micropipeline based asynchronous systems. Based on the proposed concepts, a delay-adaptive micropipeline model is presented that can contain any sequential or combinational circuit. The micropipeline based on the proposed concepts was implemented as RISC processor. It was observed that the RISC processor exhibited smooth functionality and over 10% improvement on power-delay product in comparison to its synchronous counterpart. The same concepts also demonstrated their ability to make technology-independent asynchronous systems. This thesis is an attempt to provide solutions to hindrances towards the design and implementation of asynchronous systems on reconfigurable platforms that will open up new doors of research in this field.

LITERACY EDUCATION URGENCY FOR CENTENNIAL GENERATION IN INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION 4.0

When talking about children’s abilities, they indeed cannot be separated from their educational or training background. Moreover, he has entered the working age that must have productivity in his work, especially at this time, where the era has entered the industrial revolution 4.0. The industrial revolution 4.0 is marked by the development of digitalization in various lines of life. On the one hand, the industrial revolution 4.0 had many positive impacts. However, on the other hand, as the McKinsey Global Institute states that as a result of the 4.0 industrial revolution in the next five years, there will be 52.6 million jobs that will decline and even disappear. This certainly will be a challenge for the centennial generation (children born from 1996-2011) at this time, which they have to survive with the existing conditions and situations. This paper will discuss several factors that describe and address issues such as what is meant by the centennial generation, literacy, and the urgency of literacy education for the centennial generation in the digital age. According to authors, thi is essential to discuss, given the increasingly rapid development and technological progress resulting in the loss of much work.

Genetic Basis of Water Stress Tolerance in Gossypium Hirsutum L.

The potential for breeding Gossypium hirsutum L. for water stress tolerance was investigated in the present studies. For this purpose, a sample of 50 cotton cultivars was screened out in greenhouse at 20% field capacity. Water stress was applied for four weeks. The performance of 50 cultivars was compared using data on shoot and root lengths, relative water content, excised leaf water loss and relative cell injury in absolute terms, calculating drought susceptibility indices (DSI) and through biplot analysis. Cultivars showing low DSI were selected as water stress tolerant, and cultivars showing highest DSI were identified as susceptible to water stress. Biplot analysis of germplasm under study revealed genetic divergence for water stress tolerance. On the basis of these three measures, CIM-496, 149F, DPL-26, BOU-1724 and B-557 were found tolerant to moisture stress, whilst FH-1000, NF-801-2-37, MNH-129 and H-499 exhibited susceptibility to water stress. The remaining cultivars revealed variable responses to water stress when these three measures were studied. Many researchers had emphasized on root length and used it as reliable indicator of drought tolerance. Therefore data on root length in the present plant material under moistures deficit conditions was used to calculate broad sense heritability (40%), which seemed to be encouraging for plant breeders. Molecular characterization of selected cotton cultivars was done using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Analysis of molecular data did not reveal significant differences in genome, indicating relatedness among the brief sample of germplasm. Results of screening revealed that working variability among germplasm was present and controlled by significant genetic component, which may be exploited through hybridization. Therefore, F1 crosses were developed in the field keeping stress tolerant cultivars as lines and susceptible as testers using line × tester technique. Genetic material was field-planted and 50% moisture stress was applied to examine responses measuring plant height, seed cotton yield, number of bolls, boll weight, lint percentage and fibre traits. The analysis of F1 and parental data revealed the presence of both additive and non additive genes controlling variation under both the water regimes (normal and 50% stress). However, non additive genetic effects were more pronounced under water stress, suggesting the presence of low heritability for all the traits. Lines and interaction term contributed more to expression of seed cotton yield, number of bolls and boll weight, whilst lint percentage and fibre length were largely determined by the lines. Tester parents significantly contributed to fibre fineness. Non additive variation for fibre and yield related traits suggests possibility of using this material for hybrid development, and best varietal combinations were identified for exploitation in drought hit areas.
