Non-volatile memories (NVM) including flash memories and resistive memories have attracted significant interest as data storage media. Flash memories are widely employed in mobile devices and solid-state drives (SSD). Resistive memories are promising as storage class memory and embedded memory applications. Data reliability is the fundamental requirement of NVM as data storage media. However, modern nano-scale NVM suffers from challenges of inter-cell interference (ICI), charge leakage, and write endurance, which threaten the reliability of stored data. In order to cope with these adverse effects, advanced coding techniques including soft decision decoding have been investigated actively. However, current coding techniques do not capture the physical properties of NVM well, so the improvement of data reliability is limited. Although soft decision decoding improves the data reliability by using soft decision values, it degrades read speed performance due to multiple read operations needed to obtain soft decision values. In this dissertation, we explore coding schemes that use side information corresponding to the physical phenomena to improve the data reliability significantly. The side information is obtained before writing data into memory and incorporated during the encoding stage. Hence, the proposed coding schemes maintain the read speed whereas the write speed performance would be degraded. It is a big advantage from the perspective of speed performance since the read speed is more critical than the write speed in many memory applications. First, this dissertation investigates the coding techniques for memory with stuckat defects. The idea of coding techniques for memory with stuck-at defects is employed to handle critical problems of flash memories and resistive memories. For 2D planar flash memories, we propose a coding scheme that combats the ICI, which is a primary challenge of 2D planar flash memories. Also, we propose a coding scheme that reduces the effect of fast detrapping, a degradation factor in 3D vertical flash memories. Finally, we investigate the coding techniques that improve write endurance and power consumption of resistive memories.

The primary element of my thesis is the sequence of poems, which engages with the theme of memory in regard to the way remembering and forgetting offers both linguistic possibility and limitation; a sequence focusing on a woman's experience of dementia, and informed by a professional background in social work as well as my reading of H.D.'s major works. In the latter, I trace the significance of memory and its relationship to poetic creativity. Consideration of this relationship is explored in the secondary, critical component with regard to the influence of Sigmund Freud's theories on H.D.'s poetry. In Chapter One I refer to his dream techniques, condensation and displacement, and probe the way in which an understanding of Freud's methodology in relation to the reading of the dream-text also illuminates the reading of H.D.'s imagist poetry in terms of both being condensed versions of something that grows in size when analysed. Thus, I show that H.D.'s poetic practice requires her reader to make associations as well as connections between inner and outer realities as a means of revealing what is concealed. The focus on Freud's influence continues in Chapter Two with reference to H.D.'s long poem, Helen in Egypt, especially in relation to the examination of the way in which the poet engages with his psychoanalytic theories on the recovery of memories. Furthermore, H.D.'s revision of the Helen of Troy myth provides a means of exploring feminine subjectivity as Helen seeks self-knowledge through the discovery of her different selves; her quest, moreover, reflects the gradual process of remembering what had hitherto been forgotten. This paradox is also important to my own creative work and H.D.'s elucidation of the unconscious has informed my sequence of poems, Returns of the Past. In Chapter Three, I trace my own poetic development and practice with regard to inhabiting poetry for many years.

Research in our laboratory has demonstrated blocked and recovered memories within the context of a controlled experiment. The comparative memory paradigm allows for comparisons of recovered memories, continuous memories, and false memories. Additional research in our laboratory has shown two distinct types of memory errors; semantic based errors which occur due to pre-existing category knowledge, and episodic based errors in which the source of details (list members) are misattributed. Independently, these two lines of research have illuminated basic memory processes, however, they have not been combined previously. That is, the experiments in the present study explore the susceptibility of recovered memories to semantic and episodic based errors relative to continuous memories. Experiment 1 replicated the large blocking and recovery effects previously found by our laboratory. Additionally, it demonstrated that recovered memories were no more prone to semantic based errors than were continuous memories. These errors occurred very infrequently despite the use of materials chosen specifically to induce such errors. Experiment 2 again replicated the large blocking and recovery effects. The equivalent low rate of semantic based errors was also replicated. However, Experiment 2 also revealed that recovered memories were more susceptible to episodic based errors than were continuous memories. This was especially true when the memory block occurred in an interference treatment condition. Finally, post-recall source recognition tests failed to improve memory accuracy. In fact, numerically both semantic based and episodic based errors increased on the source recognition test relative to the cued recall test. Findings are discussed in relation to the source monitoring and fuzzy-trace theories of memory as well as the legal and clinical recovered memory controversy.
