Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for NAND structures with polarized materials are described. A memory device may include a polarized dielectric material located relatively near to a channel, which may reduce interference between cells. The polarized dielectric material may include a dielectric material with a fixed polarity and having a first surface with a negative polarity oriented towards the channel. The negative polarity of the polarized dielectric material may affect an electron distribution of the channel by shifting the electron distribution closer to an associated charge trapping material. The shifted electron distribution may reduce an effect of an electric field of any aggressor cells of the memory device on one or more victim cells, by creating a more uniform channel electron distribution and increasing gate control relative to a channel without the effects of the polarized dielectric material.

Abstract: A memory access operation is initiated to read a set of target memory cells of a target wordline of the memory device. During the memory access operation, a read voltage level is caused to be applied to the target wordline. During the memory access operation, a first pass through voltage level is caused to be applied to a first wordline adjacent to the target wordline. During the memory access operation, a second pass through voltage is caused to be applied to a second wordline adjacent to the target wordline, wherein the first pass through voltage level is less than the second pass through voltage level.

Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of system, method and computer-accessible medium can be provided to reconstruct models based on the probabilistic notion of causation, which can differ fundamentally from that can be based on correlation. A general reconstruction setting can be complicated by the presence of noise in the data, owing to the intrinsic variability of biological processes as well as experimental or measurement errors. To gain immunity to noise in the reconstruction performance, it is possible to use a shrinkage estimator. On synthetic data, the exemplary procedure can outperform currently known procedures and, for some real cancer datasets, there are biologically significant differences revealed by the exemplary reconstructed progressions. The exemplary system, method and computer accessible medium can be efficient even with a relatively low number of samples and its performance quickly converges to its asymptote as the number of samples increases.

Abstract: Some embodiments include apparatuses and methods having a memory cell string including memory cells located in different levels of the apparatus and a data line coupled to the memory cell string. The memory cell string includes a pillar body associated with the memory cells. At least one of such apparatus can include a module configured to store information in a memory cell among memory cells and/or to determine a value of information stored in a memory cell among memory cells. The module can also be configured to apply a voltage having a positive value to the data line and/or a source to control a potential of the body. Other embodiments are described.
