Manure biostabilization by effective microorganisms as a way to improve its agronomic value

Angiostasis as a way to improve immunotherapy.

Tumours express tumour-associated antigens that are recognised as self-antigens precluding the induction of effective anti-tumour immune responses. Inflammatory conditions which facilitate appropriate antigen presentation and reduce the immuno-suppressive micro-milieu may break tolerance. However, tumours have evolved mechanisms to escape cytotoxic T-cell attack by expressing inhibitory molecul...

Brazil nuts: an effective way to improve selenium status.

BACKGROUND Brazil nuts provide a rich natural source of selenium, yet no studies have investigated the bioavailability of selenium in humans. OBJECTIVE We investigated the efficacy of Brazil nuts in increasing selenium status in comparison with selenomethionine. DESIGN A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 59 New Zealand adults. Participants consumed 2 Brazil nuts thought to prov...

Adaptive Information Processing: An Effective Way to Improve Perceptron Predictors

Perceptron branch predictors achieve high prediction accuracy by capturing correlation from very long histories. The required hardware, however, limits the effective history length to be explored, which in turn undermines the potential performance. In this paper, we propose an adaptive approach to dynamically reconfigure the input vector to a perceptron predictor to facilitate correlation explo...

Value Prediction as a Cost-Effective Solution to Improve Embedded Processors Performance

The growing market of embedded systems and applications has led to the making of more general embedded processors, with some features traditionally associated with general-purpose microprocessors. Following this trend, recent research has tried to incorporate into embedded processors the newest techniques to break down ILP limits. Value speculation is a recent technique not yet considered in th...
