Heavy ion irradiation of SRAM-based FPGA’s
We have investigated the effects produced by exposing a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) based on static RAM to an Ion Beam. Tested devices have been taken from FLEX10K family manufactured by Altera Corporation. These parts are commercial graded and not qualified for application in radioactive environments. A design based on mixed plain and Triple-Modular-Redundant (TMR) shift registers (SR...
متن کاملPTFE degradation under heavy ion irradiation
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) shows an outstanding combination of chemical and physical properties such as excellent resistance to chemical reagents, thermal stability in a wide temperature range, high electric resistance, and low friction coefficient. However, PTFE is known to be extremely sensitive to high energy radiation undergoing scission of the main chain. As a result of the reduction o...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Long-term Care Programs; Comment on “Financing Long-term Care: Lessons From Japan”
The need for long-term care (LTC) represents a “new social risk,” one that overlaps with and complements systems of care that pre-date such programs, complicating LTC program design. This commentary expands on Ikegami’s discussion of how these structural factors must be accommodated, as well as historical and cultural factors that influence public expectations of such a...
متن کاملYear-long upregulation of connexin43 in rabbit hearts by heavy ion irradiation.
A previous study from our laboratory has shown that a single targeted heavy ion irradiation (THIR; 15 Gy) to rabbit hearts increases connexin43 (Cx43) expression for 2 wk in association with an improvement of conduction, a decrease of the spatial inhomogeneity of repolarization, and a reduction of vulnerability to ventricular arrhythmias after myocardial infarction. This study investigated the ...
متن کاملFinancing Long-Term Care: Lessons From Japan
Long-term care (LTC) must be carefully delineated when expenditures are compared across countries because how LTC services are defined and delivered differ in each country. LTC’s objectives are to compensate for functional decline and mitigate the care burden of the family. Governments have tended to focus on the poor but Germany opted to make LTC universally available ...
