We have designed and constructed a Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS) for the study of submillimeter-wave mixers and optical components. The FTS has a large aperture (up to 25.4 cm) and small focal ratio (as fast as f/2.5) to achieve a large throughput. It operates in the 100-3750 GHz (3.3-125 cm ?1) frequency range with a resolution of up to 75 MHz (0.0025 cm ?1). Here we discuss the design ...

Advanced many-core CPU chips already have few hundreds of processing cores (e.g. 160 cores in an IBM Cyclops-64 chip) and as computer architecture progresses, more and more processing cores become available. The underlying runtime systems of such architectures need to efficiently serve hundreds of processors at the same time, requiring all basic data structures within the runtime to maintain un...

A new high-throughput viscosimeter device was designed, built, and tested allowing measurement of the viscosity of 100 different solutions in a single experiment using the falling sphere approach. Using the corrected Stokes' law, viscosities obtained by the HT device were compared to viscosities of the same solutions obtained on a conventional viscosimeter and showed excellent correlation. The ...

Whole genome approaches using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers have the potential to transform complex disease genetics and expedite pharmacogenetics research. This has led to a requirement for high-throughput SNP genotyping platforms. Development of a successful high-throughput genotyping platform depends on coupling reliable assay chemistry with an appropriate detection system to ...

Recent research shows that the occupancy of the coherence controllers is a major performance bottleneck for distributed cache coherent shared memory multiprocessors. In this paper we study three approaches to alleviating this problem in hardwired coherence controllers, namely, multiple protocol engines, pipelined protocol engines, and split request-response streams. Split request-response strea...

Callus induction and regeneration of fennel from embryo explants were stabilized in the presence of cefotaxime antibiotic and different plant growth regulators (PGRs). The experiments were conducted under a factorial experiment, based on a completely randomized design (CRD). Genotypes; Fasa, Meshkinshar and Hajiabad were applied under different concentration of cefotaxime (0 and 100 mg l-1...

background: for screening sequence variations in genes, rapid turnover time is of fundamental importance. while, many of the current methods are unfortunately time consuming and technically difficult to implement. denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (dhplc) method had been shown to be a high-throughput, time saving, and economical tool for mutation screening. objective: in the pre...

The current high-throughput sequencing technologies produce gigabytes of data even when prokaryotic genomes are processed. In a subsequent assembly phase, the generated overlapping reads are merged, ideally into one contiguous sequence. Often, however, the assembly results in a set of contigs which need to be stitched together with additional lab work. One of the reasons why the assembly produc...
