Advancements in technology enable integration of multiple devices on a single core, resulting in increased on chip power and temperature densities. Higher temperatures, in turn, present a significant challenge for reliability. In this work we propose a comprehensive framework for analyzing reliability of multi-core systems, considering permanent faults. We show that aggressive power management ...

We report on the shape memory characteristics and magnetic behavior of polycrystalline and single crystalline FeNiCoTi. Predeforming the samples in the martensitic state and biasing of the martensite variants produced anisotropy in the magnetization behavior allowing the ‘easy axis’ to be identified as the ‘a-axis’ in the martensitic state. Based on these results, we provide an estimate of the ...

The ageing behaviour of electric double layer (EDLC) supercapacitors during over-temperature and overvoltage stresses is described. Specific experimental tests were carried out in order to reproduce, under laboratory controlled conditions, the above-mentioned stresses. The obtained results are discussed and interpreted to define indicators that distinguish between over-temperature and over-volt...

objective: optimal dentin bonding is not always obtained in clinical practice due to func-tional forces. these forces may provide stresses throughout the tooth and restorative sys-tem, which in turn may affect the adhesive bond. this experimental study evaluated the effect of load cycling on bond strength of self-etch systems. materials and methods: one third of the coronal portions of 48 intac...

Across many environments, nitrate (NO_3(-)) is an important form of N available for microorganisms and photosynthetic organisms. Accurate NO_3(-) measurements are important for examining N cycling and retention in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, but a common method of NO_3(-)) analysis can underestimate NO_3(-)) concentrations when soluble iron is present (iron > 10 mg L(-1)). The basic met...

[1] The present review describes progress in addressing and solving several fundamental and applied problems involving optical oceanography. These problems include: primary productivity, ecosystem dynamics, biogeochemical cycling, upper ocean heating, and the impacts of anthropogenic disturbances on ocean dynamics. Technological advances in optical sensors and ocean observing platforms are bein...

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probe for the identification of the Philadelphia (Ph) translocation [t(9;22) (q34;q11)] in chronic myelogenous leukemia cells was developed by inter-Alu-polymerase chain reaction of DNA from an interspecific somatic cell hybrid containing approximately 5 Mb of human DNA covering the ABL gene region on human chromosome 9q34. This probe was large enough t...

This paper investigates how bicycling can be promoted as a safe and feasible means of transport for everyone and for all trip purposes. The policies and programs needed to encourage a broad spectrum of social groups to cycle are the same policies and programs that encourage high overall levels of cycling: extensive systems of separate cycling facilities, intersection modifications and priority ...

The endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC) defined by the cycling lectin ERGIC-53 consists of tubulovesicular clusters, but it is unknown if these membranes are transport vehicles or stationary entities. Here, we show by live imaging that GFP-ERGIC-53 mainly localizes to long-lived stationary and some short-lived highly mobile elements. Unlike the anterograde marker VSV-G-...

Soil physical properties, such as soil texture, color, bulk density, and porosity are important determinants of water flow (e.g., infiltration drainage), biogeochemical cycling, plant community composition. In addition, they reflect the environment in which developed, giving insight into climate, mineralogy, land cover. While many assessments require sophisticated laboratory equipment, some can...
