ÐThe increasing hardware complexity of dynamically scheduled superscalar processors may compromise the scalability of this organization to make an efficient use of future increases in transistor budget. SMT processors, designed over a superscalar core, are therefore directly concerned by this problem. This work presents and evaluates a novel processor microarchitecture which combines two paradi...

We apply the dressing method to a string solution given by a static string wrapped around the equator of a three-sphere and find that the result is the single spike solution recently discussed in the literature. Further application of the method allows the construction of solutions with multiple spikes. In particular we construct the solution describing the scattering of two single spikes and c...

background: it has been reported that epilepsy is a disorder of the central nervous system that causes memory impairment. this study examines the role of the aqueous extract of boswellia on the learning disability of the pentylenetetrazol (ptz)‑induced kindled rats. methods: in this experimental study, 64 male rats were used. kindling seizures were induced by three injections of 25 mg/kg of ptz...

BACKGROUND Cholinesterase inhibitors and glutamate blockers are commonly used for the treatment of cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's disease. The aim was to evaluate the effects of rivastigmine and memantine alone or in combination in rats with scopolamine-impaired memory. METHOD 5 groups of rats were used: control, scopolamine (model), model with rivastigmine, model with memantine, and mod...

In the present study, we investigated the possible role of the dorsal hippocampal (CA1) dopamine D1 receptors on scopolamine-induced amnesia as well as scopolamine state-dependent memory in adult male Wistar rats. Animals were bilaterally implanted with chronic cannulae in the CA1 regions of the dorsal hippocampus, trained in a step-through type inhibitory avoidance task, and tested 24h after t...

alzheimer’s disease (ad) is a disorder with multiple pathophysiological causes, destructive outcomes, and no available definitive cure. pelargonidin (pel), an anthocyanin derivative, is an estrogen receptor agonist with little estrogen side effects. this study was designed to assess pel memory enhancing effects on the a rat amyloid beta 25-35 (aβ) intrahippocampal microinjections model of ad in...

Morphine’s effects on learning and memory processes are well known to depend on synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus. Whereas the role of the hippocampus in morphine-induced amnesia and state-dependent learning is established, the biochemical and molecular mechanisms underlying these processes are poorly understood. The present study intended to investigate whether administration of morphine ...

Multirate simulation of electric networks exhibiting a wide variety of time constants decreases the simulation runtimes by exploiting the property of circuit latency. The fundamental idea is to use different integration steps for distinct elements and/or parts of the network according to requirements of accuracy for each element. HVDC converters are ideally suited for latency exploitation since...
