The present conditions of classroom instruction to numbers of children still too large to be adequately handled, makes it nearly inevitable that the problem of educafor teachers of backward children should become largely a question of measuring abilities, testing attainments and organising children into more homogeneous grades; and within those grades, diagnosing and treating by individual meth...

......Broad social and economic trends are challenging the semiconductor industry to adapt to the next generation of systems and services. Computing continues to migrate from desktops and notebooks to mobile devices and the cloud. Social media and multimedia growth will drive further consumer demand for wireless bandwidth. The emerging machineto-machine communication network known as the Intern...

Cell membranes are not simply barriers separating intracellular from extracellular space. Rather, they represent a dynamic high-turnover system that adapts to current demands. During inflammation, prostaglandins and leukotrienes are formed from membrane-derived phospholipids. Encouraging improvements in critically ill patients were observed after nutritional replacement of long-chain omega-6 fa...

Dependability is an essential attribute for microfluidic biochips that are being developed for safety-critical applications such as point-of-care health assessment, air-quality monitoring, and food-safety testing. Therefore, these devices must be adequately tested after manufacture and during bioassay operations. This paper describes testing and diagnosis techniques for droplet-based "digital" ...

We report anti-cancer activity of ZnO thin-film-coated chips by sustained release of zinc ions. ZnO chips were fabricated by precisely tuning ZnO thickness using atomic layer deposition, and their potential to release zinc ions relative to the number of deposition cycles was evaluated. ZnO chips exhibited selective cytotoxicity in human B lymphocyte Raji cells while having no effect on human pe...

AIM To evaluate histologically the morphology and characteristics of bone chips harvested intraorally by Safescraper, a specially designed cortical bone collector. MATERIAL AND METHODS Bone chips harvested near a bone defect or in other intraoral sites were grafted into a post-extractive socket or applied in procedures for maxillary sinus floor augmentation or guided bone regeneration. Core b...

Abstract: Tamper resistance of LSI chips against physical attacks is studied from the viewpoint of LSI failure analysis. Laying stress on the basic physical phenomena generated in LSI chips under operating conditions, we outline today’s failure analysis techniques with application to evaluating or testing tamper resistance of LSI chips. We give some results from our case study on inactivation o...

Implantable RFID chips are being seen as a potential security device in near future with the application oriented availability of these chips in marketplace. The applications are seen in a wide domain from health monitoring to emergency solutions, but there is a darker side with erosion of privacy and breach in the bodily integrity with implantation of such chips. The applications of the implan...

Large scale analysis of gene expression using DNA arrays shows great promise in enhancing our understanding of how the genome constructs the brain. This technology has been employed to analyze gene expression variations in the brain resulting from genetic polymorphisms, drug abuse, aging, and the neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease. Although the data from DN...
