As the number of cores in multicore processors and their operating frequency continue to grow, processor power consumption increases and leads to an escalation in chip temperatures. This escalation causes today’s multicore processors’ performance to be limited by chip thermal constraints rather than process technology or circuit design. As a result, Dynamic Thermal Management (DTM) has an incre...

PURPOSE To evaluate in-office dermatophyte test medium (DTM) culture as an alternative to traditional laboratory fungal culture for confirming a diagnosis of onychomycosis, and to determine the prevalence of dermatophytes as a cause of onychomycosis in patients not participating in a clinical trial. DESIGN This nationwide multicenter prospective study enrolled 1100 adult patients with suspect...

Thermal-aware design of disk-drives is important because high temperatures can cause reliability problems. Dynamic thermal management (DTM) techniques have been proposed to operate the disk at the average case temperature, rather than at the worst case by modulating the activities to avoid thermal emergencies caused by unexpected events, such as fan-breaks, increased inlet air temperature, etc....

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the performance of the in-office dermatophyte test medium (DTM) culture when used to confirm the diagnosis of onychomycosis in diabetic patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Nail samples from 184 diabetic patients who exhibited symptoms consistent with toenail onychomycosis were screened for dermatophyte fungal infection using DTM, potassium hydroxide evaluation, and cen...

Dermatophyte test media (DTM) and Sabouraud's dextrose agar (SDA) are well established media for recovery of dermatophytes from clinical samples of dermatophytosis. Skin, hair and nail samples were mycologically examined from 112 patients attending Outpatient Clinic of Dermatology and Veneriology in Mansoura University Hospital in an attempt to compare dermatophyte identification media (DIM) wi...

This study focuses on the automatic extraction of DTMs from urban DEMs produced by image correlation. Many methods have been proposed in the literature yet processing correlation DEMs in any kind of areas remains a challenge. This paper presents a hybrid approach that combines complementary aspects of both TIN-based and segmentation-based techniques. Unlike previous work involving two complemen...

Network-Enabled Servers (NES) environments are valuable candidates to provide simple computing grid access. These environments allow transparent access to a set of computational servers via Remote Procedure Call mechanisms. In this context, a challenge is to increase performances by decreasing data traffic. This paper presents DTM (Data Tree Manager) a data management service for NES environmen...

Dynamic synchronous Transfer Mode (DTM) is a new protocol suite based on synchronous fast circuit switching. The DTM network is based on bandwidth reservation and supports dynamic reallocation of bandwidth. It is designed to support real-time multimedia applications and high-speed computer communication. DTM uses a novel medium-access technique and provides a multicast connection-oriented servi...

This paper proposes a new high-speed network architecture called Dynamic Transfer Mode, DTM. At the entrance of the DTM network, destination addresses such as IP addresses are converted into DTM routing information and attached to the packet header. In a DTM network, a connection is set up on-the-fly by sending a series of routing link identifiers to the destination, so burst data transfers lik...

To study gully spatial patterns in the badlands using a continuous thalweg vector network, this paper presents methods to extract the badlands’ thalweg network from a regular grid digital terrain model (DTM) by combining terrain morphology indices with a drainage algorithm. This method will delineate a thalweg only where the DTM denotes a significant curvature with respect to DTM accuracy and r...
