in-memory architecture that makes highly effective use of internal memory bandwidth by pitch-matching simple processing elements to memory columns. Computational RAM (also referred to as C•RAM) can function either as a conventional memory chip or as a SIMD (single-instruction stream, multiple-data stream) computer. When used as a memory, computational RAM is competitive with conventional DRAM i...

BACKGROUND  Improved thromboprophylaxis for acutely ill medical patients relies on valid predictions of thrombotic risks. Our aim was to compare the performance of the Improve and Geneva clinical risk assessment models (RAMs), and to simplify the current Geneva RAM. METHODS  Medical inpatients from eight Swiss hospitals were prospectively followed during 90 days, for symptomatic venous thromb...

Ram seminal plasma increases the fertility of frozen-thawed ram spermatozoa deposited into the cervix. The aim of the current study was to compare the effect of ram seminal plasma to that of bull seminal plasma, dog prostatic fluid, protein-free TALP TrilEq (Triladyl with 0.5 mt of Equex STM paste added to each 100 mt) and heat-treated skim milk on longevity and percentages of progressively mot...

Computed tomography (CT) myelography is used occasionally in the diagnosis of cervical spondylomyelopathy, but the type of lesion found in large- versus giant-breed dogs using this modality has not been characterized. Our purpose was to report the frequency of compressive lesions in large- and giant-breed dogs with cervical spondylomyelopathy and imaged using CT myelography. Fifty-eight dogs we...

In recent years, a rapidly growing number of small embedded systems have been used in very high volumes. One example is the automotive industry, where the number of Electronic Control Units (ECU) in a single car is approaching 100 for high end automobiles and several dozens are used in mid-range cars. Small system-on-chip microcontrollers are often used with static operating systems. As on-chip...

The objectives of this study were to develop breed-specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in five pig breeds sequenced with Illumina's Genome Analyzer and to investigate their usefulness for breed assignment purposes. DNA pools were prepared for Duroc, Landrace, Large White, Pietrain and Wild Boar. The total number of animals used for sequencing was 153. SNP discovery was performed by ...

Maturation and translation of mRNA in eukaryotes requires the addition of the 7-methylguanosine cap. In vertebrates, the cap methyltransferase, RNA guanine-7 methyltransferase (RNMT), has an activating subunit, RNMT-Activating Miniprotein (RAM). Here we report the first crystal structure of the human RNMT in complex with the activation domain of RAM. A relatively unstructured and negatively cha...

When a sufficient current density passes through the MTJ, the spin-polarized current will exert a spin transfer torque to switch the magnetization of the free layer. This is the fundamental of the novel write mechanism in STT-RAM, current-induced magnetization switching. It allows STT-RAM to have a smaller cell size and write current than MRAM, and also capable of what MRAM promises: fast, dens...

In multi-label text categorization, one or more labels (or categories) can be assigned to a single document. In many such categorization tasks, there can be correlation on the assignment of subsets of the set of categories. This can be exploited to improve machine learning techniques devoted to multi-label text categorization. In this paper, we examine a Virtual Generalizing Random Access Memor...
