Preparata and Vuillemin proposed the cube connected cycles CCC in and in the same paper gave an asymptotically optimal layout scheme for the CCC While all the known optimal layouts including the Preparata Vuillemin layout of the CCC have long wires we give a new layout scheme which has no long wires while keeping the asymptotically optimal area Hence we can conclude that the CCC can be laid out...

In this paper, we present and analyze yield enhancement designs for wafer scale Cube Connected Cycles (CCC). Improvements in yield can be achieved through silicon area reduction and/or through the incorporation of defect/fault tolerance into the architecture. Consequently, we first propose a new compact layout strategy for CCC. We then present a novel implementation of wafer scale CCC based on ...

BACKGROUND It has long been appreciated that different subtypes (serous, clear cell, endometrioid and mucinous) of epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) have distinct pathogenetic pathways. However, clinical management, especially chemotherapeutic regimens, for EOC patients is not subtype specific. Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) is a rare histological subtype of EOC, which exhibits high rates ...

BACKGROUND The outcome of Chagas disease patients after receiving implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is still controversial. OBJECTIVE To compare clinical outcomes after ICD implantation in patients with chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy (CCC) and ischemic heart disease (IHD). METHODS Prospective study of a population of 153 patients receiving ICD (65 with CCC and 88 with IHD). The de...

BACKGROUND We aimed to evaluate the function of coronary collateral circulation (CCC) in the ischemic myocardium by a two-dimensional strain technique. METHODS AND RESULTS Myocardial segments for all patients were divided into three groups: no coronary collateral circulation (NCCC), CCC, and normal control. We obtained the segmental strain and the strain rate in longitudinal, radial, circumfe...

OBJECTIVE To prepare biocompatible ciprofloxacin-loaded carboxymethyl chitosan nanoparticles (CCC NPs) and evaluate their cell specificity as well as antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli in vitro. METHODS CCC NPs were prepared by ionic cross-linking method and optimized by using Box-Behnken response surface method (BBRSM). Zeta potential, drug encapsulation, and release of the obta...

Feeding behaviour is an important parameter of animal performance, health and welfare, as well as reflecting levels and quality of feed available. Previously, sensors were only used for measuring animal feeding behaviour in indoor housing systems. However, sensors such as the RumiWatchSystem can also monitor such behaviour continuously in pasture-based environments. Therefore, the aim of this s...
