Today power consumption is considered to be one of the important issues. Therefore, its reduction plays a considerable role in developing systems. Previous studies have shown that approximately 50% of total power consumption is used in cache memories. There is a direct relationship between power consumption and replacement quantity made in cache. The less the number of replacements is, the less...

The synthesis, microbiological profile and in vivo effectiveness in laboratory animals of a series of cephalosporins having 7-acyl substituents derived from methylthioacetic acid are described. Structure-activity relationships examined include the effect of oxidation of the side-chain sulfur atom, replacement of the (side-chain) methyl hydrogens by fluorine and replacement of the 3-acetoxy subs...

We characterized Apis mellifera in both native and introduced ranges using 1136 single-nucleotide polymorphisms genotyped in 341 individuals. Our results indicate that A. mellifera originated in Africa and expanded into Eurasia at least twice, resulting in populations in eastern and western Europe that are geographically close but genetically distant. A third expansion in the New World has invo...

The power of top-down, bottom-up, and tree-to-graph-to-tree transducers (tgt transducers) to compute translations from hyperedge-replacement algebras into edge-replacement algebras is investigated. Compositions of top-down and bottom-up tree transducers are too weak if the operations in the target algebra are powerful enough to deene all series-parallel graphs, 2-trees, or related types of grap...

A series of 81 patients has been reviewed to determine the value of endoprosthetic replacement of the proximal femur and hip in the treatment of bone tumours. Standard statistical methods were used to evaluate the survival of the replacements and the patients. Taking removal of the prosthesis, irrespective of the cause, as the criterion for failure the survival of the replacements was found to ...

there are occasional reports of using the appendix to replace sections of the ureters, and to our knowledge, only a couple of them were in the left side. we used the appendix as a ureteral substitute in two cases in technically difficult parts, the upper left ureter and the first part of the right ureter. follow-ups of8 years and 6 months in right and left side cases, respectively, are impressi...

a numerical method for solving nonlinear fredholm-volterra integral equations of general type is presented. this method is based on replacement of unknown function by truncated series of well known chebyshev expansion of functions. the quadrature formulas which we use to calculate integral terms have been imated by fast fourier transform (fft). this is a grate advantage of this method which has...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare extensor mechanism function using a sit-to-stand test in patients undergoing uni- and bilateral total knee replacement, with a 6-month follow-up. DESIGN Prospective controlled study. PATIENTS The series included 72 patients with total knee replacement (unilateral 32 patients, bilateral 40 patients). METHODS All patients were evaluated pre...

During a period of IS years from 1975 to 1989, eleven children with adrenocortical tumors were managed with relatively favorable results in our center. Despite its rarity in the pediatric age group, our series is one of the largest reported in the literature in the given period of time. All of our 11 patients presented with hyperfunction of the adrenal cortex. Virilization alone was the mo...

For adult Common Ground Doves from Sinaloa we demonstrate that the primaries are a single molt series, which sometimes feature two (in one case three) waves of feather replacement. Such stepwise primary replacement is found in many large birds but, at 40 g, this dove is much the smallest species reported to have multiple waves of replacement proceeding through its primaries simultaneously. Pre-...
