A novel flat capillary pump was designed to solve the problem of heat leakage from evaporator accumulator in pumps. The materials used obtain porous wick and main shell were silicon nitride low-thermal conductivity titanium alloy, respectively. size resulting 82.0 mm × 53.0 16.0 mm, eight cylindrical wicks arranged inside pump. pore size, porosity, 0.5 µm...

We represent the design details of a 4-m long undulator in cryostat having a period ~12mm and aperture ~6.35 mm allowing K~1.0. This undulator can be used in ILC positron conversion system as well as the insertion device for developing FEL systems.

The goal of this research is to improve the linearity of integrated oscillator based on switched-capacitor band-pass filter with a low Q-factor in order to achieve a feasible integration. With the minimum addition control digital control circuit, high linearity can be achieved by suppressing 3rd harmonic which requires high Q of filter in traditional way. Description. The aim of this research i...

The TAGE predictor [12] is considered as one of the most storage effective global branch/path history predictors. It has been shown that associated with small adjunct predictors like a statistical corrector (SC for short) and/or a loop predictor (L for short) [11, 10], TAGE can even be more effective. In this study, we explore the performance limits of these TAGE-SC-L predictors for respectivel...

For the paradigmatic case of H(2) dissociation, we compare state-of-the-art many-body perturbation theory in the GW approximation and density-functional theory in the exact-exchange plus random-phase approximation (RPA) for the correlation energy. For an unbiased comparison and to prevent spurious starting point effects, both approaches are iterated to full self-consistency (i.e., sc-RPA and sc...

Stochastic computing (SC) is an emerging computing technique that promises high density, low power, and error tolerant solutions. In SC, values are encoded as unary bitstreams and SC arithmetic circuits operate on one or more bitstreams. In many cases, the input bitstreams must be correlated or uncorrelated for SC arithmetic to produce accurate results. As a result, a key challenge for designin...

In prion diseases, abnormal prion protein (PrP(Sc)) is considered as the main component of the infectious agent. Delineation of PrP(Sc) conformation is expected to be a critical factor in understanding properties of prions. However, practical methods to differentiate between conformers of PrP(Sc) are inadequate. Here, we used two PrP(Sc)-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), 3B7 and 3H6, and f...

The conversion of normal cellular prion protein to disease-associated prion protein (PrP(Sc)) is a fundamental component of prion disease pathogenesis. The molecular mechanisms contributing to prion conversion and the impact of PrP(Sc) accumulation on cellular biology are not fully understood. To further define the molecular changes associated with PrP(Sc) accumulation in cultured cells, the tr...

OBJECTIVE To investigate what happens to the serum creatinine (SC) levels of people with initial mild elevations in SC; whether a stable, non-progressive elevation in SC level is the most common scenario; how common a progressive increase in SC is among primary care patients; and how often primary care patients with substantial elevations in SC (>300 micromol/L) progress to end-stage renal dise...
