background cataract is one of the most common surgical procedures in the elderly. in most cases, the elderly have cardiac ischemia or chronic coronary diseases, which would lead to more ischemic events during general anesthesia. therefore, surgeons and anesthetists prefer regional aesthesia to the general one owing to its more advantages and less complications. objectives therefore, this study ...

Running Deep Neural Network (DNN) models on devices with limited computational capability is a challenge due to large compute and memory requirements. Quantized Neural Networks (QNNs) have emerged as a potential solution to this problem, promising to offer most of the DNN accuracy benefits with much lower computational cost. However, harvesting these benefits on existing mobile CPUs is a challe...

To exploit larger amounts of instruction level parallelism, processors are being built with wider issue widths and larger numbers offunctional units. Instruction fetch rate must also be increased in order to effectively exploit the performance potential of such processors. Block-structured ISAs provide an effective means of increasing the instruction fetch rate. We define an optimization, calle...

The AKARI/FIS Bright Source Catalogue Version 1.0 provides the positions and fluxes of 427,071 point sources in the four far-infrared wavelengths centred at 65, 90, 140, and 160 μm. The sensitivity in the 90 μm band is about 0.55 Jy. This document describes the data format and definitions of contents, and the characteristics of the release catalogue. The outline of the data processing and calib...

The dependence on the torsion H = db of the Wess-Zumino couplings of Dbranes that are trivially embedded in space-time is studied. We show that even in this simple set-up some torsion components can be turned on, with a non-trivial effect on the RR couplings. In the special cases in which either the tangent or the normal bundle are trivial, the torsion dependence amounts to substitute the stand...
