Though discussions of data protection have focused on the larger, more established organisations, startups also warrant attention. This is particularly so for tech startups, who are often innovating at ‘cutting-edge’—pushing boundaries technologies that typically lack best-practices. Initial decisions taken by could well long-term impacts, and their actions may inform (for better or worse) how ...

Recent 64-bit microprocessors have made a huge 18.4 quintillion byte address space potentially available to programs. This has led to the design of Operating Systems that provide a single virtual address space in which all code and data reside in and across all levels of storage and all nodes of a distributed system. These operating systems, called SASOSs, have characteristics that can be used ...

This paper focuses on the use of Atmospheric Dispersion and Impact Assessment Modeling (ADIAM) in nuclear emergency management. As a complement to field measurements, these tools participate in emergency decision support regarding the assessment of impacted areas and population protection countermeasures. This paper aims to study how this expertise is used during crisis situation and question t...

Infineon equipped their TriCore 2 microcontroller with multithreading capabilities. As memory protection techniques are getting more important, it also implements a rangebased memory protection system. Based on the multithreading capability a helper thread can run in a thread slot in separation from the real-time application thread to support embedded operating systems like OSEK or AUTOSAR OS u...

Patients in a variety of cardiovascular disease states may benefit from temporary percutaneous cardiac support, including those in acute decompensated heart failure, fulminant myocarditis, acute myocardial infarction with or without cardiogenic shock and those undergoing high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention. The ideal percutaneous cardiac support device is safe, easy to use and versatil...

daniels, porteny and urrutia et al make a good case for the idea that that public decisions ought to be made not only “in the light of” evidence but also “on the basis of” budget impact, financial protection and equity. health technology assessment (hta) should, they say, be accordingly expanded to consider matters additional to safety and cost-effectiveness. they also complain that most hta re...
