Introducing a New Dynamically and Design-Scalable Microarchitecture that Rewrites the Book on Energy Efficiency and Performance Since the introduction of Intel® CoreTM microarchitecture in 2006 and its 2007 45nm enhancements—the Intel Core microarchitecture (Penryn) family of processors—the blistering performance and energy efficiency of Intel® microprocessors have delivered unprecedented capab...

S ome preliminary data are needed to coherently analyze the present state of surgery in Brazil. Brazil is among the 10 greatest economies of the world, is the most populous South American country, and occupies an area of approximately 8500000 km. Its borders make contact with all South American countries, except for Chile and Ecuador. The political administrative organization comprises 26 state...

By use of the Fourier decomposition of a low-coherence optical image field into two spatial components that can be controllably shifted in phase with respect to each other, a new high-transverse-resolution quantitative-phase microscope has been developed. The technique transforms a typical optical microscope into a quantitative-phase microscope, with high accuracy and a path-length sensitivity ...

A new affinity column for renin was prepared by coupling the isosteric peptide inhibitor of renin, H.77 (D-His-Pro-Phe-His-LeuR-Leu-Val-Tyr, where R is a reduced isosteric bond, -CH2-NH-), to activated 6-aminohexanoic acid-Sepharose 4B. Chromatography of a crude extract of human kidney cortex on this material resulted in a 5500-fold purification of renin in 76% yield. The purified enzyme (speci...

In this issue: Welcome to issue 100 of GP Research Review. Shaun Holt propositioned me in the Koru Club in Auckland about a concept he had, called Research Review, some eight years ago; I had no idea that it would still be running – I had no idea that it would now have over 5500 subscribers and would be something I still thoroughly enjoy doing. Although it is supported by industry advertising n...

The propagation of reconnection signatures and their associated energy are examined using kinetic particle-in-cell simulations and Cluster satellite observations. It is found that the quadrupolar out-of-plane magnetic field near the separatrices is associated with a kinetic Alfvén wave. For magnetotail parameters, the parallel propagation of this wave is super-Alfvénic (V(∥) ∼ 1500-5500 km/s) a...

Convergence, accommodation and pupil diameter were measured simultaneously while subjects were watching 3D images. The subjects were middle-aged and had weak hyperopia. WAM-5500 and EMR-9 were combined to make an original apparatus for the measurements. It was confirmed that accommodation and pupil diameter changed synchronously with convergence. These findings suggest that with naked vision th...

A method of tuning a one-dimensional guided-mode resonance grating through the use of an air-pressure-responsive membrane is demonstrated here using finite-element method simulation. The device consists of a titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) grating structure embedded in a flexible polydimethylsiloxane membrane. This grating has a resonant response to TM-polarized light at a wavelength dependent upon t...
