The Levo high ILP microarchitecture is described and evaluated. Levo employs instruction time-tags and active stations to ensure correct operation in a rampantly speculative and out-oforder resource flow execution model. The Tomasulo-algorithm-like broadcast buses are segmented; their lengths are constant, that is, do not increase with machine size. This helps to make Levo scalable. Known High-...

This paper presents the first global estimate of lighting energy use, costs, and associated greenhouse-gas emissions. Based on a compilation of estimates for 41 countries representing approximately 63% of the world’s population, we develop a model for predicting lighting electricity use for other countries where data are lacking. The corresponding lighting-related electricity production for the...

background: because of the close relationship between economic growth and welfare of the societies many economists have been seeking to identify the sources of economic growth. human capital through enhancing workforce skills and quality, increases the amount of workforce income which consequently leads to economic growth. methods: this study is based on data from the social accounting matrix o...

We prospectively studied the feasibility and effectiveness of sputum induction in obtaining good quality sputum and its subsequent bacterial yield in children with clinically suspected acute lower-respiratory-tract infection (aLRTI). Good quality sputum was collected in 89/98 (91%) patients. Sputum cultures revealed ≥1 bacterial pathogens in 22 cases (25%). Adverse events were infrequent and mi...

Early modern societies were pervaded by smells and odours, but few traces have survived that offer a glimpse of the olfactory experience. This essay reconstructs this lost early ‘smellscape’, focusing on smell disease death in late medieval Antwerp Church Our Lady (c. 1450-1559). Bustling cathedrals parish churches could be minefield life-threatening as there was strong interaction between exte...

The article provides an overview of the process Chinese migrants coming, together to explore land together, establish a village, and bustling Cu Lao city in Southern late seventeenth early eighteenth centuries. A small group people, due failure “anti-Thanh” movement, fled Dang Trong was arranged by Lord Nguyen settle Ban Lan (Bien Hoa today); continued come after that, making community more cro...

Electronic feedback is used to self-excite the axial oscillation of a single electron in a Penning trap. Large, stable, easily detected oscillations arise even in an anharmonic potential. Amplitudes are controlled by adjusting the feedback gain, and frequencies can be made nearly independent of amplitude fluctuations. Quantum jump spectroscopy of a perpendicular cyclotron motion reveals the abs...

Movable Party is a mobile, real-time interactive music system where audience-participants pedal stationary bicycles to generate power and perform interactive music. Inspired by nakashi Taiwanese street performance culture, Movable Party creates a bustling public and streetside vibrancy in the decentralized metropolis of Los Angeles. The system consists of three stationary bicycles, each equippe...
