Power dissipation is increasingly important in CPUs ranging from those intended for mobile use, all the way up to high-performance processors for high-end servers. While the bulk of the power dissipated is dynamic switching power, leakage power is also beginning to be a concern. In upcoming chip generations, the proportion of total chip power due to leakage is expected to increase signi cantly....

This study aims to analyze the perspectives of intergenerational relationships between older adults and adult children. For this purpose, a qualitative research was carried out, which analyzes these relations at cross-national level. Four hundred twenty four participants aged 65–97 years, were interviewed. Participants three different nationalities lived in community. All interviews went throug...

In 1958 Claude Cockburn recalled a meeting with three Ladino-speaking Jews in Sofia shortly after the Second World War. They explained that they were not Spaniards, but one of them added, "Our family used to live in Spain before they moved to Turkey. Now we are moving to Bulgaria." When Cockburn asked him how long it has been since his family lived in Spain, he responded that it had been approx...

this study is aimed at identifying and comparing the factors impacting on happy, stable marriages lasting more than 20 years and the factors influencing divorcing couples. using purposeful sampling, the sampling process continued until theoretical saturation. the obtained data were analyzed on the basis of grounded theory. the results indicate that a journey toward a thriving or dissolving marr...

The aim of the study is to investigate influence capitalist spirit in conjunction with distribution income on economic growth. represented by fact that savings rates increase increasing relative income. We extend an endogenous AK growth model overlapping generational framework implementing imperfect competition and Cournot competition. Using this model, we profits intra- inter-generational dist...

Trans-generational plasticity (TGP) is the adjustment of phenotypes to changing habitat conditions that persist longer than the individual lifetime. Fitness benefits (adaptive TGP) are expected upon matching parent-offspring environments. In a global change scenario, several performance-related environmental factors are changing simultaneously. This lowers the predictability of offspring enviro...

BACKGROUND Food limitation early in life may be compensated for by developmental plasticity resulting in accelerated development enhancing survival at the expense of small adult body size. However and especially for females in non-matching maternal and offspring environments, being smaller than the standard may incur considerable intra- and trans-generational costs. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FIND...

OBJECTIVE Functional trans-generational and parental effects are potentially important determinants of health in several mammals. For humans, the existing evidence is weak. We investigate whether disease exposure triggers functional trans-generational response effects among humans by analyzing siblings who were conceived under different disease loads, and comparing their mortality in later epid...
