Due to its unique material properties, such as extreme hardness and radiation resistance, silicon carbide has been used an important construction for environments with conditions, like those present in nuclear reactors. As such, it is constantly exposed energetic particles (e.g., neutrons) consequently subjected gradual crystal lattice degradation. In this article, the 6H-SiC damage simulated b...

Environmental disruptions, such as extreme weather events or poisoning of natural resources, are increasing in frequency and intensity. These critical global problems demand market- policy-based solutions. Adopting a Transformative Consumer Research perspective, this article examines the effects environmental disruptions on livelihoods very vulnerable group: nature-dependent prosumers. Nature-d...

• 61 commonly used Clear-sky irradiance models and 27 Machine Learning are reviewed. Those have been evaluated in various climate zones across China. The best performing model for hourly clear-sky estimation is obtained from this study. Some advisory advice can be areas with similar climatic types Accurate (CSI) a crucial factor most solar technologies improving cost competitiveness ensuring su...

We present an educational software package (Csim) used as a teaching tool to analyze the structure and behavior of a cache memory and to help the student in the design of cache memories for embedded systems. By means of an integrated software development environment, the user can create a program and explore its behavior (locality analysis). The student can observe the cache actions needed for ...

Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is caused by a mutant prelamin A, progerin, that terminates with a farnesylcysteine. HGPS knock-in mice (Lmna(HG/+)) develop severe progeria-like disease phenotypes. These phenotypes can be ameliorated with a protein farnesyltransferase inhibitor (FTI), suggesting that progerin's farnesyl lipid is important for disease pathogenesis and raising the pos...

CSIM19 is the latest version of the system modeling toolkit from Mesquite Software. CSIM19 offers many features that enable a modeler to develop robust and realistic models of complex systems. These models represent the system as a collection of processes and resources; in most cases the processes mimic the behavior of the entities of the system as they compete for use of the system’s resources...

Components of modern parallel systems are becoming quite complex with many features and variations. An integrated modeling of these components (interconnection network, messaging layer, programming model, and computation-communication characteristics of applications) is essential to derive design guidelines for next generation parallel systems. Most of the current simulation-based modeling plat...

The CSYN Verilog compiler was written by Dr Greaves in early 1994 as a vehicle for research in logic synthesis algorithms and to support experimental extensions to the Verilog language to test highlevel specification techniques. A basic version of CSYN is in use at a number of local companies for industrial FPGA design. This paper describes CSYN and its use with Xilinx devices for teaching. To ...

Information Systems (IS) as a relatively new business discipline in Taiwan has grown rapidly in the last two decades and was once the first choice for high school students entering business schools. Even after the dot com bubble burst in 2000, it is still one of the most popular majors for college and graduate students. Most graduates have no problem finding jobs in high-tech manufacturing or s...
