We design three different layouts of DFFs in a 28 nm thin-BOX FD-SOI process to compare their radiation hardness. We measure them by alpha-particle irradiation. Experimental results show that the soft-error probability of two-fingered inverters is 2.6x higher than that of one-fingered one at 0.4 V when DATA and CLK are 1 and 0 respectively. We also measure the relationship between process varia...

A fast method to obtain a quantitative structure-retention relationship is required in chromatography for the rapid optimization of chromatographic separation conditions. Chromatographic data of acidic drugs are analyzed by a computational chemical method to simulate chromatographic simulation. The direct interaction between a model phase and a drug is calculated as an energy value using the mo...

All us Wedevelop a dynamic theory ofmanagerial turnover in a world in which the quality of the match between a firm and its managers changes stochastically over time. Shocks to managerial productivity are anticipated at the time of contracting but privately observed by the managers. Our key positive result shows that the firm’s optimal retention decisions become more permissive with time. Our k...

AIMS Fluid retention is a phenomenon associated with taxoids. The principal objective of this study was to investigate the pathophysiological mechanism of docetaxel-induced fluid retention in advanced cancer patients. METHODS Docetaxel was administered as a 1 h intravenous infusion every 3 weeks, for at least 4-6 consecutive cycles, to patients with advanced breast (n = 21) or ovarian (n = 3)...

INTRODUCTION Inadequate health literacy is a pervasive problem with major implications for reduced health status and health disparities. Despite the role of focused education in both primary and secondary prevention of stroke, the effect of health literacy on stroke education retention has not been reported. We examined the relationship of health literacy to the retention of knowledge after rec...

This chapter deals with how to use data mining technology to find interesting pattern, which can be organized for global customer retention. Customer relationship management (CRM) comprises a set of processes and enabling systems supporting a business strategy to build long term, profitable relationships with specific customers. Customer data and information technology (IT) tools shape into the...

Six types of weight changes that occur when food is cooked by different methods are described. For five of these types, true retentions of nutrients (defined as calculations based on nutrient content of known weights of food before and after cooking) were compared with apparent retentions (defined as calculations based on nutrient content of moisture-free raw and cooked foods). Comparisons incl...

Soil water retention parameters are critical to quantify flow and solute transport in vadose zone, while the presence of rock fragments remarkably increases their variability. Therefore a novel method for determining water retention parameters of soil-gravel mixtures is required. The procedure to generate such a model is based firstly on the determination of the quantitative relationship betwee...

introduction: the aim of this study was to investigate whether there is any relationship between the condition of complete dentures and tmds. methods: the sample consisted of 61 consecutive patients (35 females and 26 males) who were admitted to the department of prosthodontics of mashhad faculty of dentistry for fabrication of new complete dentures.  the age range of the participants was betwe...
