Our objectives were to: (1) characterize SOC (0 to 1.53-m) within a 37-ha field typical of the Palouse region in eastern Washington; and (2) assess correlations and how much SOC variance could be accounted for by terrain and soil variables. A systematic, non-aligned grid of 177 georeferenced sample locations was established at the Washington State University Cook Agronomy Farm (CAF) near Pullma...

Introduction This white paper will highlight the Digital Signal Processor (DSP) based System-onChip (SoC) approach for high-performance wireless Base Stations. TI’s TMS320TCI6488 device will be used as an example to highlight the benefits of a flexible DSP SoC approach for W-CDMA baseband processing. A DSP SoC can provide a single-chip solution, lower power usage, better performance, more fruga...

Due to advance in semiconductor manufacturing technology, integration of whole electronics system on a single chip is feasible. Starting with baseline CMOS logic, semiconductor wafer manufacturers have gradually added to their portfolio embedded memory (SRAM, OPT, Flash), mixed signal devices, RF devices, and even MEMS. Because it offers many advantages over traditional multiple-chip solutions,...

This work-in-progress paper surveys error detection techniques for transient, timing, permanent and logical errors in system-on-chip (SoC) design and discusses their applicability in the design of monitors for our Autonomic SoC architecture framework. These monitors will be needed to deliver necessary signals to achieve fault-tolerance, self-healing and self-calibration in our Autonomic SoC arc...

OBJECTIVE Considering the high number of stressors encountered in the context of elite sports, a high sense of coherence (SOC) is crucial to allow athletes to maintain their health from both short- and long-term perspectives. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate SOC in a population of elite athletes, focusing on identification of subsets of athletes with particularly high an...

Via a large scale cross-sectional study among Japanese white color workers, the authors aimed to elucidate: (1) the distributions of Sense of Coherence (SOC), which reflect stress coping abilities, (2) the distributions of Life experience; (3) and the association between SOC and Life experience. Anonymous self-administered questionnaires were sent to 15,891 in 2001 and 21,922 in 2011 employees ...

We have sequenced and analyzed the expression of an early region of the bacteriophage T4 genome that surprisingly contains a late gene, soc. soc is oriented in the same direction as early genes, like the T4 lysozyme gene. Northern hybridization of early and late T4 RNA, using cloned T4 restriction fragments as probes, identified two long early transcripts and a short late transcript, all contai...

There is a growing demand for solutions which allow the design of large and complex reconfigurable Systems-on-Chip (SoC) at high abstraction levels. The Gannet project proposes a functional programming approach for high-abstraction design of very large SoCs. Gannet is a distributed service-based SoC architecture, i.e. a network of services offered by hardware or software cores. The Gannet SoC p...

This report briefly presents PAM-SoC, a toolchain for predicting MPSoC platform performance, and its results on predicting the performance of a set of six benchmark applications.
