Single s.c. injections of 500 ^g 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene in tricaprylin were given to 25 males and 25 females of 10 inbred strains of Syrian hamsters. In 9 strains, the average time of latency before palpable tu mors appeared was 13 to 16 weeks. In 1 strain, BIO 15.16, the average latency was 10 weeks. These differ ences are statistically significant. In this line, the first palpable tum...

Superior response inhibition is an essential component of the advanced cognitive abilities of gifted children. This study investigated response inhibition in intellectually gifted children by recording event-related brain potentials (ERPs) during a Go/NoGo task. Fifteen intellectually gifted children and 15 intellectually average children participated. Our present findings showed that intellect...

Addition is the most frequent oating-point operation in modern microprocessors. Due to its complex shift-add-shift-round data ow, oating-point addition can have a long latency. To achieve maximum system performance, it is necessary to design the oating-point adder to have minimum latency, while still providing maximum throughput. This paper proposes a new oating-point addition algorithm which e...

Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) may suffer from a high lookup latency due to the issue of topology mismatching between the overlay and the physical underlying network. To handle this problem, recently, some researchers use network coordinates (NCs) to construct topology-aware DHTs(e.g. Canary). However, these proposed DHTs still have room to be improved due to the inaccuracy of NCs. To construct...

The preex problem is to compute all the products x 1 x 2 x k , for 1 k n, where is an associative binary operation. We start with an asynchronous circuit to solve this problem with O(log n) latency and O(n log n) circuit size, with O(n)-operations in the circuit. Our contributions are: (i) A modiication to the circuit that improves its average-case latency from O(log n) to O(log log n) time; an...

AIMS To determine the effect of glaucomatous damage on the latency of the multifocal visual evoked potential (mfVEP). METHODS Monocular mfVEPs were recorded from a glaucoma group (n = 50) defined by a glaucomatous disc and an abnormal visual field and a control group (n = 47). 25 patients were characterised as normal tension glaucoma (NTG) and 25 as high tension glaucoma (HTG). Monocular and ...

Achieving high performance in virtualized data centers requires both deploying high throughput storage clusters, i.e. based on Solid State Disks (SSDs), as well as optimally consolidating the workloads across storage nodes. Nowadays, the only practical solution for cloud storage providers to offer guaranteed performance is to grossly over-provision the storage nodes. The current workload schedu...

Adaptive routing is widely regarded as a promising approach to improving interconnection network performance. Many designers of adaptive routing algorithms have used synthetic communication patterns, such as uniform and transpose traffic, to compare the performance of various adaptive routing algorithms with each other and with oblivious routing. These comparisons have shown that the average me...

P300 latency is commonly thought to provide a chronometric index of the duration of perceptual processing. Because the evidence in favor of this assumption is controversial, we examined whether P300 latency is influenced by perceptual processes, response selection, and by motoric processes in two experiments using a two-choice spatial stimulus-response compatibility (SRC) task. Both experiments...
