A new device is presented for the combinatorial analysis of complex nano-scale material systems. The parallel nano-differential scanning calorimeter (PnDSC) is a micro-machined array of calorimetric cells. This new approach to combinatorial calorimetry greatly expedites the analysis of nano-scale material thermal properties. A power-compensation differential scanning calorimetry measurement is ...

This paper describes our experience with profiling and optimizing physical locality for the distributed shared cache (DSC) in Tilera’s Tile multicore processor. Our approach uses the Tile Processor’s hardware performance measurement counters (PMCs) to acquire page-level access pattern profiles. A key problem we address is imprecise PMC interrupts. Our profiling tools use binary analysis to corr...

Prednisolone is a safe antiinflammatory agent for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. To improve the aqueous solubility of the drug and dissolution rate, the complexation of prednisolone with skimmed milk was studied. A physical mixture and solid dispersion of prednisolone with skimmed milk were prepared. The lyophilization method was used to prepare the solid dispersion. Detection of inclu...

E-mail address: [email protected] Supply chain management allows modern enterprises to relax their own capacities and produce in a more flexible manner for diversified consumer demands. However, for an enterprise with divergent supply chain (DSC) and multiple product lines, to plan t...

INTRODUCTION: Dynamic susceptibility contrast MRI (DSC-MRI) is a novel tool that has shown promise to increase the predictive power of diagnostic imaging, for example in the assessment of brain tumor grade [1]. Alterations in microvascular parameters such as blood volume and vascular permeability induced by pathological angiogenesis are detectable with DSC-MRI. However, the basic assumptions of...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The usefulness of arterial spin-labeling for the evaluation of the effect of the antiangiogenic therapy has not been elucidated. Our aim was to evaluate the antiangiogenic effect of bevacizumab in a rat glioblastoma model based on arterial spin-labeling perfusion MR imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS DSC and arterial spin-labeling perfusion MR imaging were performed by usin...

The deep superior colliculus (DSC) integrates multisensory input and triggers an orienting movement toward the source of stimulation (target). It would seem reasonable to suppose that input of an additional modality should always increase the amount of information received by a DSC neuron concerning a target. However, of all DSC neurons studied, only about one half in the cat and one-quarter in...
