In this document the Instruction Set Architecture (ASI) simulation issue is discussed. Typical tradeoffs between Flexibility, Speed and Accuracy are shown. Based on hypothesis on Architecture approach (VLIW) and Applications of interest (DSP and Multimedia), this article presents a solution representing a challenging compromise in ASI simulation. A fast, accurate and flexible ASI simulation env...

Accumulating evidence suggests that anxiety sensitivity (fear of arousal-related sensations) plays an important role in many clinical conditions, particularly anxiety disorders. Research has increasingly focused on how the basic dimensions of anxiety sensitivity are related to various forms of psychopathology. Such work has been hampered because the original measure--the Anxiety Sensitivity Ind...

BACKGROUND Acne vulgaris is considered one of the most common disorders for which patients seek dermatologic care. In the current study, we evaluated efficacy of the 5% nicotinamide gel versus 2% clindamycin gel in the treatment of the mild-moderate acne vulgaris. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a randomized, controlled clinical trial that was performed in 2009-2010. Sixty female patients with...

In recent years, much attention has been paid to the behavior of passive microwave sea ice concentration (SIC) products for marginal ice zones. Based on the definition of ice edges from ship observations, we identified pseudo-ship observations (PSO) and generated PSO ice edges from twelve cloud-free moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) images. Two SIC products of the advanced m...

This study describes suicidal behavior in a cross-sectional sample of chronic pain patients and evaluates factors associated with increased risk for suicidal ideation. One hundred-fifty-three adults with nonmalignant pain (42% back pain) who were consecutively referred to a tertiary care pain center completed a Structured Clinical Interview for Suicide History, the McGill Pain Questionnaire, an...

OBJECTIVE The aim here is to examine the factorial structure, internal consistency, and concurrent validity of the Korean version of the Anxiety Sensitivity Index-3 (K-ASI-3) in student samples in Korea. Also, we investigated the cross-cultural differences in the Social Concerns factor. METHODS K-ASI-3 was administered to non clinical samples in Korea. Internal consistency, exploratory factor...

BACKGROUND Insecure attachment style relates to major depression in women, but its relationship to depression associated with childbirth is largely unknown. A new UK-designed measure, the Attachment Style Interview (ASI), has potential for cross-cultural use as a risk marker for maternal disorder. AIMS To establish there liability of the ASI across centres, its stability over a 9-month period...

This paper deals with hierarchical, multiple fieldbus-based architectures using four case studies that present some concepts reusable in developing the interconnections of intelligent sensors and actuators. The single-master, lowlevel fieldbusses considered involve (1) ASI (ActuatorSensor-Interface), which is an example of a lowest-level industrial interconnection; (2) NBIP (Nine-Bit Interproce...

Objective: Most previous studies investigating the relationship between visual perception and anxiety have found that anxiety-provoking stimuli are perceived as relatively larger in size. Thus, the present study used neutral stimuli to investigate the relationships among anxiety, anxiety sensitivity (AS), and visual perception in a group of male and female university students. Methods: The Visu...

Anxiety sensitivity (AS), the fear of sensations of anxious arousal based on beliefs about their harmful consequences, is increasingly recognized as a multidimensional construct. The recently developed Anxiety Sensitivity Index-3 [ASI-3; Taylor, S., Zvolensky, M., Cox, B., Deacon, B., Heimberg, R., Ledley, D. R., et al. (2007). Robust dimensions of anxiety sensitivity: Development and initial v...
