Power supply noise in three-dimensional integrated circuits (3-D ICs) considering scaled CMOS and through silicon via (TSV) technologies is the focus of this paper. A TSV and inductance aware cell-based 3-D power network model is proposed and evaluated. Constant TSV aspect ratio and constant TSV area penalty scaling, as two scenarios of TSV technology scaling, are discussed. A comparison of pow...

BACKGROUND Age-related alterations of neuromuscular activation may contribute to deficits in muscle power and mobility function. This study assesses whether impaired activation of the agonist quadriceps and antagonist hamstrings, including amplitude- and velocity-dependent characteristics of activation, may explain differences in leg extension torque and power between healthy middle-aged, healt...

A four-way power divider/power combiner using substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) and microstrip lines is proposed and investigated. The proposed power divider consists of a double-layer substrate with a bottom layer including an SIW T-junction and a top layer including a microstrip network. This microstrip network consists of a modified Gysel power divider which provides a high isolation betw...

The article examines the evolution of Western patristics from Augustine to Gregory Great and Isidore Seville in a dual aspect: power discourse power. former draws on truth, “place” which, according Aristotle, is judgment, while latter represents policy pursued by government. this case implemented as spread Christian education. realized form decisions legislative acts authorities, guided Roman t...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of mild therapeutic exercise (treadmill) in preventing the inactivity-induced alterations in contractile properties (e.g., power, force, and velocity) of type I soleus single fibers in three different age groups. Young adult (5- to 12-mo-old), middle-aged (24- to 31-mo-old), and old (32- to 40-mo-old) F344BNF1 rats were randomly assigned ...
