System-level design has a disadvantage in not knowing important aspects about the final layout. This is critical for SoC, where uncertainties in communication delay by very deep submicron effects cannot be neglected. This paper presents a layout-aware bus architecture (BA) synthesis algorithm for designing the communication sub-system of an SoC. BA synthesis includes finding bus topology and ro...

Sustainable forest management and conservation require understanding of underlying basic structural and competitive relationships. To gain insight into these relationships, we analyzed spatial continuity of tree basal area (BA) and crown projection area (CPA) on twelve 0.64-ha plots in four mixed bottomland hardwood stands in Louisiana, Arkansas, and Mississippi. Variogram range indicated that ...

Section 1 (Sec.1): Scaling factors Notes to Table 2: derivations of formulas to calculate predicted values of algebraicallyderived scaling factors Tables of empirically-derived scaling factors (for A, y, and ky ) and their confidence intervals Table S1.1: bA for broad interspecific sample (used in calculating predictions) Table S1.2: by for largest available sample (used in calculating predicti...

The grain-boundary character distribution (GBCD) of undoped MgO has been measured and compared with samples containing small concentrations of Ca, Sr, Ba, and Y. Auger electron spectroscopy measurements of intergranular fracture surfaces verified that Ca, Ba, and Y segregated anisotropically to grain boundaries (GBs). The segregation of Sr was not detected. The GBCDs of Ca, Ba, and Y doped MgO ...

The purpose of this research is to found the impact of built area and occupant number on winter gas consumption in the residential building sector of Iran, Shiraz.Sothe annually and monthly gas consumption data through 19 houses were analyzed to achieve the heating energy consumption and operation month.The average operation months of gas heating consumption were from first of November up to en...

Forest fungi provide recreational and economic services, as well ecosystem biodiversity. Wild mushroom yields are difficult to estimate; climatic conditions known trigger temporally localised yields, forest structure also affects productivity. In this work, we analyse the capacity of remotely sensed variables estimate wild biomass production in Mediterranean Pinus pinaster forests Soria (Spain)...

Subjects (n = 40) performed a delayed item recognition task for visually presented letters with three set sizes (1, 3 or 6 letters). Accuracy was close to ceiling at all set sizes, so we took set size as a proxy for WM load (i.e. the amount of information being maintained in WM). Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) signal associated with the delay period increased in a nearly linear fa...

K channels in the basolateral membrane of insect hindgut were studied using current fluctuation analysis and microelectrodes. Locust recta were mounted in Ussing-type chambers containing Cl-free saline and cyclic AMP (cAMP). A transepithelial K current was induced by raising serosal [K] under short-circuit conditions. Adding Ba to the mucosal (luminal) side under these conditions had no effect;...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the dimensions of the nasopharynx and the skeletal features—evaluated by cephalometric examination—of individuals with different morphological patterns. Methods: Were used cephalometric radiographs of 90 patients of both genders, aged 12 to 16 years, which were divided into three distinct groups, according to their morphological patterns, i.e....
