Subthreshold circuits are shown to be the best candidate for satisfying the ultra-low power demand of battery-operated systems having moderate throughput. However, exponential increase in driver resistance in subthreshold region and increased global interconnect capacitance will become a major hurdle in improving the speed of subthreshold interconnects. Improving the speed of such low power cir...

Infection caused by Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) is common in patients with immunosuppression, such as AIDS, and deficiencies of gamma interferon and interleukin-12, as well as patients with chronic lung diseases. Treatment of MAC disease is limited since few drugs show in vivo activity. We tested a new bridged bicyclic macrolide, EDP-420, against MAC in vitro and in beige mice. EDP-420 wa...

The importance of the event-driven programming (EDP) paradigm is on the rise. While EDP has been been common in client-side applications since around 2000 (e.g. GUI development, JavaScript-driven web pages), it has only recently entered the mainstream in the settings of mobile computing (Android, 2008 [15]) and server-side programming (Node.js, 2009 [18]). The EDP paradigm is also a natural way...

In practice, the performance of structure is studied based on a seismic scenario composed independent single earthquakes. But in real life, subjected to multiple earthquakes during its typical design working which will produce an evolution damage with time.The main purpose this paper quantify liquefaction-induced embankment due sequential defined life. Moreover, non-parametric survival analysis...

With the ever-increasing energy-efficiency requirements for computing platforms at edge, precision tuning techniques highlight possibility of improving efficiency floating-point computations by selectively lowering intermediate operations without affecting accuracy final result. Recent trends also demonstrated successfully employing fixed-point in place ones to further optimize high-performance...

BACKGROUND Glycolysis breakdowns glucose into essential building blocks and ATP/NAD(P)H for the cell, occupying a central role in its growth and bio-production. Among glycolytic pathways, the Entner Doudoroff pathway (EDP) is a more thermodynamically favorable pathway with fewer enzymatic steps than either the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway (EMPP) or the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway (OPP...

Structural damage can be controlled in performance based seismic design (PBSD) according to the requirement under a certain hazard level. During strong ground motion (GM) such buildings suffer minor to major damages depending on the shaking level of GM. The available damage assessment methods are complex, tedious and time-consuming procedure. In the present study, a simplified empirical model h...

This paper discusses the performance of a hybrid system which consists of EDP and GP. EDP, Estimation of Distribution Programming, is the program evolution method based on the probabilistic model, where the probability distribution of a program is estimated by using a Bayesian network, and a population evolves repeating estimation of distribution and program generation without crossover and mut...
