One of the key objectives in the realm of flexible electronics and flexible power sources is to achieve large-area, low-cost, scalable production of flexible systems. In this thesis we propose a new Li-ion battery architecture in a fiber form that could be the building block to large-area, conformal, flexible power sources, achieved through fiber thermal drawing. This architecture is based on t...

We have examined a collection of the free-living marine bacterium Alteromonas genomes with cores diverging in average nucleotide identities ranging from 99.98% to 73.35%, i.e., from microbes that can be considered members of a natural clone (like in a clinical epidemiological outbreak) to borderline genus level. The genomes were largely syntenic allowing a precise delimitation of the core and f...

Since 2005, chip manufacturers have stopped raising processor frequencies, which had been the primary mean to increase processing power since the end of the 90s. Other hardware techniques to improve sequential execution time (out-of-order processing, caches, branch prediction, etc.) have also shown diminishing returns, while raising the power envelope. For these reasons, commonly referred to as...

This paper proposed and evaluated a programmable ROADM system for MCF-based SDM/WDM networks. The employing both bypass connection Route-and-Select wavelength switching enables adaptable virtual topology in optical networks by dynamically configuring cores. simulation results confirmed this could provide acceptable performance with an around 10–20% reduction the total cost including number of p...

Increasing the number of cores integrated on a chip and the problems of system on chips caused to emerge networks on chips. NoCs have features such as scalability and high performance. NoCs architecture provides communication infrastructure and in this way, the blocks were produced that their communication with each other made NoC. Due to increasing number of cores, the placement of the cores i...
