Integrating tools implemented as plug-ins is a complex and time-consuming activity that requires good programming skills and a deep understanding of the underlying plug-in architecture for successful completion. Even when tools are implemented as plug-ins for a same integrated development environment (IDE), users frequently prefer to manually perform the same inefficient operations every time t...

In this work, we optimise the Android IO stack for user-level filesystem. Android imposes user-level filesystem over native filesystem partition to provide flexibility in managing the internal storage space and to maintain host compatibility. The overhead of user-level filesystem is prohibitively large and the native storage bandwidth is significantly under-utilised. We overhauled the FUSE laye...

Effects of some important parameters like impactor effects, plug geometry and initiation points on bonding aluminum tubes to aluminum plugs were studied. The impact velocity and dynamic angle between tube and plug should be precisely managed to achieve an optimum bonding condition. A new explosive bonding technique with the use of two material impactors was proposed. Results are especially suit...

ranscription factor JunB negatively regulates proliferation in several cell types. But Kenner et al. (page 613) show that JunB, which acts as one-half of an AP-1 dimer, is a positive regulator of both osteo-blast and osteoclast proliferation and differentiation. In the process they have produced a new animal model for studying osteoporosis. As JunB is essential for placenta formation, the autho...

Since its inception the memristive fuse has been a good example of how small numbers of memristors can be combined to obtain useful behaviours unachievable by individual devices. In this work, we link the memristive fuse concept with that of the Complementary Resistive Switch (CRS), exploit that link to experimentally demonstrate a practical memristive fuse using T iOx-based ReRAM cells and exp...
