Chairman’s Report on Symposium: “Toward Environment-Friendly Shipbuilding ‒ Part 3”

The 7th Leonard Berg Symposium, Part 3.

One question that pervaded the 7th Leonard Berg Symposium is whether dominantly inherited AD really is the same disease as the common late-onset forms that afflict some 35 million people around the globe, according to a recent report. “Can we generalize from FAD to all AD?” asked Martin Rossor of University College, London. The question is important in part because the interest drug developers ...

SYMPOSIUM Cardiac Arrhythmias (Part 3) The Sick Sinus Syndrome

course. All ages are affected and the diagnosis must be considered if there is a modest degree of sinus bradyeardia (SB), even if asymptomatic, as SB is less benign than was heretofore thought. Inappropriate or relatively slow sinus rates (RSSR) under stressful conditions are equally as important as SB. Inadequacy of the sinoatrial node (SAN) may be manifested by one or more of the following: (...

Toward Cache-Friendly Hardware Accelerators

Increasing demand for power-efficient, high-performance computing has spurred a growing number and diversity of hardware accelerators in mobile Systems on Chip (SoCs) as well as servers and desktops. Despite their energy efficiency, fixed-function accelerators lack programmability, especially compared with general-purpose processors. Today’s accelerators rely on software-managed scratchpad memo...
