Microsoft Word - TPDS-V10

The integration of software services-oriented architecture (SOA) and hardware multiprocessor system-on-chip (MPSoC) has been pursued for several years. However, designing and implementing a service-oriented system for diverse applications on a single chip has posed significant challenges due to the heterogeneous architectures, programming interfaces, and software tool chains. To solve the probl...

CryptoBytes 3.2 v10

In our opinion, the Foundations of Cryptography are the paradigms, approaches and techniques used to conceptualize, define and provide solutions to natural cryptographic problems. We survey some of these paradigms, approaches and techniques as well as some of the fundamental results obtained using them. Special effort is made in attempt to dissolve common misconceptions regarding these paradigm...

We present laser-induced fluorescence velocimetry measurements obtained using the Xe I 6s[3/2]2 → 6p[3/2]2 transition at 823.4 nm (vacuum) and the Xe I 6s’[1/2]1 → 6p’[3/2]2 transition at 834.9 nm (vacuum) from the inside and in the near-field plume of a 6-kW Hall thruster. The thruster is operated under seven conditions with discharge voltages ranging from 150 to 600 V, and anode mass flow rat...

Endosonographic staging for N1 disease.

I congratulate Dooms et al 1 on their important study recently published in CHEST (January 2015) that investigated the role of endosonography for mediastinal nodal staging in patients with operable and resectable lung cancer and suspicion of N1 involvement based on CT and PET imaging. To my surprise, the sensitivity of endosonography to detect N2 disease was only 38%, with a negative predictive...
