The narcosis target lipid model (TLM) was developed to predict the toxicity of chemicals to aquatic organisms that act via narcosis. It is based on the hypothesis that target lipid is the site of toxic action within the organism, that octanol is the appropriate surrogate, and that target lipid has the same physical-chemical properties in all organisms. Here the TLM is extended to available fres...

SystemC is a popular language used in modeling systemon-chip implementations. To support this task at a high level of abstraction, transaction-level modeling (TLM) libraries have been recently developped. While TLM libraries are useful, it is difficult to capture the reactive nature of certain transactions with the constructs currently available in the SystemC and TLM libraries. In this paper, ...

P-type Ti/Al-based contact vias of different sizes but identical processing were electrically characterized using linear transfer length method (TLM) patterns and metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistors. While the TLM MOS transistors with large follow ohmic behavior, Schottky properties observed for smaller via dimensions. Focused ion beam (FIB) analysis verified presence Ti 3 SiC 2 on 66 μ...

Dual scattering channel (DSC) schemes naturally extend the transmission line matrix (TLM) numerical method beyond the lines set up by P.B. Johns and coworkers. Conceptually, DSC schemes retain from TLM the typical formal splitting of the computed fields into incident and reflected components, interchanged and scattered between adjacent cells, without yet a need for transmission lines. They gene...

BACKGROUND We conducted a retrospective review of patients with unknown primary head and neck cancer who underwent a transoral laser microsurgery (TLM)-assisted search for an occult tumor. METHODS Fifty-two patients at a single center with unknown primaries of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) were treated with a surgical algorithm. RESULTS The overall rate of primary tumor identification was 7...

Although it is evident that sales of team licensed merchandise (TLM) contribute to the overall consumption of sport, research efforts that comprehensively describe what triggers the consumption of TLM is lacking (Lee, Trail, Kwon, & Anderson, 2011). Therefore, based on multiple theories (i.e., values theory, identity theory, attitude theory, and satisfaction theory) and other concepts that infl...

We in this paper propose a software TransactionLevel Modeling (TLM) approach to co-simulate HW/SW efficiently. To keep the concurrency in the simulated system, timing synchronization should be considered carefully in HW/SW co-simulation between hardware and software simulations. Nevertheless, improper timing synchronization leads to either poor simulation performance or inaccurate simulation re...

This paper considers the application of numerical techniques to modelling large 3D Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) electromagnetic problems in the time and frequency domains. The environment model consists of three material layers: air, sea and seabed. To represent a coastal region, the sea region is shallow with a variable depth and includes a sloping seabed. The electromagnetic source is a harm...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW To give an overview of the evolvement of transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) in the treatment of early glottic carcinoma and highlight the contribution of recent literature. RECENT FINDINGS The indications and limits of TLM have been well specified. Effects on swallowing have been well documented. Introduction of narrow-band imaging (NBI) and diffusion-weighted magnetic reson...
