We present a method for pipeline verification using SMT solvers. It is based on a non-deterministic “mother pipeline” machine (MOP) that abstracts the instruction set architecture (ISA). The MOP vs. ISA correctness theorem splits naturally into a large number of simple subgoals. This theorem reduces proving the correctness of a given pipelined implementation of the ISA to verifying that each of...

Objective. The aim of this study was to investigate quality and safety of supplemental intraoral anesthesia periodontal ligament anaesthesia (PDL) and intraseptal anaesthesia (ISA) after computer-controlled articaine delivery. Method. 54 ASA I volunteers randomly divided into 2 groups participated in this study. 0.4 ml of 4% articaine with 1:100.000 epinephrine were randomly administered with c...

The rapid expansion of impervious surface areas (ISA) threatens soil organic carbon (SOC) pools in urbanized areas globally. The paucity of field observations on SOC under ISA (SOCISA), especially in dryland areas has limited our ability to assess the ecological impacts of ISA expansion. Based on systematically measured SOCISA (0-80 cm depth) of a dryland city, and land-use and land-cover chang...

Eggs from 31-wk-old ISA-White and ISA-Brown hens were sampled immediately after lay and after periods of storage of 1, 3, 5, and 10 d at room temperature. Longer periods of storage resulted in lower albumen weight and albumen height and higher albumen pH. Eggs from ISA-Brown hens had more albumen and shell than those from ISA-White hens, likely due to differences in selection history rather tha...

Data from the U.S. Defense Meteorological Satellite Program’s Operational Line-scan System are often used to map impervious surface area (ISA) distribution at regional and global scales, but its coarse spatial resolution and data saturation produce high inaccuracy in ISA estimation. Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (SNPP) Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite’s Day/Night Band (VIIR...

T paper develops methods to determine appropriate staffing levels in call centers and other many-server queueing systems with time-varying arrival rates. The goal is to achieve targeted time-stable performance, even in the presence of significant time variation in the arrival rates. The main contribution is a flexible simulation-based iterative-staffing algorithm (ISA) for the Mt/G/st + G model...

The present study was conducted to investigate the variation in the lipid profile between Egyptian breed Fayoumi and commercial strain ISA-Brown. Forty 32-wk-old ISA-Brown and thirty-five 36-wk-old Fayoumi were housed individually in separated layer cages in opensystem housing. Four weeks later, Body weight was recorded and egg weight, number, and composition were measured. In addition, lipid p...
