introduction: pulmonary tuberculosis is major problem worldwide and it is estimated one third the world population are already infected and each year 9 million people develop full blown tuberculosis of these 3 million die of the disease, annually. delay in diagnosis and treatment are major problems that play a significant role in all aspect of the disease from patient treatment to transmission ...

Los juicios finales, el último y más ambicioso libro de crítica Peter Elmore, es una contribución fundamental al estudio del campo cultural e intelectual peruano en la segunda mitad siglo XX. Sustentado minuciosa reconstrucción bibliográfica, establece que hallazgo ciclo mítico Inkarri entre 1955 1956 fue origen visión letrada difundida influyente las mentalidades andinas. A partir este descubr...

The delays at all sink nodes were measured using the two-pole circuit sim-ulator proposed by Zhou et al. 17] and discussed in 3]. This simulator is a computationally eecient code which has produced very accurate results (within a few percent) when tested against SPICE. We consider both the average delay (taken over all sinks) and the worst-case delay (i.e., the latest arrival time of the signal...

Existing routing problems for delay minimization consider the connection of a single source node to a number of sink nodes, with the objective of minimizing the delay from the source to all sinks, or a set of critical sinks. In this paper, we study the problem of routing nets with multiple sources, such as those found in signal busses. This new model assumes that each node in a net may be a sou...

As part of the overall ground-based calibration of the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) instrument an extensive set of polarimetric calibrations were performed. This paper describes the polarimetric design of the instrument, the test setup, the polarimetric model, the tests performed, and some results. It is demonstrated that HMI achieves an accuracy of 1% or better on the crosstalks betw...

Primary health care (PHC) is recognised as an efficient, effective and equitable approach to health service delivery and successful PHC is integral to a sustainable and accountable healthcare system, and ultimately improved population health outcomes. Internationally there is a move towards strengthening and improving the quality of PHC. Nowhere is this more important than in rural and remote a...

In this paper, we propose a global routing algorithm for multi-layer building-block layouts. The algorithm is based on successive ripup and rerouting while satisfying edge capacity constraints as well as achieving higher routability and good routing flexibility. The init i a l solution consists of nets routed independently b y the SERT-C algorithm which minimizes the Elmore delay at critical si...

As the size of the integrated circuits become smaller with higher speed of operation, the RLC interconnect effects have greater impact on signal propagation and signal integrity issue that is reflected in terms of noise or cross talk effects and giving rise to delay, ringing, glitches and overshoot, undershoot or false signaling problems etc. (figure-1, [7]). These definitely impose a great cha...

An interconnect joining a source and a sink is divided into xed length uniform width wire segments and some adjacent segments have bu ers in between The problem we considered is to simultaneously size the bu ers and the segments so that the Elmore delay from the source to the sink is minimized Previously no polynomial time al gorithm for the problem has been reported in literature In this paper...
