A new model of Interphase Power Controller (IPC) for controlling active power is introduced in this paper. In this model, which is called VSC-based IPC, the voltage source converter (VSC) does the function of the phase shifting transformer (PST) in IPC. This new structure not only has the features of IPC, but also controls the output power effectively when the input power is changed by alternat...

The inflammatory paradental cyst (IPC) is a relatively rarely reported lesion arising from the lateral periodontium of vital teeth. However, IPC appear to be under-represented in registers of odontogenic cysts due to the misinterpretation of IPC as infected dentigerous cysts, in particular IPC originating from third molars. IPCs exhibit some temporospatial associations with tooth eruptions and ...

Remote tusking encompasses different functionality, such as remote forking, multiple remote spawning, and task migration. In order to overcome the relatively high costs of these mechunisms, optimizations can be upplied at various levels of the underlying operating system or application. Optimizations include concurrent message transmission, increased throughput and reduced latency at the distri...

Remote tasking encompasses different functionality, such as remote forking, multiple remote spawning, and task migration. In order to overcome the relatively high costs of these mechanisms, optimizations can be applied at various levels of the underlying operating system or application. Optimizations include concurrent message transmission, increased throughput and reduced latency at the distri...

In message based systems, interprocess communication (IPC) is a central facility. If the IPC part is ineffective in such a system, it will decrease the performance and response time. By implementing the IPC facility in hardware, the administration (scheduling, message handling, time-out supervising etc.), is reduced on the CPU , which leads to more time left for the application and a more deter...

The International Planning Competition (IPC) offers a wonderful scope to evaluate and compare different planning approaches and specific planner implementations in benchmark domains. In IPC 2011, the software generated for the competition permits to obtain a lot of data about the execution of all the planners in the different tracks in a simple way, which permits its recovery and use. In this w...

Already announced in 2007 for Sun’s Rock processor but later canceled, hardware transactional memory (HTM) finally found its way into general-purpose desktop and server systems and is soon to be expected for embedded and real-time systems. However, although current hardware implementations have their pitfalls, hindering an immediate adoption of HTM as a synchronization primitive for real-time o...

Background: Antioxidants such as α-tocopherol (vitamin E) and β-carotene (vitamin A) play an important role in protective effect of repeated brief periods of ischemia, namely ischemic preconditioning (IPC). Values of these antioxidants were investigated and compared after induction of ischemia reperfusion (IR) and kidney IPC in both male and female rats. Methods: Forty eight Wistar rats were di...
