Aleksandrov, Anderson and Nicolau have found examples of inner functions that are in the little Bloch space with a specific rate of convergence to zero. As a corollary they obtain positive singular measures defined in the boundary of the unit disc that are simoultaneously symmetric and Kahane. Nevertheless their construction is very indirect. We give an explicit example of such measures by mean...

Livedoid vasculopathy is a rare chronic relapsing disorder characterised by recurrent painful thrombotic and vasculitic ulcers on the legs. We present the cases of two Indian women with livedoid vasculopathy that were found to be associated with an underlying factor V Leiden heterozygous mutation. There were no other thrombotic manifestations, and livedoid vasculopathy was the sole presenting f...

The livedoid vasculopathy is an obstructive vascular process of etiology not yet fully known, being possibly associated with several prothrombotic events. It is clinically characterized by the presence of painful and recurring purpuric lesions, which usually suffer ulceration and evolve with formation of white atrophic scars usually located in the lower limbs. Two cases are here reported of pai...

Modern single-CPU microprocessors exploit instruction-level parallelism (ILP) by deriving their performance advantage mainly from parallel execution of ALU and memory instructions within a single clock cycle. This performance advantage obtained by exploiting data ILP is severely offset by sequential execution of conditional branches, especially in branch-intensive non-numerical code. Consequent...
