Modern microprocessors tend to use on-chip caches that are much smaller than the working set size ofmany interesting computations. In such situations, cache performance can be improved through selectivecaching, use of cache replacement policies where data fetched from memory, although forwarded to theCPU, is not necessarily loaded into the cache. This paper introduces a selectiv...

many environmental and physiological factors affect plant temperature. the objective of this study was to use thermal imagery to investigate robust features for early diagnosis of botrytis cinerea infection in cut rose flowers under the postharvest application of methyl jasmonate (meja). three cases treated with different concentrations of meja (0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 µl.l−1), a control (0 µl.l−1 me...

directional simulation, among techniques for reliability analysis of engineering structures, is well known. in this context, directional simulation in load space, because of the considerable advantages of lower dimension of working space, is of considerable interest. as is expected due to structural resistance variability, the location of the relevant limit state(s) is no longer constant and mu...

[1] New images from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera show the distribution and geological relations of the Sculptured Hills, a geological unit widespread in the highlands between the Serenitatis and Crisium basins. The Sculptured Hills shows knobby, undulating, radially textured, and plains-like morphologies and in many places is indistinguishable from the similarly knobby Alpes Formatio...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder with a progressive template leading to neural damage as well as cognitive and memory deficit. The present study designed to investigate the neuroprotective effects of Centella Asiatica (CA) in STZ-induced rat model of memory impairment and neuronal damage. ICV infusion of STZ (3 mg/kg) or saline (as vehicle) were performed on days...

background: nitrogen oxides occur in the atmosphere in six forms of namely: n2o , no , no2 , n2o3, n2o4 and n2o5 .among these oxides no2 is the most important air pollutant because of its relatively high toxicity and its ubiquity in ambient air. in this research griess-saltzman method was utilized for determination of nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide in the atmosphere of different laboratories...
