Timing optimization is a critical component of deep submicrometer design and buffer insertion is an essential technique for achieving timing closure. This work studies buffer insertion under the constraint that the buffers either: 1) avoid blockages or 2) are contained within preassigned buffer bay regions. We propose a general Steiner-tree formulation to drive this application and present a ma...

Presented here is the first report describing the detection of potentially diarrheal Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains isolated from cultured bivalves on the Mediterranean coast, providing data on the presence of both tdh- and trh-positive isolates. Potentially diarrheal V. parahaemolyticus strains were isolated from four species of bivalves collected from both bays of the Ebro delta, Spain.

Submerged aquatic vegetation or “SAV” includes both flowering and non-flowering plants that grow completely underwater. In the Chesapeake Bay region, the term “SAV” usually refers to various rooted aquatic angiosperms or “underwater grasses” found growing in shallow areas ranging from high salinity to freshwater tidal environments. Approximately 20 species are commonly found throughout Chesapea...

Abstract. The paper presents the results of study water quality by sanitary-microbiological characteristics in littoral zone Lake Baikal and its tributaries July September 2022. It was found that number studied bacteria does not correlate with level lake, but is caused seasonal anthropogenic load. Exceedances standards summer period were detected area Kultuk settlement, Baikalsk town, Listvyank...

OBJECTIVES This study was designed to evaluate exposure levels of various chemicals used in wafer fabrication product lines in the semiconductor industry where work-related leukemia has occurred. METHODS The research focused on 9 representative wafer fabrication bays among a total of 25 bays in a semiconductor product line. We monitored the chemical substances categorized as human carcinogens...

BACKGROUND Carolina bays are elliptic, directionally aligned basins of disputed origin that occur on the Atlantic Coastal Plain from the Delmarva Peninsula to southern Georgia. In southeastern North Carolina, several large, natural, lacustrine systems (i.e., Carolina bay lakes) exist within the geomorphological features known as Carolina bays. Within the current distribution of Carolina bays, B...

Estuaries and bays have a long history as important locations for humanity, where societies civilizations thrived. The many sandy beaches within estuaries (BEBs), often in urban environments, provide critical habitats shoreline protection, well being recreation, environments. Due to their historic importance, are subject anthropogenic modification including: (1) dredging; (2) construction of po...

The problem of urban logistics operations in the context their impact on environment has become key challenge. Due to that, there been a growing interest increasing use alternative fuels, including electro-mobility. However, an important barrier utilisation electric freight vehicles (EFVs) is travel range and battery capacity. paper focused idea EFV improvement by implementation charging statio...

The Norwegian Coastal Current transports natural debris and plastic waste along the coastline. Deposition occurs in so-called wreck-bays includes floating debris, such as seaweed, driftwood volcanic pumice, increasing amounts of plastics during last decades. these bays is controlled by ocean currents, tidal movements, prevailing winds coastal morphology. We have compared soil profiles, analyzed...
