Recently, thermal-aware digital circuit design in advanced technologies is great challenges to realize high-speed and robust microprocessors. In this paper, we explore temperature gradient alleviating method for arithmetic units. Aiming at alleviating temperature gradients at logical circuit design level, we try to flatten out a power density by applying delay-balancing technique for equaldelay...

Basic Problem: Heterogeneity What is it? Usually thought of as unmeasured risk factors. Can be induced when a relevant covariate is not included in the model’s specification. Maybe these factors are not measured (unmeasureable?) or are unknown to exist. Heterogeneity can lead to trouble insofar as parameter estimates can be inconsistent, standard errors can be wrong, and estimates of duration d...

The temperature at which in vitro electrophysiological experiments are performed varies widely between laboratories. Recently it was shown that the production of cytokines within brain slices is dependent upon incubation temperature (Blond et al. 2001). The pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1b (IL-1b) exerts a number of neuromodulatory effects in the CNS. Therefore the aim of our study was ...

This paper presents an approach of automatic annotation of sentences with dependency structures. The approach builds on the idea of cross-lingual dependency projection. The presented method of acquiring dependency trees involves a weighting factor in the processes of projecting source dependency relations to target sentences and inducing well-formed target dependency trees from sets of projecte...

Abstract: Reducing voltage to reduce energy consumption, referred to as conservation voltage reduction (CVR), can lead to energy savings. Calculating the effects of reducing voltage requires accurate load models. This paper investigates a load-voltage dependency factor that can be measured via field experiments using common existing instrumentation. A relationship between the load-voltage depen...

Social learning has been shown to be an evolutionarily adaptive strategy, but can be implemented via many different cognitive mechanisms. Sensitivity to statistical dependency in the behavior of other people is a factor that discriminates between possible mechanisms: simple rule based strategies may be unaffected by dependency, while more sophisticated social learning strategies should take it ...
