The emergence of multi-core and many-core architectures in embedded systems has increased the energy and thermal challenges faced by such systems. As the technology for microprocessors moves toward the nanometer scale, power density becomes one of the major constraints to the performance improvement of embedded processors. Realtime embedded signal processing tasks on multi-core systems have a h...

In current day microprocessors, exponentially increasing power densities, leakage, cooling costs, and reliability concerns have resulted in temperature becoming a first class design constraint like performance and power. Hence, virtually every high performance microprocessor uses a combination of an elaborate thermal package and some form of Dynamic Thermal Management (DTM) scheme that adaptive...

Distributed Transactional Memory (DTM) aims at introducing a novel programming paradigm combining the simplicity of Transactional Memory (TM)[11] with the scalability and failure resiliency achievable by exploiting the resource redundancy of distributed platforms. These features make the DTM model particularly attractive for inherently distributed application domains such as Cloud computing or ...

This paper describes an approach to single image automatic orientation and point determination by using current ortho-images and a DTM, and the experience gained in its implementation. The procedure proposed automatically extracts and matches feature points in evenly distributed patches on aerial images and ortho-images. A large number of image measurements (up to several thousand) are obtained...

Distributed Transactional Memory (DTM) is an attractive programming paradigm that aims at combining the simplicity of Transactional Memory (TM) with the scalability and failure resiliency achievable by exploiting the resource redundancy of distributed platforms. In these in-memory distributed platforms replication plays a role of paramount importance both for fault-tolerance and performance rea...

As disfunções temporomandibulares (DTM) são condições biológicas que envolvem sinais e sintomas como dores crônicas na articulação temporomandibular nos músculos da mastigação. O presente estudo tem objetivo identificar quais conceitos psicológicos descritos em artigos de intervenções odontológicas relacionadas à DTM, revisão sistemática. Para isto foram utilizadas três bases dados busca seleçã...

Digital tomosynthesis mammography (DTM) can provide quasi-3D structural information of the breast by reconstructing the breast volume from projection views (PV) acquired in a limited angular range. Our purpose is to design an effective classifier to distinguish breast masses from normal tissues in DTMs. A data set of 100 DTM cases collected with a GE first generation prototype DTM system at the...

Airborne laser scanning (ALS) has become an established tool for acquiring digital terrain models (DTM) in forested areas. Even though, there have been several empirical studies on DTM quality with laser scanning, a few studies have focused on factors affecting the quality of DTM generation. This paper analyses especially the effects of the date, flight altitude, pulse mode, terrain slope, fore...

OBJECTIVE Aged garlic extract (AGE) is associated with a significant decrease in atherosclerotic plaque progression and endothelial function improvement. Similarly, coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) has significant beneficial effects on endothelial function. A stressful lifestyle is a well-known risk factor for the presence and progression of atherosclerosis. This study investigated the effect of AGE plus C...
