In this paper the code generation for an open environment supporting heterogenous system design is discussed. The approach uses the CASE data interchange format CDIF as a separation layer between modeling tools and backend tools like analysis, simulation and code generation. In detail the structure of a software prototype for rapid prototyping purpose is presented including the dynamic generati...

This brief presents a new, simple method of measuring the generation lifetime in silicon-on-insulator (SOI )MOSFET’s. Lifetime is extracted from the transient characteristics of MOSFET subthreshold current. Using this technique, generation lifetime was mapped across finished Separation by IMplantation of OXygen (SIMOX) wafers and Bonded and Etchedback SOI (BESOI) wafers. BESOI material evaluate...

Background: Generation of an effective dendritic cell (DC) based cancer vaccine depends on appropriate differentiation of monocytes in vitro. Objective: To compare the effects of monocyte separation methods, flask adherence (Flask-DC) and magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS-DC), on phenotypic and functional characteristics of resultant DCs. Methods: DCs from healthy volunteers were generated ...

This paper presents recent progress in research examining the mechanisms of voice generation and a method for physiologically-based speech synthesis. The overarching goal of this research is the precise modeling of interactions among physical systems involved in the processes underlying voice generation. In the basic voice generation system, a flow-structure interaction between glottal flow and...

Electrospun nanofber membranes (ENMs) are new generation of membranes with many favorable properties such as high flux and low pressure drop. Although electrospinning has been known for more than a century, its applications in fltration and separation processes are relatively new. Electrospinning has provided the means to produce ultrathin fbers – as thin as a few nanome...

Solid waste management has been known to play an important role in public health and the environmental status of developing countries. Waste assessment can help researchers and governors in management programs and devising alternative plans in order to improve public health and economical savings. In the present study, statistical estimations regarding waste generation and type of solid wastes ...

Gas turbines must now comply with much stricter emission control regulations. In fact, to combat the greenhouse effect, regulatory authorities have drastically reduced allowable levels. For example, in less than 12 years, United States’ Clean Air Act issued New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), which tightened NOx margin of natural gas combustion (from 75 ppm 10 ppm). On other hand, despite ...

This paper describes ST (StringTemplate), a domain-specific functional language for generating structured text from internal data structures that has the flavor of an output grammar. ST’s feature set is driven by solving real problems encountered in complicated systems such as ANTLR version 3’s retargetable code generator. Features include template group inheritance, template polymorphism, lazy...
