I n the past, energy-aware computing was primarily associated with mobile and embedded computing platforms. Servers—high-end, multiprocessor systems running commercial workloads—typically included extensive cooling systems and resided in custom-built rooms for high-power delivery. In recent years, however, as transistor density and demand for computing resources have rapidly increased, even hig...

Pilon fractures are distal tibia end fractures affecting the weight-bearing articular surface. They represent around 1% of all lower extremity fractures, and are more common in males between 35 and 40 years of age.1 Such injuries may be caused by highor low-energy mechanisms. Axial compression injuries where the talus impacts on the distal articular surface, causing implosion of the tibial plaf...

The increasing availability and affordability of wireless building and home automation networks has increased interest in residential and commercial building energy management. This interest has been coupled with an increased awareness of the environmental impact of energy generation and usage. Residential appliances and equipment account for 30% of all energy consumption in OECD countries and ...

The Smart Grid vision imposes a new approach towards energy supply that is more affordable, reliable and sustainable. The core of this new vision is the use of advanced technology to monitor power system dynamics in real time and identify system in stability. In order to implement strategic vision for energy management, it is possible to identify three main areas of investigation such as smart ...
