We investigate the role of ram pressure stripping in the Virgo cluster using N-body simulations. Radial orbits within the Virgo cluster's gravitational potential are modeled and analyzed with respect to ram pressure stripping. The N-body model consists of 10 000 gas cloud complexes which can have inelastic collisions. Ram pressure is modeled as an additional acceleration on the clouds located a...

High capacity Last Level Cache (LLC) architectures have been proposed to mitigate the widening processor-memory speed gap. These LLC architectures have been realized using DRAM or SpinTransfer-Torque Random Access Memory (STT-RAM) memory technologies. It has been shown that STT-RAM LLC provides improved energy efficiency compared to DRAM LLC. However, existing STT-RAM LLC suffers from increased...

Non-volatile resistive memories, such as phase-change RAM (PRAM) and spin transfer torque RAM (STT-RAM), have emerged as promising candidates because of their fast read access, high storage density, and very low standby power. Unfortunately, in scaled technologies, high storage density comes at a price of lower reliability. In this article, we first study in detail the causes of errors for PRAM...

For ram-gill ventilators such as tunas and mackerels (family Scombridae) and billfishes (families Istiophoridae, Xiphiidae), fusions binding the gill lamellae and filaments prevent gill deformation by a fast and continuous ventilatory stream. This study examines the gills from 28 scombrid and seven billfish species in order to determine how factors such as body size, swimming speed, and the deg...

Based on results of prior trials (TAGS, REGARD, RAINBOW), it seems promising to combine Ramucirumab (Ram) beyond progression (PD) with TAS-102 (trifluridine/tipiracil). The purpose RE-ExPEL is investigate the tolerability, safety and benefit Ram PD in combination advanced esophagogastric adenocarcinoma (EGA). This a multicenter, non-randomized, open-label investigator initiated pilot trial. 20 ...

Abstract Despite the decreases in temperature and permeability of oceanic plates with increasing age, hydrothermal circulation (HC) can be rejuvenated 130-Ma old Pacific plate vicinity Japan Trench, substantially affecting thermal structure remaining amount magnetization (RAM). To decipher roles HC RAM, vigor extent Trench should quantitatively evaluated. Here we numerically show that is outer-...

To enable the design of large capacity memory structures, novel memory technologies such as non-volatile memory (NVM) and novel fabrication approaches, e.g., 3D stacking and multi-level cell (MLC) design have been explored. The existing modeling tools, however, cover only a few memory technologies, technology nodes and fabrication approaches. We present DESTINY, a tool for modeling 2D/3D memori...

Post-embryonic root growth relies on the proliferative activity of the root apical meristem (RAM), consisting, in part, of cells with juvenile characteristics (stem cells). It is generally, but erroneously held that the RAM indefinitely produces new cells throughout the lifespan of a plant, resulting in indeterminate root growth. On the contrary, convincing data, mainly from the lab of Thomas L...

BACKGROUND In order to rapidly assess nutrient intake, Food Frequency Questionnaires (FFQ) have been developed and proven to be reliable for quick, user friendly analysis in adults. However, the accuracy of these questionnaires in children has been studied to a limited extent. The aim of this study was to compare the daily calcium intake values obtained from the Rapid Assessment Method (RAM), a...

Learning and memory impairments are present in schizophrenia (SZ) throughout the illness course and predict psychosocial function. Abnormalities in prefrontal and hippocampal function are thought to contribute to SZ deficits. The radial arm maze (RAM) is a test of spatial learning and memory in rodents that relies on intact prefrontal and hippocampal function. The goal of the present study was ...
