With the rapid advancement of CMOS technologies, nano-scale latches have become increasingly sensitive to multiple-node upset (MNU) errors caused by radiations. First, this paper proposes a novel latch design, namely QNUTL that can completely tolerate MNUs such as double-node upsets, triple-node upsets (TNUs), and even quadruple-node (QNUs). The is mainly constructed from three dual-interlocked...

Hadoop MapReduce framework is an important distributed processing model for large-scale data intensive applications. The current Hadoop and the existing Hadoop distributed file system’s rack-aware data placement strategy in MapReduce in the homogeneous Hadoop cluster assume that each node in a cluster has the same computing capacity and a same workload is assigned to each node. Default Hadoop d...

In this paper, an atomistic based finite element model is developed to investigate the influence of topological defects on mechanical properties of graphene. The general in-plane stiffness matrix of the hexagonal network structure of graphene is found. Effective elastic modulus of a carbon ring is determined from the equivalence of molecular potential energy related to stretch and angular defor...

The determination of evolution type plays an important role in securing the accurate and efficient evolution of service composition. Based on the applied level in the evolution of service composition, using openbisimulation theory, evolution type can be decided from three dimensions, which are respectively single state node, single service and service composition, and the determination rule as ...

In this work we optimize administrative link costs of IP networks in such a way that the maximum utilization of all links is as low as possible for a set of considered failure scenarios (e.g., all single link failures). To that aim, we present the new "hill hopping" heuristic with three different variants and compare their computation times and the quality of their results. We adapt the objecti...

Wireless sensor networks(WSN) have unique properties that distinguished them from other wireless networks and have special challenges. Not-chargeable, not-changeable and limited power supplies of sensor nodes is the most important challenge of this networks, and if the power supply of node expired, a part of data maybe lost. Because of the importance of covers in wireless sensors, in this work ...

lymph node status remains an important prognostic indicator for survival in breast cancer. sentinel lymph node biopsy has become the standard method of assessment of clinically node negative breast cancers. economic implications as well as patient related factors have lead to the development a number of intra-operative techniques. review of the emerging trends in the last 4 years show that alth...

abstract castleman disease or giant node hyperplasia is a rare disorder of the lymphoid tissue most often involving the mediastinal lymph nodes. we report a case of localized retroperitoneal hyaline-vascular type of castleman disease. a 35-year old woman presented with mild epigastric pain with radiation to the back. amild anemia was the only abnormal associated finding. abdominal ultrasound an...

In many existing Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) inter-domain deployments (based on RFC 4762), pseudowire (PW) connectivity offers no Provider Edge (PE) node redundancy, or offers PE node redundancy with only a single domain. This deployment approach incurs a high risk of service interruption, since at least one domain will not offer PE node redundancy. This document describes an inter-domai...
