“I was invited by Isa to his house to have lunch with his mother and siblings. ‘My sisters will love you. You are a good role model for them. I want them to study, like you,” he said to me to convince me to go to the lunch. His father was disappeared by the security forces in 1992 when Isa was 14 years old and his youngest brother was just couple of months old, and his family was forced by the ...

Dynamic information flow tracking is a well-known dynamic software analysis technique with a wide variety of applications that range from making systems more secure, to helping developers and analysts better understand the code that systems are executing. Traditionally, the fine-grained analysis capabilities that are desired for the class of these systems which operate at the binary level requi...

OBJECTIVES To compare the dose intensity and toxicity profiles for patients undergoing chemotherapy at the Townsville Cancer Centre (TCC), a tertiary cancer centre in northern Queensland, with those for patients treated in Mount Isa, supervised by the same medical oncologists via teleoncology. DESIGN A quasi-experimental design comparing two patient groups. SETTING TCC and Mount Isa Hospita...

Epsilon-poly-L-lysine (epsilon-PL), produced by Streptomyces or Kitasatospora strains, is a homo-poly-amino acid of Llysine, which is used as a safe food preservative. The present study investigates the combined use of cell immobilization and in situ adsorption (ISA) to produce epsilon-PL in shaken flasks. Loofah sponge-immobilized Streptomyces ahygroscopicus GIM8 produced slightly more epsilon...

Verifying the functional correctness of a processor requires a sound and complete specification of its Instruction Set Architecture (ISA). Current industrial practice is to describe a processor’s ISA informally using natural language often with added semi-formal notation to capture the functional intent of the instructions. This leaves scope for errors and inconsistencies. In this paper we pres...

This report makes the case that a well-designed Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) can match, and even exceed, the performance and code density of existing commercial Complex Instruction Set Computers (CISC) while maintaining the simplicity and cost-effectiveness that underpins the original RISC goals [12]. We begin by comparing the dynamic instruction counts and dynamic instruction bytes ...

In this invited talk, we characterize the approaches taken to form customized processors using combinations of programmable processors and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). We investigate these approaches by considering how and where customization takes place. We consider approaches to customize within a processors ISA, and external to the ISA. We also consider how processor customization...

Introduction MontanideTM ISA 51 VG and MontanideTM ISA 720 VG are adjuvants dedicated to human therapeutic vaccines. The adjuvants are rendering stable water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions when mixed with water phase. In these formulations the active ingredients are entrapped in droplets of water surrounded by continuous oil phase. It allows a protection against degradation and slow release of the acti...
