To enforce laws and treaties that protect endangered tree species, federal agents first have to recognize those species when they come across wood suspect came from illegal logging operations. A US Fish Wildlife Service lab has spent a decade developing mass spectrometry approach rapidly identify by species. Now the scientists are taking it on road. Some years ago, David Gehl made an unusual tr...

Experiments to determine the potential for program-level and/or phase-level adaptation of branch predictor configuration for the purpose of total processor energy savings were performed. The performance and energyefficiency of an 8-wide issue, out-of-order processor with six different branch predictors were evaluated on the SPECcpu2000 benchmark suite. Each branch predictor was compared to the ...

New building projects have increasingly been offering publicly accessed outdoor spaces, transforming the interfaces between and city into soft edges. This approach is especially evident in latest Copenhagen. design apprehension considered to be relation increasing emphasis on public space, changing roles of private entities production maintenance urban policies Copenhagen as well inclusive desi...

Data in this issue of Diabetes (p. 1981) show differences in the sensitivity of vascular and metabolic tissues to obesity-related loss of diurnal variation. It has been demonstrated in transgenic mouse models that mutation of core clock genes can lead to obesity, and diet-induced obesity (DIO) in wild-type mice has been shown to lead to secondary blunting of rhythmic clock gene transcription in...

The urban landscape undergoes constant transformations with the dynamics of cities that (re) produce spaces. Understanding this dynamic and its results emerges from need to understand their inhabitants, places more equitable resilient society. In spatial organization cities, green predominance play an important role for relationship between memory, quality life departing natural elements, affec...

Electroporation is a technique in which, under the influence of electric field, the permeability of the cell membrane increases due to the formation of pores in the cell membrane, providing pathways for molecular transport (Abidor et al. 1979, Neumann et al. 1998, Tsong 1991, Weaver and Chizmadzhev 1989, Zimmermann 1982). As electroporation is usually evaluated by indirect indications (Gehl and...

introduction recently, the presence of residents and their behavior in the urban space have become so important that manycontemporary urban theorists view the presentera as the “turn of urban space and what is happening in it”. the importance of urban behaviors and activities could be discussed from different points of view. in the contemporary literature of urban design, the mutual interaction...
