This paper presents a new approach to global clock distribution in which traditional tree-driven grids are augmented with onchip inductors to resonate the clock capacitance at the fundamental frequency of the clock node. Rather than being dissipated as heat, the energy of the fundamental resonates between electric and magnetic forms. The clock drivers must only provide the energy necessary to o...

as it rises in b to enter c above the midline, etc. It can be easily seen that a similar oscillation about the midline takes place in the rotating fluid annulus of Figure 4a and in the more general situation of Figure 4b. These oscillations can be made quite small by adjusting the density of the buffer to match the particle density and by speeding up the rate of buffer flow to shorten the perio...

Excessive calcium is thought to be a critical step in various neurodegenerative processes including ischemia. Calbindin D28k (CB), calretinin (CR), and parvalbumin (PV), members of the EF-hand calcium-binding protein family, are thought to play a neuroprotective role in various pathologic conditions by serving as a buffer against excessive calcium. The expression of CB, PV and CR in the ischemi...

Traditionally, working memory is held to comprise separate subcomponents dedicated to the temporary storage of visuospatial and verbal information. More recently, the addition of an episodic buffer has been proposed where information from multiple memory systems is integrated. We report an experiment designed to investigate the effects of providing additional visuospatial information in a verba...

The database technology is an adequate environment for the interaction. It may concern severalcomponents of the DBMS: (a) the data, (b) the queries, (c) the optimization techniques and (d) the devices. Atthe data level, correlations between attributes are extremely common in the real world relational data, and havebeen exploited to define materialized views and indexes. At the query...

In order to monitor the pipe thinning caused by flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC) that occurs in coolant piping systems, a shear horizontal ultrasonic pitch-catch waveguide technique was developed for accurate pipe wall thickness monitoring. A clamping device for dry coupling contact between the end of the waveguide and pipe surface was designed and fabricated. A computer program for multichanne...

paratus is the dimension of the elution cham ber; if a large chamber is employed, dilution of solute occurs thus resulting in broadening of the elution patterns, while with a narrow chamber elution is frequently interrupted by the swelling of gel during operation. In many cases, either upward or downward elution has been employed and this leads to com plication of the apparatus. This communi ca...
