Power and heat density of integrated circuits (ICs) are rising exponentially over the years. The overheating of ICs leads to higher cost of cooling and packaging as well as reliability concerns and shorter lifetime. While existing task-partitioning based approaches are promising for reducing peak temperature in uniprocessor systems, there are no previous efforts in exploring temperature-aware t...

We calculate partition coefficients of various chain anchors in liquid-ordered and liquid-disordered phases utilizing a theoretical model of a bilayer membrane containing cholesterol, dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine, and dioleoylphosphatidylcholine. The partition coefficients are calculated as a function of chain length, degree of saturation, and temperature. Partitioning depends on the differe...

In this paper we present statistical timing driven hMetisbased partitioning. We approach timing driven partitioning from a different perspective: we use the statistical timing criticality concept to change the partitioning process itself. We exploit the hyperedge coarsening scheme of the hMetis partitioner for our timing minimization purpose. This allows us to perform partitioning such that the...

First-principles calculations based on a plane-wave pseudopotential method, as implemented in the VASP code, are presented for the formation energies of several transition-metal and non-transition-metal dopants in Ti–Al alloys. Substitution for either Ti or Al in g-TiAl, a2-Ti3Al, Ti2AlC, and Ti3AlC are considered. Calculated szero-temperatured defect formation energies exhibit clear trends as ...

The partitioning of a homologous series of n-alkyl p-aminobenzoates into the lipid bilayer is dependent not only on their physicochemical properties but also on liposome type. Partitioning studies with this homologous series demonstrate the effect of alkyl chain length on partitioning in DPPC multilamellar liposomes (MLV) and DPPC MLV extruded through 1 or 0.4 pm polycarbonate filters. A genera...

Cephalexin is an important antibiotic. It is very significant to determine an appropriate method for the extraction of this valuable antibiotic for industrial applications. Aiming at developing an efficient method for the extraction of cephalexin, the partitioning of cephalexin has been evaluated in aqueous two-phase system, including cholinium chloride and potassium phosphate. The effect of th...

The partitioning of the n-alkyl-p-aminobenzoates into the lipid bilayer is dependent not only on their physicochemical properties, but also on temperature and bilayer composition. Partitioning studies with this homologous series demonstrate the effect of alkyl chain length on partitioning in pure DPPC liposomes at 23 and 50°C and in DPPC : Chol liposomes at 23°C. A general trend is observed whe...

The temperature dependence of the partition coefficients of a neuropeptide, substance P (SP), in isotropic acidic bicelles was investigated by using a pulsed field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance diffusion technique. The addition of negatively charged dimyristoylphosphatidylserine to the neutral bicelle changed the SP partitioning a little, which implies that the hydrophobic interaction bet...
