This paper presents an interesting direction for using grid technique in SoC design. Its target is to build a synthetic platform called SoC-PSE to conquer major problems that designers encounter with the productivity gap between VLSI complexity and design productivity by realizing the sharing of IP cores and SoC design tools in complex network environment and facilitating the collaboration duri...

In the present study, the separation and purification characteristics of resveratrol from extract of peanut sprouts (PSE) on 11 macroporous adsorption resins were investigated. The results showed that ADS-5 offered better adsorption and desorption capacity for resveratrol than other tested resins. From the static experiments with ADS-5 resin, we found that the experimental data fitted best to t...

Previous studies have shown that self-esteem is an important predictor of subjective well-being. However, the majority of research has focused on self-esteem at the individual and the collective level, but has mostly ignored self-esteem at the relational level. According to social identity theory, individuals can maintain and enhance self-esteem through personal traits (personal self-esteem, PS...

In this work we tackle the problem of checking strong equivalence of logic programs that may contain local auxiliary atoms, to be removed from their stable models and to be forbidden in any external context. We call this property projective strong equivalence (PSE). It has been recently proved that not any logic program containing auxiliary atoms can be reformulated, under PSE, as another logic...

The inhibitory activity of the papaya seed extract (PSE) on Candida albicans (C. albicans) was determined by turbidimetry method. The inhibitory mechanisms were also evaluated from the prospective of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) decrease, and the activities of four complex enzymes in mitochondria respiratory chain. Results obtained from this s...

While color video endoscopy has enabled wide-field examination of the gastrointestinal tract, it often misses or incorrectly classifies lesions. Many of these missed lesions exhibit characteristic three-dimensional surface topographies. An endoscopic system that adds topographical measurements to conventional color imagery could therefore increase lesion detection and improve classification acc...

SPRINT2D is a set of software tools for solving time-dependent partial differential equations in two space variables. The software uses unstructured triangular meshes and adaptive error control in both space and time. This chapter describes the software and shows how the adaptive techniques may be used to increase the reliability of the solution procedure for a challenging combustion problem. T...

Because both articulatory rehearsal and attentional refreshing aid in the maintenance of verbal information in the short term, the present study evaluated the adaptive use of these mechanisms, using a complex span paradigm. In Experiment 1, the phonological similarity of memory list words and the attentional demand of concurrent processing were manipulated. As was predicted, a phonological simi...

There is currently little understanding of bariatric patients’ experiences and expectations the pre-surgery evaluation (PSE) process. This especially true for patients within National Health Service (NHS) in UK. Consequently, this study undertakes a qualitative to explore PSE amongst who had undergone surgery NHS UK, using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Three inter-related superordin...

This article discusses the approach of developing MuPAD as an open and parallel problem solving environment (PSE) for mathematical and technical problems, including so-called real world applications. It describes the new implementation of macro parallelism, based on dynamic modules, which now covers three elds of parallel programming: message passing, network variables and work groups. Parallel...
