Minute changes in pH, NaCl concentration Aspartic acid, Glutamic acid and by inference other acids affect the major pathways from acetyl Co-A. The important differences between experiments with and without buffer show the reversal of results. Glutamic acid increases O2 consumption; cholesterol of liver homogenates in media without buffer decreases QO2,. cholesterol and total lipids in media wit...

The advent of increasingly data-intensive applications such as media processing and mobile video has a created the need for processors with higher computational performance but lower cost and power consumption. In response, multi-core Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) have adapted to meet these needs and have subsequently gained a broader market acceptance, opening the doors to designers and man...

This paper introduces LogicCrowd, a declarative programming platform for mobile crowdsourcing applications (using social media networks and peer-to-peer networks), developed as an extension of Prolog. We present a study of energy consumption characteristics for our LogicCrowd prototype. Based on the measurements, we develop an energy-crowdsourcing consumption model for LogicCrowd on the Android...

We investigated the association between habitual fish consumption and asymptomatic carotid atherosclerosis, defined as the presence of plaques and/or increased intima-media thickness (≥ 0.90 mm), in non-diabetic p...

This paper explores the connection between collaborative consumption and technology, in particular the internet, smartphones and social network sites (SNSs). Based on a content analysis of 63 newspaper articles about collaborative consumption, it is argued that collaborative consumption is constructed as a high-tech phenomenon in three main ways: first, technology is depicted as enabling collab...
