In the conventional router architecture of Network-on-Chips (NoCs), each input port employs a set dedicated flit buffers to store incoming flits. This mechanism unevenly distributes flits among buffers, which in turn leads higher packet blocking rates and under-utilization buffers. this paper, we address problem by proposing two novel buffering mechanisms their corresponding architectures share...

Introduction: The implantation is a complex procedure that involves many molecules. One of these molecules is integrin specially &alphav&beta3 which serves as receptor for components of extra cellular matrix to act as bridging molecules between the blastocyst and the endometrial surface during the implantation process. By blocking &alphav&beta3 interactions, the implantation can be impaired. ...

As a result of the studies, method direct solid-phase enzyme immunoassay (ELISA test) was optimized for detecting toxigenic strains Vibrio cholerae O1 and O139 serogroups based on monoclonal polyclonal antitoxic immunoglobulin peroxidase conjugates. The study detected following optimal parameters analysis: sensitization tablet by toxicodermia drugs diluted in phosphate-saline buffer (PBS) pH 7....

Although many in the addiction treatment field use the term "medication-assisted treatment" to describe a combination of pharmacotherapy and counseling to address substance dependence, research has demonstrated that opioid agonist treatment alone is effective in patients with opioid dependence, regardless of whether they receive counseling. The time has come to call pharmacotherapy for such pat...

OBJECTIVE This study examined the extent to which associations between volunteering and subjective well-being (SWB) could be related to volunteers having more supportive social networks relative to nonvolunteers. METHOD The sample consisted of 561 midlife and older adults (aged 55-94 years) from the TRAnsitions In Later Life study. Multiple mediation analyses examined associations between hou...

High-speed switches play an important role in building switched LANs. Among different techniques used in switch design, cut-through switching promises short latency delivery and thus is well suited to distributed/parallel applications. The back pressure flow control of cut-through switching also prevents packet loss due to buffer overflow. This paper presents an incremental switch design based ...

Stencil operations are an important class of scientific computational kernels that are pervasive in scientific simulations as well as in image processing. A key characteristic of this class of computation is that they have a low operational intensity, i.e., the ratio of the number of memory accesses to the number of floating point operations it performs is high. As a result, the performance of ...

In this paper, we apply in-core optimization techniques to high-order stencil computations, including: (1) cache blocking for efficient L2 cache use; (2) register blocking and data-level parallelism via single-instruction multipledata (SIMD) techniques to increase L1 cache efficiency; and (3) software prefetching techniques. Our generic approach is tested with a kernel extracted from a 6 th -or...

This paper describes an approximation procedure for determining the throughput time distribution of material handling and service systems modeled as queuing networks. We consider finite buffer capacities and general distributed processing times in terms of discrete probability functions. In order to quantify the influence of blocking caused by finite buffers, we present a decomposition approach...
