In order to ensure reliability of systems early in the design phase, it is becoming crucial have models able predict behaviors exposed electrostatic discharge (ESD). This an increased necessity since number embedded electronic products growing and they are involved applications where people's safety a requirement. Until now, quasi-static protection devices succeeded providing fairly good...

Spatial patterns in trait variation reflect underlying community assembly processes, allowing us to test hypotheses about their trait and environmental drivers by identifying the strongest correlates of characteristic spatial patterns. For 43 evergreen tree species (> 1 cm dbh) in a 20-ha seasonal tropical rainforest plot in Xishuangbanna, China, we compared the ability of drought-tolerance tra...

Leaf shrinkage with dehydration has attracted attention for over 100 years, especially as it becomes visibly extreme during drought. However, little has been known of its correlation with physiology. Computer simulations of the leaf hydraulic system showed that a reduction of hydraulic conductance of the mesophyll pathways outside the xylem would cause a strong decline of leaf hydraulic conduct...

The tension leg platform (TLP) is one of the compliant structures which are generally used for deep water oil exploration. With respect to the horizontal degrees of freedom, it behaves like a floating structure moored by vertical tethers which are pretension due to the excess buoyancy of the platform, whereas with respect to the vertical degrees of freedom, it is stiff and resembles a fixed str...

Los trastornos de la personalidad están escasamente atendidos en práctica clínica real, a pesar que su prevalencia es elevada y causan altas interferencias malestar emocional aquellas personas los padecen. El objetivo este estudio llevar cabo una revisión sistemática sobre el trastorno límite (TLP) histriónico (THP) desde modelos dimensionales, así como las estrategias regulación (RE) empleadas...

This paper presents electrical methods used to measure and analyze the operation of ESD protection circuits built into every lead of an Integrated Circuit (IC). These circuits clamp voltage threats to sensitive core circuits which enter through each connections to the outside world. Representative samples of each IC are tested for their ESD immunity level to insure a minimum level of protection...

In today’s computing environments, the concurrent execution of multiple applications/threads is common and multi-cores are very well-suited to handle such workloads. However, they suffer from the fact that any mismatch between the application’s inherent instruction-level parallelism (ILP) and the core’s parallelism leads to unused resources or loss in performance. An accepted solution is to inc...
