Introduction Portable system designers are concerned with minimizing the static and dynamic current draw of all components within a battery-powered system. This application note highlights the very low static and dynamic power capabilities of MAX® II CPLDs. It also reviews circuit design techniques that allow MAX II devices to achieve zero stand-by current. In addition, MAX II devices can be us...

Given an assignment market, we introduce a set of vectors, one for each possible ordering on the player set, which we name the maxpayoff vectors. Each one of these vectors is obtained recursively only making use of the assignment matrix. Those max-payoff vectors that are efficient turn up to give the extreme core allocations of the market. When the assignment market has large core (that is to s...

In their editorial, Mannion and Braithwaite contend that the approach to solving the problem of unsafe care, Safety I, is flawed and requires a shift in thinking to what they are calling Safety II. We have reservations as to whether by itself the shift from Safety I to Safety II is sufficient. Perhaps our failure to improve outcomes in the field of patient safety and quality lies less in our ap...

INTRODUCTION In conventional MR examinations glioblastomas multiforme (GBMs), metastases and primary CNS lymphomas (PCNSLs) may show very similar appearance. The aim of the study was to evaluate usefulness of multiparametric T2*DSC perfusion and diffusion MR imaging in the preoperative differentiation of these tumors. MATERIAL AND METHODS Seventy four solitary enhancing tumors (27 GBMs, 30 me...

This paper reports on the adsorption of Cr(VI), Cu(II) and Pb(II) from laboratory solution by the use of Chelex 100 (C100) and Amberlite IRA400 ion exchange resins. Metal loading at initial pHs of 3 to 8 at 1-100 mg/L were studied based on Q max and K f values of the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models, respectively. Lead was sorbed the most (Q max = 75.19 mg/g, at pH 6), followed by Cu (Q ...

$r$-module. in this paper, we explore more properties of $max$-injective modules and we study some conditions under which the maximal spectrum of $m$ is a $max$-spectral space for its zariski topology.

A new third generation VUV synchrotron radiation ring called MAX II has just been constructed and commissioned. The boundary conditions regarding economy, space and manpower have been rather tight so some novel techniques have been used in the design and construction of the ring to keep a high performance level while staying within the boundary conditions mentioned above. In this paper, the mos...

The MAX IV facility includes two storage rings operated at 1.5 GeV and 3 GeV. Both rings make use of a 100 MHz RF system and are designed to operate with a uniform multibunch fill pattern as well as employ passive harmonic cavities to damp instabilities and increase Touschek lifetime. Recently, a discussion on timing modes at the MAX IV storage rings has been initiated by the user community. Th...
