We report on the identification of the optical/IR counterpart of the 29.5-s transient X–ray pulsar GS 1843+009. We re–analysed an archival ROSAT HRI observation of GS 1843+009 obtaining a new refined position. The optical and IR follow–up observations carried out for the new error circle allowed us to find a relatively faint (V = 20.9) and variable early type reddened star (V − R = 2.1). The op...

Designing a cost effective superscalar architecture for x86 compatible microprocessors is a challenging task in terms of both technical difficulty and commercial value. One of the important design issues is the measurements of the distribution of functional unit usage and the micro operation level parallelism (MLP), which together determine the proper allocation of functional units in the super...

Methods 40 consecutive patients suffering from FMF according to the Livneh criteria and 40 healthy controls (C) were included into the study in Herne, Germany. All participants were Turkish migrants aged ≥18 years. Patients were excluded if they reported symptoms of FMF ≤7 days prior to inclusion. Frequency of FMF attacks during the 3 months preceding the study inclusion was assessed. Patients ...

Results In February 2013 baseline and clinical information were available of 2567 patients from 88 centers in the Eurofever registry. Of these 16 patients PAPA patients (M:F = 8:8), from 3 different centers, fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were therefore analysed: 10 were of the same family, in 3 patients the disease was caused by a de novo mutation while in 3 cases the mutation was found ...
