| The memory consistency model of a shared-memory system determines the order in which memory operations will appear to execute to the programmer. The memory consistency model for a system typically involves a tradeoo between performance and programmability. This paper provides an overview of recent advances in hardware optimizations , compiler optimizations, and programming environments releva...

In mice, recent thymic emigrants (RTEs) make up a large part of the naïve T cell pool and have been suggested to be a distinct short-lived pool. In humans, however, the life span and number of RTEs are unknown. Although (2)H(2)O labeling in young mice showed high thymic-dependent daily naïve T cell production, long term up- and down-labeling with (2)H(2)O in human adults revealed a low daily pr...

Background & Aims: Recent studies have indicated memory dysfunction in individuals with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). The present study aimed to examine the relationship between cognitive selfawareness and episodic memory performance in patients with OCD and healthy individuals. Methods: In the present study, 30 patients with OCD and 30 normal individuals in the Shiraz Professional C...

Introduction: It has been reported that acute administration of morphine impairs learning and memory processes in rats. Furthermore, recent studies showed that Saffron extract improved ethanol-induced impairments of learning behaviors in mice, and also prevented ethanol-induced inhibition of hippocampal long-term potentiation. It can be postulated that there are some common mechanisms respon...

SUMMARY Recent technologies for increasing memory density in random access memory optical disks including magnetic super resolution method, super resolution method in phase change disk, blue laser diode, near field optics, and photo chromic memory are reviewed.
