Three-dimensional (3D) integration is promising to provide dramatic performance and energy efficiency improvement to 3D logic-DRAM integrated computing system, but also poses significant challenge to the yield. To address this challenge, this paper explores a way to leverage logic-DRAM co-design to reactivate unused spares and thereby enable the cost-efficient technique to repair 3D integration...

The urinary tract infection (UTI) counts for many visits to the primary health clinic. It occurs across different age groups and genders with variable rates, nevertheless it spares no one. Knowing this condition from its presentation management is key factor a competent family physician. We aim review literature searching etiology of infection, risk factors, diagnosis, clinical presentation, re...

In this paper, a new model has been presented to determine the number of spare transformers and their locations for distribution stations. The number of spare transformers must be so that they need minimum investment. Furthermore, they must be sufficient for replacing with transformers that have been damaged. For this reason, in this paper a new purpose function has been presented to maximize p...

Sugar pills are usually placebos, but Smith et al. (2002, this issue) use one to rescue designer mice unable to make GDP-Fucose. Dietary fucose enters a salvage pathway and spares the mice. Sound simple? Not so. Unknown genetic factors determine life or death.

We describe a methodology for developing repair parts inventories for deploying Marine Corps units, including data collection and sparing models. Deployed units provide an excellent opportunity to make local corrections to systemic data collection and maintenance problems. We show how to use that data to establish spares levels for Class IX repair parts with an availability-based sparing model.

The accumulation of Cdc6 promotes the initiation of DNA replication. In this issue of Cell, Mailand and Diffley (2005) show that phosphorylation of Cdc6 by cyclin-dependent kinases prevents its destruction by the anaphase promoting complex (APC). This simple mechanism explains how the APC simultaneously spares Cdc6 while targeting for destruction suppressors of DNA replication during the transi...

Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is one of the common causes of facial swelling. Clinical clues for diagnosing ACD include a rash that spares the area behind the ears, nasolabial folds, and under the chin. Once clinicians suspect ACD, the substances that cause contact dermatitis should be avoided.
