irish potatoes is rich in carbohydrate, with varied glucose levels. it is also a very good source of apyrase, an enzyme used for platelet storage. the aim of this study was to explore irish potatoes as an easily available source for apyrase extraction and purification. apyrase was extracted from 5 kg of irish potatoes. platelets were derived from 5-10 ml of human whole blood and g6pd activity w...

Recent developments in semiconductor processing technology has enabled the fabrication of a single integrated circuit (IC) with multiple device-interconnect layers or wafers stacked on each other. This approach is commonly referred to as the 3D integration of ICs. Although there has been significant research on the impact of 3D integration on chip size, interconnect delay, and overall system pe...

When we speak of forest products we include not only the timber from the trees, but also such other products as derive from the bark, the leaves, or the roots. In this address, however, I shall be dealing almost exclusively with timber and its derived products. By a long-standing gentlemen’s agreement the other products, as well as certain aspects of pulping, are dealt with by the Colonial Prod...

At the Computer Systems Laboratory at UCSD, we conduct research in distributed systems, operating systems, network protocols, and performance evaluation. This document reviews the current research within the Computer Systems Laboratory. There are four sections which describe the work of the four groups within the laboratory: Decentralized Control Research Group; Operating Systems Research Group...
