D and normative modeling of decision making under risk and uncertainty have grown apart over the past decade. Psychological models attempt to accommodate the numerous violations of rationality axioms, including independence and transitivity. Meanwhile, normatively oriented decision analysts continue to insist on the applied usefulness of the subjective expected utility (SEU) model. As this gap ...

The paper investigates the influence of the placement on the SEU sensitivity of designs implemented in SRAM-based FPGAs. The experimental evaluation of an FFT sample design has been accomplished by the FLIPPER and STAR tools.

Soft errors are intermittent malfunctions of hardware that are not reproducible. They may affect the data integrity and affect the system operation. These errors are growing reliability threat in VLSI system design. A soft error occurring in a memory cell or register is called a Single Event Upset (SEU). Designs mapped into Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FGPAs) are more vulnerable to soft erro...

Treatment of bronchial fistula (BF) after pulmonary lobectomy is a challenge. Often, patients require long hospital stay, have recurrent empyema and pneumonia, are susceptible to sepsis, often need broad-spectrum antibiotics, as well as various surgical approaches. With the advent and growing evidence of the benefits of negative pressure therapy (NPT), its use in some patients with BF has been ...

SRAM-Filed Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) have become one of the most important carriers of digital electronic system because of its many inborn advantages. However, as manufacture of Integrated Circuit evolves towards Very Deep Sub-Micron technology, FPGA designers must be careful of circuit’s Single Event Upset (SEU) susceptibility when used in hostile environment, such as avionics and space...

Recent improvements in the radiation transport code HZETRN/BRYNTRN and galactic cosmic ray environmental model have provided an opportunity to investigate the effects of target fragmentation on estimates of single event upset (SEU) rates for spacecraft memory devices. Since target fragments are mostly of very low energy, an SEU prediction model has been derived in terms of particle energy rathe...

Loss-of-function alleles of AGAMOUS-LIKE24 (AGL24) and SHORT VEGETATIVE PHASE (SVP) revealed that these two similar MADS box genes have opposite functions in controlling the floral transition in Arabidopsis thaliana, with AGL24 functioning as a promoter and SVP as a repressor. AGL24 promotes inflorescence identity, and its expression is downregulated by APETALA1 (AP1) and LEAFY to establish flo...

Aintubação orotraqueal não é um procedimento inócuo na prática da anestesia. Permite ventilação controlada para as mais diversas finalidades e pode ser utilizada em anestesia geral e no tratamento de insuficiência respiratória. A sua instalação leva a alterações da mecânica ventilatória que também afetam os sistemas cardiovascular, renal e nervoso central . Estudos que levam em consideração esp...

With device size shrinking and fast rising frequency ranges, effect of cosmic radiations and alpha particles known as Single-Event-Upset (SEU), Single-Eventtransients (SET), is a growing concern in logic circuits. Accurate understanding and estimation of Single-EventUpset sensitivities of individual nodes is necessary to achieve better soft error hardening techniques at logic level design abstr...
