For this study, 24 Bakhtiari sheep were selected and divided into four age groups: 1-10 days, 5-8 months, 1-2 years and 3 years and more. In each age group, six animals (3 each sex) were used. The specimens of eight different skin regions were collected. They were fixed in 10% formaldehyde solution and processed through routine paraffin embedding, cut at 5-7 μ and stained with H&E, Masson trich...

It is well established that suction feeding fish use a variable amount of swimming (ram) during prey capture. However, the fluid mechanical effects of ram on suction feeding are not well established. In this study we quantified the effects of ram on the maximum fluid speed of the water entering the mouth during feeding as well as the spatial patterns of flow entering the mouth of suction-feedin...

We present the first 3D hydrodynamical simulations of ram pressure stripping of a disc galaxy orbiting in a galaxy cluster. Along the orbit, the ram pressure that this galaxy experiences varies with time. In this paper, we focus on the evolution of the radius and mass of the remaining gas disc and compare it with the classical analytical estimate proposed by Gunn & Gott (1972). We find that thi...

RAM content acquisition is an important step in live forensic analysis of computer systems. FireWire offers an attractive way to acquire RAM content of Apple Mac computers equipped with a FireWire connection. However, the existing techniques for doing so require substantial knowledge of the target computer configuration and cannot be used reliably on a previously unknown computer in a crime sce...

To gain higher density and lower leakage, STT-RAM has been considered an alternative to SRAM for implementing last-level caches (LLCs). However, STT-RAM requires high write energy to program. Consequently, frequent write-backs from the upper-level caches or cache fills from the main memory will result in high LLC power. Both the broadcast and write-back traffic are affected by the cache coheren...

State = R≥0 ×R≥0 For an abstract state (d, a), we call dist(d, a) = d+ a the energy-adjusted distance. The computational state comprises: • A simple distance d ∈ R≥0 to the base station, like the simple distance of an abstract state. • An energy level e ∈ Energy. • An energy-faithful adjustment f ∈ R≥0 capturing energy deficiencies along the route to the base station. • A table nt containing en...
