Microchannel liquid cooling is a promising technique to handling the high temperature problem of threedimensional (3D) processors. There have been a few works which made initial attempts to optimize liquid cooling by utilizing non-uniformly distributed channels, variable flow rate, wider channels, and Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) combined with thread migration mechanisms. Althou...

BACKGROUND Transplant rejection is mediated by T-cell activation which is modulated by interleukin-2 (IL-2) binding to IL-2R (CD25). Monoclonal anti-IL-2 receptor antibody is used in renal transplantation to reduce rejection. Interestingly, proximal tubular epithelial cells (TEC) express CD25, similar to T cells. We have demonstrated that IL-2 induces murine TEC apoptosis through down-regulatio...

BACKGROUND The addition of anthracyclines to platinum-based chemotherapy may provide benefit in survival in ovarian cancer patients. We evaluated the effect on survival of adding epirubicin to standard carboplatin and paclitaxel. PATIENTS AND METHODS We carried out a prospectively randomized phase III study comparing carboplatin plus paclitaxel (TC; area under the curve 5 and 175 mg/m(2)) wit...

Large-scale TEC perturbations/enhancements observed during the day sectors of major storm periods, 12– 13 February 2000, 23 September 1999, 29 October 2003, and 21 November 2003, were studied using a high resolution GPS network over Japan. TEC enhancements described in the present study have large magnitudes (≥25×1016 electrons/m2) compared to the quiet-time values and long periods (≥120 min). ...

The utilization of portable box coolers (PBC) for traditional fishermen is quite popular in Indonesia. However, pure water's cooling medium still limited to ice. With the development PCM technology, fatty acids began be used. Likewise, use thermoelectric (TEC) directly on PBCs has also been widely developed. In this study, a combination based acids, namely lauric acid, myristic and stearic acid...

Synchronous electric clocks utilize power grid frequency as their timing reference. Power grid frequency deviation away from its nominal value results in synchronous electric clocks running fast or running slow (also known as the time error). In this article, statistical analysis on time error of synchronous electric clocks around the world is firstly presented using the power grid frequency me...

Abstract Timely, reliable and comprehensive global observation information is essential for space weather research. However, limited technology hinders the consecutive coverage of data. For integrity continuity data, deep learning can obtain a Ionospheric total electron content (TEC) map by fusing multi‐source TEC maps. Different from previous methods, in study, hybrid model (RFGAN) based on Du...

background and objective: scorpion sting and snakebite are the important problems in some area such as iran that must be addressed. this study was to investigate temporal pattern of scorpion sting and snakebite incidence in patients referred to masjedsoleiman’s main hospital, during 24 months from 21 march 2008 to 20 march 2009. materials and methods: it was an analytical study to scrutiny of m...

OBJECTIVE Self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITBs) are a major public health problem that traditional interventions have been unable to address on a large scale. The goal of this series of studies was to take initial steps toward developing an effective SITB treatment that can be easily delivered on a very large scale. METHOD We created a brief (1-2 min), game-like app called Therapeutic...
