Recent advances in development of multi-core processor architectures and three-dimensional (3D) integration supported by continuous semiconductor device scaling continued to boost the performance of modern computers. However, in order to proceed with the performance enhancement beyond 3D integration completely new innovative approaches are mandatory. The electron spin attracts a significant att...

vaccines against the hiv-1 virus offers the best hope for eliminating hiv-associated mortality. recombinant adenovector type 5 (rad5) vaccine is a potential candidate for preventive vaccine strategies. in this study, we evaluated the rad5 prime/protein boost strategy in a murine model. we used rad5 harboring single hiv-1 genes. these genes, including gag (p24) and exon1 of tat, were amplified f...

OBJECTIVES To compare the target volume coverage and doses to organs at risks (OARs) using three techniques that simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) in whole-breast irradiation (WBI) after breast-conserving surgery, including intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), IMRT plus an electron boost (IMRT-EB), and volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT). METHODS A total of 10 patients with ear...

The multi-input dc/dc boost converter is proposed in this paper. The proposed converter uses two sources such as wind, photovoltaic(PV) and battery as a storage element for hybridizing alternative energy sources. This converter draws the power from two different sources depending upon climatic condition and deliver it to the dc load individually or simultaneously. The system is applicable for D...

t. This paper is part of a study examining how negation is marked in Greek Sign Language (GSL). Head movements which are reported to mark negation in other sign languages have been examined to see if they are also used in GSL. Of particular interest is the analysis of the backward tilt of the head which is distinct for marking negation in GSL. Introduction. Backwards tilt of the head seems to o...

In a language-deficient domain such as buoyancy, students generally find it difficult to explain phenomena that daily saturate their lives such as sinking and floating. To address this problem, we propose a simple and object-related articulation and reflection tool which is embedded in the BSL System (B stands for Body while S and L are for String and Liquid respectively). An analysis of the fi...

Rich functionalities of transition-metal oxides and their interfaces bear an enormous technological potential. Its realization in practical devices requires, however, a significant improvement yet relatively low electron mobility oxide materials. Recently, boost about two orders magnitude has been demonstrated at the spinel/perovskite {\gamma}-Al2O3/SrTiO3 interface compared to paradigm perovsk...

This paper presents preliminary results on the comparison of binary and integer based representations for the Base Stations Location (BSL) problem. The simplest model of this problem, which is already NP-complete, is dealt with to compare also different crossover operators. Experimental results support the hypothesis that the integer based representation with a specific crossover operator outpe...

Nanoarchitectured electroactive materials can boost rates of Li insertion/extraction, showing genuine potential to increase power output of Li-ion batteries. However, electrodes assembled with low-dimensional nanostructured transition metal oxides by conventional approach suffer from dramatic reductions in energy capacities owing to sluggish ion and electron transport kinetics. Here we report t...
