Compared to conventional general-purpose processors, accelerator-rich architectures (ARAs) can provide ordersof-magnitude performance and energy gains and are emerging as one of the most promising solutions in the age of dark silicon. However, many design issues related to the complex interaction between general-purpose cores, accelerators, customized on-chip interconnects, and memory systems r...

BACKGROUND Hospitalists involved in perioperative care either stop or continue until the day of surgery renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system antagonists (either angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors [ACEI] or angiotensin II receptor subtype 1 antagonists [ARA]) in patients who use these agents chronically. This practice variation reflects uncertainty regarding the risks and benefits of eithe...

Industries involved in surfacing operations use various fusion welding especially arc welding processes. These operations demand high deposition rates but at low penetration values in the base metal. Conventional SAW, besides its high deposition characteristics, employs high values of welding current and is not many times favoured for surfacing due to high degree of dilution of surfacing alloys...

The classical electrostatic image principle for a perfectly conducting object consisting of two orthogonally intersecting spheres is revisited through vector analysis. A method for finding the image of a given charge distribution by splitting it in three virtual singlesphere problems is described. Also, a simple relation between the image charges of a given point charge is found. The method is ...

The combination of habitat loss, climate change, direct persecution, introduced species and other components of the global environmental crisis has resulted in a rapid loss of biodiversity, including species, population and genetic diversity. Birds, which inhabit a wide spectrum of different habitat types, are particularly sensitive to and indicative of environmental changes. The Caucasus endem...

Chromium, especially the hexavalent form, is toxic to humans. Industries like chrome plating, textile, electroplating discharge Cr(VI) in their effiuents. Wastes containing chromium are environmentally persistent and toxic, and cannot be degraded or detoxified biologically. Various techniques developed for the removal of heavy metals include chemical precipitation, ion exchange and adsorption. ...

In industries and research organizations most widely used welding methods are shield metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) and submerged arc welding (SAW). The SAW process is often preferred because it offers high production rate, high melting efficiency, ease of automation and low operator skill requirement. This review will be very helpful for...

We report on a patient who survived cardiac arrest and showed recovery of consciousness and an injured ARAS at the early stage of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HI- BI) for 3 weeks, which was demonstrated by diffusion tensor tractography (DTT).A 52-year-old male patient who had suffered cardiac arrest caused by acute coronary syndrome was resuscitated immediately by a layman and paramedics for ...

In the past few decades various industries have adopted new information systems and supply chain management techniques. Unfortunately, although many industries saw significant gains, the health care industry—both large hospitals and small private practices—are slow to consider new technologies. According to the Health Care Information Technology Model (HCIT) and the Supply Chain Operations Refe...

Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is frequently associated with severe comorbidities such as reduced renal perfusion, hypertension, and end-stage renal failure. In approximately 90% of patients, renal artery atherosclerosis is the main cause for RAS, and it is associated with an increased risk for fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular and renal complications. Endovascular management of atherosclerotic R...
