Modern GPPs implement specialized instructions in the form of ISA extensions aiming to increase performance emerging applications. These impose a significant overhead area and power processor because their specific datapaths (e.g. hardware for SIMD FP may represent more than half core area). Considering that some devices (e.g., edge computing), must be as energy- area-efficient possible, sporad...

Recently, we have experienced an emergence of comparative “Internet Shopping Agents” (ISAs) that allow consumers to costlessly search across many online retailers and buy at the lowest price. An ISA can be thought of as an institution that creates all or nothing type of competition in the following sense: Because consumers see all the retail prices with a single search, a retailer of a homogeno...

Analysis of urban distribution and its expansion using remote sensing data has received increasing attention in the past three decades, but little research has examined spatial patterns of urban distribution and expansion with buffer zones in different directions. This research selected Hangzhou metropolis as a case study to analyze spatial patterns and dynamic changes based on time-series urba...

Infectious salmon anaemia (ISA) is an important infectious disease in Atlantic salmon farming causing recurrent epidemic outbreaks worldwide. The focus of this paper is on tracing the spread of ISA among Norwegian salmon farms. To trace transmission pathways for the ISA virus (ISAV), we use phylogenetic relationships between virus isolates in combination with space-time data on disease occurren...

Diasteriomeric isosaccharinic acid (ISA) is an important consideration within safety assessments for the disposal of the United Kingdoms' nuclear waste legacy, where it may potentially influence radionuclide migration. Since the intrusion of micro-organisms may occur within a disposal concept, the impact of ISA may be impacted by microbial metabolism. Within the present study we have establishe...

In their article, Shimamura et al. report that incomplete stent apposition (ISA) was observed in all 38 everolimus-eluting stents (EES) and all 39 sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (measuring 315+ 94 mm and 0.50+0.24 mm in EES and 308+ 119 mm and 0.95+ 0.70 mm in SES), that it persisted in 26% of EES and 38% of SES at 8–12 months although the size of t...

In organizations, users’ compliance with information security policies (ISP) is crucial for minimizing information security (IS) incidents. To improve users’ compliance, IS managers have implemented IS awareness (ISA) programs, which are systematically planned interventions to continuously transport security information to a target audience. The underlying research analyzes IS managers’ efforts...

The ISA assesses mathematical literacy, reading, writing and scientific literacy using the internationally-endorsed frameworks from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). The ISA items address the extent to which an individual student can mobilise their knowledge in a domain to solve authentic problems. The ISA does not assess a particular curriculum, and it is not designed ...

UNLABELLED Increased of sexual arousal (ISA) has been described in different neurological diseases. The purpose of this study was present a case series of ISA in patients with movement disorders. METHOD Fifteen patients with different forms of movement disorders (Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, Tourette's syndrome, spinocerebellar ataxia type 3), were evaluated in the Movement Diso...

Employees’ information security awareness (ISA) is a key antecedent of information security behavior. However, to date we know very little about the factors that are responsible for some employees having a higher level of ISA than others. Our study addresses this gap. We propose a model that comprises institutional, individual, and environmental factors preceding ISA. The model was empirically ...
