This paper describes a virtually pipelined memory architecture built on a dual-port phase change memory (PCM) substrate for high performance networking applications. The proposed dual-port PCM cell significantly reduces the probability of bank conflicts due to blocking writes, ensuring that the proposed memory architecture can provide the large bandwidth and bank parallelism necessary for such ...

We re-examine the relationship between the degree of deposit market competition and bank risk taking in a model where banks compete in differentiated deposit services. When banks invest their deposits directly, as has already been established in the extant literature, an increased degree of competition, measured either by greater degree of substitutability or by greater number of banks, induces...

background: the present article focuses on the design and development of a highly sensitive and convenient approach for rapid detection of animal species and cross contaminations quickly during cell cultures as most important document for manufacturing working cell bank system. this test is one of the four most important documents during implementing the banking system. by using this modified t...

BACKGROUND Script Concordance Test (SCT) is a new assessment tool that reliably assesses clinical reasoning skills. Previous descriptions of developing SCT-question banks were merely subjective. This study addresses two gaps in the literature: 1) conducting the first phase of a multistep validation process of SCT in Plastic Surgery, and 2) providing an objective methodology to construct a quest...

This paper proposes a bias detection method in the voltage measurement of lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery cells to identify faulty sensor(s). The proposed is based on Bayesian probabilistic approach that detects possible any cell real-time. A hypothesis bank constructed for magnitudes each cell. Subsequently, fault algorithm computes probability associated with all hypotheses. Once certain converg...

Hemoglobinopathies, in particular sickle cell disease, is the most prevalent group of genetically transmitted diseases in the Brazilian population and should thus be treated as a public health problem. Many of these patients frequently present with complications and require emergency care at the blood bank Coordinator in Rio de Janeiro. This study was developed with the aim of characterizing th...

In this study the classification performance of 2 machine learning methods and 2 sound representations schemes are compared, having the focus on short impact like sounds: Footsteps have been classified according to the material of the floor and the shoe type. The gammatone auditory filter bank is a spectral analyser, that converts a given signal into a multi-channel simulation of the basilar me...

Unrelated-donor umbilical cord blood (CB) is a useful alternative hematopoietic stem cell source for patients without suitably matched and readily available related or unrelated stem cell donors. Expectant parents today may have the option of either donating the CB to a public CB bank or keeping and storing the CB in a private bank for potential use in the future. The alternatives are often ref...

The development of the bank vole Clethrionomys glareolus is described from implantation to the formation of the foetal membranes. The embryonic development of this species combines features of primitive rodent species, for example Geomys bursarius and highly specialized ones, for examples Mus musculus. The egg-cylinder is formed by invagination into the blastocoelic cavity of the inner cell mas...
