alstroemeria flower is one of the most important cut flowers in the world. some materials can increase longevity of cut flowers. the aim of this research was evaluating the effect of some chemical solutions on postharvest alstroemeria (cv. stratus) cut flowers. this experiment was conducted with two factors of sucrose at four concentrations, 0, 5, 10 and 15 g/l and salicylic acid (sa) at four c...

Diverse therapies for the management of anastomotic leakage after esophageal atresia repair have been reported with various outcomes. The surgical management of anastomotic leakage after esophageal atresia repair can be challenging. We present a child with long-gap esophageal atresia and anastomotic leakage repair with pericardium. This article aimed to illustrate that pericardium may be a subs...

A rapid growth in semiconductor technology and increasing demand for portable devices powered up by battery has led the manufacturers to scale down the feature size, resulting reduced threshold voltage and thereby enabling integration of extremely complex functionality on a single chip. In CMOS circuits, increased sub-threshold leakage current refers static power dissipation is the result of lo...

We construct a constant-round leakage-resilient zero-knowledge argument system under the existence of collision-resistant hash function family. That is, using collision-resistant hash functions, we construct a constant-round zero-knowledge argument system such that for any cheating verifier that obtains arbitrary amount of leakage of the prover’s state, there exists a simulator that can simulat...

The Indian-Atlantic water exchange south of Africa (Agulhas leakage) is a key component of the global ocean circulation. No quantitative estimation of the paleo-Agulhas leakage exists. We quantify the variability in interocean exchange over the past 640,000 years, using planktic foraminiferal assemblage data from two marine sediment records to define an Agulhas leakage efficiency index. We conf...

With the advancement of technology, size of transistor, supply voltage, gate oxide thickness has been decreased but the leakage in device has increased. Projecting these trends, it can be seen that the leakage power dissipation will equal to the active power dissipation within a few generations. Hence, efficient leakage power reduction methods are very critical for the deep-submicron and nanome...

Electrical insulation is an important part of all electrical systems. The level of insulation safety provided by an insulator depends on the amount of leakage current flowing on its surface. Actually increased leakage current causes a part of high voltage to appear at dead end of insulator. This voltage may sometimes be of order of 1000 to 5000 Volts depending upon weather conditions. Such a le...

Ever since the invention of various leakage power reduction techniques, leakage and dynamic power reduction techniques are categorized into two separate sets. Most of them cannot be applied together during runtime. The gap between them is due to the large energy breakeven time (EBT) and wakeup time (WUT) of conventional leakage reduction techniques. This paper proposes a new leakage reduction t...

The detection and assessment of leakage in retinal fluorescein angiogram images is important for the management of a wide range of retinal diseases. We have developed a framework that can automatically detect three types of leakage (large focal, punctate focal, and vessel segment leakage) and validated it on images from patients with malarial retinopathy. This framework comprises three steps: v...
