We use the term ubiquitous supercomputing to refer to systems that integrate lowand mid-range computing systems, advanced networks, and remote highend computers with the goal of enhancing the computational power accessible from local environments. Such systems promise to enable new applications in areas as diverse as smart instruments and collaborative environments. However, they also demand to...

objective: evaluating the effect of resin coating and chlorhexidine on microleakage of two resin cements after water storage. materials and methods: standardized class v cavities were prepared on facial and lingual surfaces of one hundred twenty intact human molars with gingival margins placed 1 mm below the cemento-enamel junction. indirect composite inlays were fabricated and the specimens we...

The rapid development of cities has brought a lot carbon emissions and water consumption, leading to disasters, such as the greenhouse effect drought. However, there is lack systematic review on key nodes for water–carbon nexus points water-saving emission reduction improvement in urban systems. This study reviewed definition nexus, analyzed its changing mechanism different systems, concluded m...

The complexity of modern mobile phones makes it difficult for developers to understand the power consumption of their applications. Ourmeasurement framework produces finegrained, annotated traces of a phone’s power consumption which we are using to develop an understanding of how particular aspects of an application drive energy use. We ran a large number of automated tests using Google Android...

Bioelectrochemical systems (BES) and forward osmosis (FO) are two emerging technologies with great potential for energy-efficient water/wastewater treatment. BES takes advantage of microbial interaction with a solid electron acceptor/donor to accomplish bioenergy recovery from organic compounds, and FO can extract high-quality water driven by an osmotic pressure. The strong synergy between thos...
