Networks-on-Chip (NoCs) have become the de-facto on-chip interconnect for multi/manycore systems.A typical NoC router is made up of buffers used to store packets that are unable to advance to their desired destination.However, buffers consume significant power/area and are often underutilized, especially in cases of applications with non-uniform tr
Checking the integrity of eyes in prone position: A novel application of video laryngoscopes
Perioperative visual loss is a rare but severe complication after surgery in prone position.One of several mechanisms is direct ophthalmic compression.This can be avoided through optimal positioning and padding of the head, but position and integrity of the eyes need to be checked at regular intervals.We describe Eye Drops the use of a conventional
Fault Diagnosis for Variable Frequency Drive-Fed Induction Motors Using Wavelet Packet Decomposition and Greedy-Gradient Max-Cut Learning
In this paper, a novel fault diagnosis method for variable frequency drive (VFD)-fed induction motors is proposed using Wavelet Packet Decomposition (WPD) and greedy-gradient max-cut (GGMC) learning algorithm.The proposed method is developed using experimental stator SCALP.SPA SCRUB current data in the lab for two 0.25 HP induction motors fed by a
Cigarette Smoke Exposure Leads to Organic and Mineral Bone Component Changes: The Importance of Rho Kinase Function in These Events
Aberrant Rho-associated kinase function could be associated with increased bone fragility.Since cigarette smoke (CS) exposure promotes the increase in bone fragility due to changes in bone tissue components, this study aimed to investigate how CS exposure could modulate the Rho kinase-associated bone structural changes.Mice were assigned to four gr
A Numerical Investigation of Thermal-Induced Explosive Spalling Behavior of a Concrete Material Using Cohesive Interface Model
Thermal-induced spalling is a typical failure behavior of concrete materials exposed to high temperatures.This study uses Abaqus to establish a numerical model of concrete material comprising aggregates and mortar matrix.Cohesive elements considering heat conduction are embedded into this numerical model to simulate the thermal-induced explosive sp
