Power transient boiling has been studied for decades, however, the mechanistic understanding of phenomena which occur during such an event remains incomplete. Due to a dearth of systematic researches, the information of studied phenomenon, detailed physics and applicable hypothesis are very limited. Transient critical heat flux (CHF) is paramount in...
Various natural language processing (NLP) tasks necessitate deep models that are fast, efficient, and small based on their ultimate application at the edge or elsewhere. While significant investigation has furthered the efficiency and reduced the size of these models, reducing their downstream latency without significant trade-offs remains a difficult task....
The effect of dietary glycosylated vitamin B-6 on the bioavailability
of vitamin B-6 was determined in 4 women. A 44-d metabolic-balance diet
study was divided into a preliminary 8-d adjustment period followed by
two 18-d experimental periods. The subjects were divided into two groups
in a crossover design to compare...
Recent trends in CMOS technology and scaling of devices clearly indicate that leakage power in digital circuits would be crucial and largely depend on the sub-threshold current.
Minimizing leakage is gaining increasing importance along with other critical design aspects primarily due to the growing demand for portable battery-operated electronic devices...
The ever-increasing environmental degradation in China is leading people to pay more attention to environmental protection. Although Chinese government has made progress in dealing with environmental problems, the environment still gets worse. Thus, ordinary people began to take part in environmental issues, and make contributions to environmental protection. With increased...
China suffered its biggest food-safety crisis in 2008 when it was discovered that melamine had been illegally added to the milk formula. More than 290,000 children were poisoned and at least six infants were dead. Chinese citizens and the governments around the world gave the Chinese government a lot of...
Nowadays, error correction codes have become an integral part in almost all the modern digital communication and storage systems. With the continuously increasing demands for higher speed and lower power communication systems, efficient VLSI implementations of those error correction codes have great importance for practical applications. In this thesis, several...
In order to synthesize polyethylene by the microreactor with a catalyst, this thesis prepares the chemical coating layers for the reactor channel. There are two layers in the channel: the Phillips catalysts and an antimony-doped tin oxide layer on glass substrate. The Phillips catalyst help to synthesize polyethylene in the...
Copper and zinc are heavy metals commonly present in highway stormwater runoff. Discharge of these metals to surface waters inhabited by sensitive aquatic species including threatened and endangered salmonids has necessitated the need for improved treatment techniques. Although copper is of the greater toxicological concern, zinc is often present at...
