Conventional register files spread porting resources uniformly across all registers. This paper proposes a method called Asymmetric Clustering using a Register Cache (ACRC). ACRC utilizes a fast register cache that concentrates valuable register file ports to the most active registers thereby reducing the total register file area and power consumption....
Reports of investigations on nucleases in arterial tissue are
few in number. The present study is concerned with the purification
and characterization of an aortic ribonuclease.
An endonuclease (ARNase I) isolated from the bovine aorta has
been purified 4611 fold by means of fractionation with ethanol, acid
extraction, isoionic precipitation,...
Two studies were undertaken to evaluate the effects
of nutrition and management factors on foot pad dermatitis
in single-comb White Leghorn dwarf and normal-sized
layers. In the nutrition study, caged layers were fed
one of six different diets. These included three diets
with different combinations of the trace minerals
cobalt,...
Observations of oppositely directed, monthly mean alongshore currents and wind stress over the continental margin off the Pacific coast of North America motivate the theoretical examination of mean flow generation by topographic lee-wave drag. We formulate a barotropic model for wind-forced shelf-slope flow over variable topography. Our central objective is...
The coastal ocean may experience periods of fluctuating
along-shelf wind direction, causing shifts between
upwelling and downwelling conditions with responses that
are not symmetric. We seek to understand these asymmetries
and their implications on the Eulerian and Lagrangian flows.
We use a two-dimensional (variations across-shelf and with
depth; uniformity along-shelf)...
The Oregon Coastal Transition Zone (OCTZ) extends several hundred
kilometers offshore where shelf flows interact with the northern California Current. A
primitive-equation numerical ocean model is used to study the upwelling circulation in this
region from 1 May to 1 November 2001. This OCTZ model obtains initial and boundary
conditions...
Accurately estimating the vertical flux of material reaching the seafloor from the overlying surface waters is essential for the paleoceanographic reconstruction of a wide variety of oceanic processes. Two approaches are currently being used. One consists of estimating mass accumulation rates (MAR) between dated horizons as the product of linear...
The effects of selection on genome variation were investigated and visualized in tomato using a high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array. 7,720 SNPs were genotyped on a collection of 426 tomato accessions (410 inbreds and 16 hybrids) and over 97% of the markers were polymorphic in the entire collection. Principal...
