IO transactions within a computer system have evolved along with other system components (i.e., CPU, memory, video) from programmed IO (PIO). In current mainstream systems (spanning from HPC to mobile) the IO transactions are CPU-centric descriptor-based DMA transactions. The key benefit is that slower IO devices can DMA write system...
Regulation of expression of three genes in the polyhedron
envelope protein (PEP) gene region of the Orgyia pseudotsugata
multinucleocapsid nuclear polyhedrosis virus (OpMNPV) was
examined. These genes include open reading frame (ORF) 1 (encoding
p21), ORF 2 (encoding gp16), and ORF 3 (encoding the polyhedron
envelope protein). The effect of...
The purpose of this study is to examine the most significant reasons evangelical
Christian faith is compelling to its adherents. Through the interviews of nineteen
Evangelical Christians, it becomes clear that evangelicals see the Bible and Christian
theology in a literal and factual way. Thus, contrary to some strains of...
Only when all aspects of the German film industry of
the 1920's have been fully analyzed and understood will
"Weimar film" be truly comprehensible. Once this has been
achieved the study of this phenomenon will fulfill its potential
and provide accurate insights into the Weimar era.
Ambitious psychoanalytic studies of...
Understanding the effects of disturbance and restoration on a species’ habitat is essential for understanding the demographic rates and population trends observed in a species. Sufficient habitat provides the space and resources required for survival and successful reproduction, such as food availability, access to water, protection from predators, protection from...

ABSTRACT
Understanding the effects of disturbance and restoration on
It is well documented that greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter sage-grouse) populations have been in decline throughout their range in the western United States. Currently, sage-grouse occupy approximately 56% of their historic distribution prior to European settlement. Numerous factors have been cited as potential causes for declining productivity and contraction...
The isotopic composition of water vapour provides integrated perspectives on the hydrological histories of air masses and has been widely used for tracing physical processes in hydrological and climatic studies. Over the last two decades, the infrared laser spectroscopy technique has been used to measure the isotopic composition of water...
Physical Activity (PA) has been shown to significantly improve the overall health of adolescents. The health dimensions that are positively influenced by a consistent level of PA are multiple and range from body composition, chronic diseases management (diabetes, cardiovascular disease, etc.), chronic pain, and mental health (depression, anxiety, etc.). The...
This phenomenological inquiry explored dimensions of reflection for older adults in a developmental oriented adventure education experience. Data were gathered from emergent interviews with four individuals while participating in a multi-day, self-contained experiential education program conducted in a rugged environment, and led by a Navajo leader. Two principle research questions...
