Geoarchaeological patterns in the pre-desert and desert ecozones of northern Cyrenaica
AbstractGeoarchaeological surveys were conducted in northern Cyrenaica in 2009 as part of the TRANS-NAP project. A major objective of the project is to understand the relationship between regional environmental changes and human occupation patterns in northern Cyrenaica over approximately the past 200,000 years. This p...

Warm Workload Aware Reliability Management In Linux Android
With CMOS scaling beyond 14 nm, reliability is a major concern for IC manufacturers. Reliability-aware design has a non-negligible overhead and cannot account for user experience in mobile devices. An alternative is dynamic reliability management (DRM), which counteracts degradation by adapting the operating conditions...

Assessing environmental controls on the distribution of long-chain alkenones in the Canadian Prairies
Long-chain alkenones (LCAs) have been used for decades to reconstruct quantitative sea-surface temperature records, but they also have a great potential for paleotemperature reconstructions in lacustrine settings. Here, we investigated how the presence and abundance of LCAs in surface sediments from 106 lakes varied wi...

Imprinted Cdkn1c genomic locus cell-autonomously promotes cell survival in cerebral cortex development
AbstractThe cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p57KIP2 is encoded by the imprinted Cdkn1c locus, exhibits maternal expression, and is essential for cerebral cortex development. How Cdkn1c regulates corticogenesis is however not clear. To this end we employ Mosaic Analysis with Double Markers (MADM) technology to genetic...

The mouse X-inactivation center (Xic) locus represents a powerful model for understanding the links between genome architecture and gene regulation, with the non-coding genes Xist and Tsix showing opposite developmental expression patterns while being organized as an overlapping sense/antisense unit. The Xic is organiz...

Lcl And L Vsc Converters With Dc Fault Current Limiting Property And Minimal Power Losses
This paper studies the methodologies for developing dc fault-tolerant and highly efficient voltage-source converters (VSCs). Building on a recently proposed LCL-VSC converter, which suffers from low efficiency at partial load, an operating strategy of switchable capacitor banks instead of a fixed central capacitor is p...

Lattice diffeomorphism invariance
We propose a lattice counterpart of diffeomorphism symmetry in the continuum. A functional integral for quantum gravity is regularized on a discrete set of space-time points, with fermionic or bosonic lattice fields. When the space-time points are positioned as discrete points of a continuous manifold, the lattice acti...
