RESAC: a redundancy strategy involving approximate computing for error-tolerant applications by Balasubramanian, Padmanabhan, Maskell, Douglas Leslie, Prasad, Krishnamachar

“…Triple modular redundancy (TMR), which is a subset of N-modular redundancy (NMR), that can mask any single fault or a faulty functional unit has been widely used. However, compared to a simplex implementation a TMR implementation requires two additional functional units and a majority voting logic therefore a TMR implementation's area and power overheads are greater by over 200 %. …”

Elucidating the effect of polyethylene terephthalate chain structure on its enzymatic degradation behavior by Lena, Jean-Baptiste, Gonçalves, Rui A., Kharel, Sharad, Kannan, Srinivasaraghavan, Verma, Chandra Shekhar, Pinchi, Keerthi Mohan, Lim, Sierin, Lam, Yeng Ming

“…To investigate the interplay between substrate crystallinity and chemical structure on the efficiency of PET degradation, we synthesized PET, PET copolymers (e.g., polyethylene terephthalate-co-ethylene isophthalate, P(ET-co-EI), poly(ethylene terephthalate-co-ethylene phthalate), P(ET-co-EP)), and branched PET that have been used in packaging. These polymers have good properties for injection molding and oxygen scavenging, respectively. …”

The history of Tamil women in Malaya and Singapore (1870s-1990s): a study of lower-caste Tamil women's representations and gender politics by Al-Mehraaj Binte Mohamed Rahim

“…This not only led to the production of distorted and definitive constructs of lower-caste Tamil women in colonial, national and cultural consciousness, but also worked to exclude the lower-caste Tamil women from elite and upper-caste models of womanhood over the course of the colonial period. Having been marginalised, these women were conferred the opportunity to attain cultural superiority and ideological strength and thereby regain respectability during instances of embracing domestic femininity following the period of the 1930s. …”

Neotropical understory birds and mammals show divergent behaviour responses to human pressure by Negret, Pablo Jose, Luskin, Mathew Scott, Gomez-Valencia, Bibiana, Diaz-Pulido, Angelica, Romero, Luis Hernando, Restrepo, Adriana, Zaehringer, Julie G., Jones, Kendall R., Ochoa-Quintero, Jose Manuel, Mendes, Calebe Pereira

“…However, whether these behavioural responses to human pressure are consistent among key functional groups has been poorly studied. For example, while mammal species tend to become more nocturnal in areas with high human pressure, it is unclear if co-occurring birds display similar or opposite patterns. …”

Error analysis of a first-order IMEX scheme for the logarithmic Schrödinger equation by Wang, Li-Lian, Yan, Jingye, Zhang, Xiaolong

“…Among very limited numerical studies, the semi-implicit regularized method via regularizing f(u) as u\varepsilon ln(\varepsilon+ |u\varepsilon|)2 to overcome the blowup of ln |u|2 at u = 0 has been investigated recently in the literature. With the understanding of f(0) = 0, we analyze the nonregularized first-order implicit-explicit scheme for the LogSE. …”
