Labeling Schemes for Improving Cilksan Performance by Holla, Satya

“…In this thesis, I propose labeling schemes as a method of circumventing many of the expensive operations in Cilksan, an implementation of the SP-bags algorithm. The proposed labeling schemes give strands of a parallel program labels during the execution of Cilksan, allowing Cilksan to shortcut the processing of certain memory accesses if the label comparison allows. …”

Correlation between proton conductivity, thermal stability and structural symmetries in novel HPW-meso-silica nanocomposite membranes and their performance in direct methanol fuel... by Zeng, Jie, Shen, Pei Kong, Lu, Shanfu, Xiang, Yan, Li, Lin, De Marco, Roland, Jiang, San Ping

“…HPW-meso-silica nanocomposites with 3D mesostructures display a significantly higher proton conductivity and higher stability as a function of relative humidity in comparison to 2D mesostructures. The best result was obtained with body-centered cubic (View the MathML source)-HPW-meso-silica, showing proton conductivities of 0.061 S cm−1 at 25 °C and 0.14 S cm−1 at 150 °C, respectively, and an activation energy of 10.0 kJ mol−1. …”

Enhanced restoration of visual code after targeting ON bipolar cells compared to retinal ganglion cells with optogenetic therapy by Rogers, J, Hughes, S, Ebrahimi, A, Allen, A, Storchi, R, Lindner, M, Peirson, S, Badea, T, Hankins, M, Lucas, R

“…Recording ReaChR-driven responses in visually intact retinas confirmed that RGC-targeted ReaChR expression disrupts visual feature selectivity of individual RGCs. Our data show that, while both approaches restore visual responses with impressive fidelity, ON BC targeting produces a richer visual code closer to that of wild-type mice. …”
