In this paper we have proposed a test cost model for core-based 3D Stacked ICs (SICs) connected by Through Silicon Vias (TSVs). Unlike in the case of non-stacked chips, where the test flow is well defined by applying the same test schedule both at wafer sort and at package test, the most cost-efficient test flow for 3D TSV-SICs is yet undefined. Therefore, analysing the various alternatives of tes

There are relatively few studies based on an individual adult perspective on ADHD which takes into account how various factors interact and affect everyday life. Compensatory strategies can facilitate life for people with ADHD and those strategies might include the use of assistive technology or cognitive support. The purpose of this paper is to present and discuss how various factors can facilita

The main functions of estrogen are associated with reproduction. However, estrogen has been shown to be of functional importance also in non-classic target organs. Previous studies, especially epidemiologic and clinical ones, have addressed estrogen's influence on periodontitis, suggesting that estrogen has a beneficial effect, but the biological mechanisms have not been identified. Estrogen exert

Integrins are ubiquitous transmembrane receptors that play crucial roles in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. In this study, we have determined the effects of the loss of beta1 integrins in keratinocytes in vitro and during cutaneous wound repair. Flow cytometry of cultured beta1-deficient keratinocytes confirmed the absence of beta1 integrins and showed downregulation of alpha6beta4 but not

Objectives: To evaluate a cancer detecting artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm on serial biopsies in patients with prostate cancer on active surveillance (AS). Patients and methods: A total of 180 patients in the Prostate Cancer Research International Active Surveillance (PRIAS) cohort were prospectively monitored using pre-defined criteria. Diagnostic and re-biopsy slides from 2011 to 2020 (n

Recent work has shown that 8-bit floating point (FP8) can be used for efficiently training neural networks with reduced computational overhead compared to training in FP32/FP16. In this work, we investigate the use of FP8 training in a federated learning context. This brings not only the usual benefits of FP8 which are desirable for on-device training at the edge, but also reduces client-servercom

Animals live in diverse environments and have evolved to cope with environmental challenges in different ways. How such adaptations shape overall brain morphology is still unclear. Here, we test how two behavioural adaptations – circadian activity pattern and migratory behaviour – are reflected in the brains of moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera). We predicted that circadian activity pattern affec
