Long term follow-up of liver function in Italian haemophilic patients
No full textA 14-year follow-up of 153 haemophilic
patients treated with clotted factor concentrates was
made to assess liver function. Investigations included
measurement of alanine amino transferase (ALT),
immunoglobulins, HIV antibody, HBsAg, antibody to
HBs and HBc antigens, antibodies to HCV (assayed by
ELISA-2 and by RIBA-2) and HCV viraemia assessed by
PCR. Assessment of liver function also included liver
ultrasound scan and oesophageal X-ray. A positive
correlation was found between abnormal liver functionand age, HIV infection, HBV infection, HCV infection
and hepatomegaly. However, there was no correlation
between abnormal liver function and annual clotting
factor concentrate use. The increasing incidence of liver
insufficiency with increasing age is likely to result in
substantial morbidity and mortality amongst haemophilic
patients
The results of long term liver follow up of Italian haemophiliacs treated with lower effective doses of concentrates.
No full textEnergy Behaviour of NUCA caches in CMPs
No full textAbstract—Advances in technology of semiconductor make
nowadays possible to design Chip Multiprocessor Systems equipped with huge on-chip Last Level Caches. Due to the wire delay problem, the use of traditional cache memories with a uniform access time would result in unacceptable response latencies. NUCA (Non Uniform Cache Access) architecture has been proposed as a viable solution to hide the adverse impact of wires delay on performance. Many previous studies have focused on the effectiveness of NUCA architectures, but the study of the energy and power aspects of NUCA caches is still limited.
In this work, we present an energy model specifically suited for NUCA-based CMP systems, together with a methodology to employ the model to evaluate the NUCA energy consumption. Moreover, we present a performance and energy dissipation analysis for two 8-core CMP systems with an S-NUCA and a D-NUCA, respectively. Experimental results show that, similarly to the monolithic processor, the static power also dominates the total power budget in the CMP system
