An early-stage statement-level metric for energy characterization of embedded processors
No full textThis work presents an early stage statement-level metric for energy characterization of embedded processors. Definition and the framework for metric evaluation are provided. In particular, such a metric is based on an existing assembly-level analysis and some profiling activities performed on a given C benchmark, and it is related to the average energy consumption of a generic C statement, for a given target processor. Its evaluation is performed with a one-time effort and, once available, it can be used to rapidly estimate the energy consumption of a given C function for all the considered processors. Two reference embedded processors are then considered in order to show an example of usage of the proposed metric and framework. (C) 2020 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V
HEPSYCODE-RT: a Real-Time Extension for an ESL HW/SW Co-Design Methodology
No full textThis work(1) focuses on the definition of a methodology for handling embedded real-time applications, starting from an existing HW/SW co-design methodology able to support the design of dedicated heterogeneous parallel systems. The state-of-the-art related to similar tools and methodologies is presented and the reference framework with the proposed extension to the real-time world is introduced. A case study is then described to show a design space exploration able to consider such an extension

VALIDATION of A BONE MINERAL DENSITY CALIBRATION PROTOCOL for MICRO-COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY
No full textMicro-computed tomography (micro-CT) is widely used for in vitro studies to characterize bone structure at the resolution of 10-100 microns. However, a densitometric calibration protocol is necessary to convert the X-ray attenuation coefficient provided by micro-CT in bone mineral density (BMD). The lastest one has an important role to improve the accuracy of subject-specific finite element models. This work presents a simple calibration protocol based on the use of solid hydroxyapatite phantoms with the correction of the beam hardening effect. The method was validated in comparison to ashing measures of cortical and trabecular human bone. In addition, bone samples tissue mineral density (TMD) was calculated with two different methods. The correlation between ash density and BMD was linear both for cortical (R2=0.91) and trabecular bone (R2=0.91). The analysis stratified by tissue type versus the pooled analysis confirmed the validity of a common linear model for both types of tissue (R2=0.99). Despite its simplicity, the correlation obtained in this work does not depend on the acquisition settings of the micro-CT. TMD was shown to be dependent on the tissue investigated, with values in the range of 1.15-1.21mg/mm3 for trabecular bone, and 1.19-1.29mg/mm3 for cortical bone. Results are of some interest for generating micro finite elements models
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
