The fetal nucleated red blood cells（FNRBCs） in the peripheral blood of a gravida were rapidly and effectively enriched and separated by the mo- dified multi-core magnetic composite particles in an external magnetic field. The obtained FNRBCs were used for the identification of the fetal sex by means of fluorescence in situ hybridization（FISH） technique. The results demonstrate that the multi-core magnetic composite particles meet the requirements for the enrichment and speration of FNRBCs with a low concentration and the accuracy of detetion for the diagnosis of fetal sex reached to 95%. Moreover, the obtained FNRBCs were applied to the non-invasive diagnosis of Down syndrome and chromosome 3p21 was de- tected. The above facts indicate that the novel multi-core magnetic composite particles-based method is simple, relia- ble and cost-effective and has opened up vast vistas for the potential application in clinic non-invasive prenatal diag- nosis.展开更多

Firstly, a design-time genetic task mapping algorithm is proposed during the design stage to generate multiple task mapping solutions which cover a maximum range of chips. Then, during the run, one optimal task mapping solution is selected. Additionally, logical cores are mapped to physically available cores. Both core asymmetry and topological changes are considered in the proposed approach. Experimental results show that the performance yield of the proposed approach is 96% on average, and the communication cost, power consumption and peak temperature are all optimized without loss of performance yield.展开更多

Aiming at this problem,a parallelization approach was proposed with six memory optimization schemes for CG,four schemes of them aiming at all kinds of sparse matrix-vector multiplication (SPMV) operation. Conducted on IBM QS20,the parallelization approach can reach up to 21 and 133 times speedups with size A and B,respectively,compared with single power processor element. Finally,the conclusion is drawn that the peak bandwidth of memory access on Cell BE can be obtained in SPMV,simple computation is more efficient on heterogeneous processors and loop-unrolling can hide local storage access latency while executing scalar operation on SIMD cores.展开更多

Therefore, we deploy a low index rod and rectangle trench in the middle of two neighboring cores to reduce κ so that the overlap of electric field distribution can be suppressed. We also propose approximate analytical solution(AAS) for κ of two crosstalk suppression models, which are two cores with one low index rod deployed in the middle and two cores with one low index rectangle trench deployed in the middle. We then do some modification for the results obtained by AAS and the modified results are proved to agree well with that obtained by finite element method(FEM). Therefore, we can use the modified AAS to get inter-core crosstalk for abovementioned two models quickly.展开更多

The multi core structure in star forming regions is related to the forming of proto star core. The molecular radiation of C 18 O( J = 1-0) in Cepheus C has been observed. The C 18 O( J = 1-0) observations form the basis for an interesting study on the cloud cores and star formation activity in the cores of the Cepheus C. In order to study the multi core structure of C 18 O( J = 1-0) in the Cepheus C the channel maps and the position velocity diagrams of C 18 O( J = 1-0) will be shown. From the maps it is found that the contour level and distribution size of the three cores in Cepheus C are related to the channel velocity very much. The channel velocity of C 18 O( J = 1-0) molecules in core b, which distributed in all the channels velocity, is different with one in core a and core c very much. The C 18 O( J = 1-0) molecules in core a and core c of the Cepheus C mostly distributed in the blue shifted channel velocity relating to peak velocity, and only in -10.0 ～ -9.5 km/s, which is the red shifted channel velocity relating to peak velocity. And the contour level of C 18 O( J = 1-0) in -10.0 ～ -9.5 km/s is small and the distrbution size in the channel map is small. According to the position velocity diagrams the asymmetry of the distribution both blue shifted and red shifted components should reflect the asymmetry of the profile. From the diagrams it also is found that the contour level and the distribution size of the three cores are different from each other. Both results from the maps and diagrams are coincident with each other.展开更多
