Purdue researchers create a new method to notify CPUs without polling, reducing interrupt overhead and improving efficiency. This discovery impacts cloud systems and large data centers, driving smooth operations throughout networks.
The Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) has published new evidence-based guidelines for ICU design, emphasizing a patient- and family-centered approach. The recommendations aim to improve clinical practice, patient safety, and staff work environment.
NCSA launches Harbor, a fast storage service for global home and software directories, boosting Delta system performance by 400%. Consolidating file systems to VAST namespace improved uptime, load times, and user experience. With Harbor and VAST Data Platform, NCSA achieves scalable and efficient AI infrastructure.
A new universal figure-of-merit for thermophotovoltaic (TPV) devices has been introduced to assess performance and balance power density and efficiency. This metric enables the classification of previously reported experimental results, providing a clear picture of TPV device overall performance.
Researchers developed a groundbreaking soft valve technology that integrates sensors and control valves into soft robots, eliminating the need for electric components. This innovation enables safe operation underwater or in environments with sparks risks, reducing weight burdens and costs.
A team of scientists has developed a method for assembling wafer-scale films at the atomic level, enabling large-scale production of artificial crystalline materials. The new technique, which uses van der Waals interactions, produces nearly 100% pristine interfaces and shows promise for developing new materials with unique properties.
Researchers found that current screening protocols for compassionate dialysis are putting too much strain on emergency rooms, leading to longer wait times. The protocols can be adjusted to relieve congestion, but only if implemented effectively.
Researchers at Technical University of Munich have developed a new neutron-based method to detect clogs in underwater pipelines non-destructively. This approach uses prompt gamma neutron activation analysis to measure hydrogen concentration, allowing for the detection of blockages and hydrate formation.
The four-year study aims to collect data on eastern brown pelican migrations, demographics, and reproductive success. Researchers will gather data using satellite and GPS transmitters, as well as physical examinations and blood-chemistry profiles to assess body condition and health.
A new study at the University of Gothenburg found that laparoscopic procedures reduce the risk of small-bowel obstructions by up to four times compared to open surgery. The study, published in Archives of Surgery, analyzed 108,141 operations and showed that surgical technique is a key factor in adhesive small-bowel obstruction.
Researchers from Wharton and UCLA suggest that shoppers consume more items purchased on sale at local stores to maximize value. The study also proposes a series of questions for shoppers to help them make informed purchasing decisions.
