Non-volatile memories (NVMs) offer superior density and energy characteristics compared to the conventional memories; however, NVMs suffer from severe reliability issues that can easily eclipse their energy efficiency advantages.In this paper, we survey architectural techniques for improving the soft-error reliability of NVMs, specifically PCM Coat

Coat The present incidence of leptospirosis in China is significantly lower than past rates, although small localized outbreaks continue to occur in epidemic regions.Improvements in sanitation, as well as vaccination of high-risk populations, have played crucial roles in reducing the disease burden.Several types of human leptospirosis vaccines have

This research aimed to study the impact of uniform basalt fibre reinforcement on the mechanical properties of foam Coat concrete, such as compressive strength, bending and frost resistance.A comprehensive methodology was used, which included the preparation and testing of foam concrete mixtures containing basalt fibre, and conducting strength and f
