(2012-04-18)USDA Select carcasses (n=6) were selected, and paired boneless (n=12) strip loins were cut in half (n=24) and were assigned randomly to be dry-aged (unpackaged) or wet-aged in a vacuum package bag. Strip loin sections were ...
-
(2013-02-01)In searches for new fundamental particles in high energy particle collisions, the ability for a detector to select collisions that might signify the presence of such particles is one of the top priorities. Equally important ...
-
(2016-08-22)As computer memory increases in size and processors continue to get faster, memory becomes an increasing bottleneck to system performance. To mitigate the slow DRAM memory chip speeds, a new generation of 3D stacked DRAM ...
