Background. Cinnamon or Cinnamomum zeylanicum, which is beneficial for health, one of its benefits is capability to inhibit the growth of Candida albicans because it has active substances such as cinnamaldehyde and eugenol. Purpose. The aim of this research was to know the inhibition effect of cinnamon extract towards Candida albicans by identifying the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of cinnamon extract. Methods. This research was done with the help of a volunteer, maxilla removable denture wearer, wearing the denture for at least 12 months and does not have any systemic disease. The lesion was swabbed from mucosa that contacts with the fitting surface of the denture and also from the denture basis that contacs with mucosa. The swabbed material was incubated in sabourauds dextrose agar to let Candida albicans to grow. Cinnamon extract was diluted into 10 different concentrations; 100%, 50%, 25%, 12,5%, 6,25%, 3,125%, 1,56%, 0,78, ...

Dynamic power dissipation due to signal transitions is the primary power dissipation source, while static power will become increasingly significant in upcoming processors. Dynamic power is directly related to the activity of the circuits, and static power depends on the amount of powered-on transistors and their physical characteristics. Thus, large circuits are usually the primary source of static power. Caches are generally the largest structures in the processor, so they are the most important sources of the static power dissipation. It is also known that increasing cache associativity and/or size to reduce the miss ratio and enhance the performance has an impact on static power and access time. On the other hand, a low access time is desired for the performance. Power and performance also depend on the number of cache ports. In this paper, CACTI 6.0 is used to evaluate cache power dissipation combined with nanometer models of various cache configurations. Cache power dissipation is focused on to show how much power cache consumes, and what fraction can be attributed to dynamic (switching) and static (leakage) currents. Where chip fabrication technology shrank from 130nm to 32nm over the last decade, in this paper, we explore a three-dimensional cache design space by studying caches with different sizes (32kB to 256kB), associativity (direct-mapped to 16-way) and process technologies (90nm, 65nm, 45nm, and 32nm).

IntroductionSpeech is a complex process requiring intellectual and physical capabilities. At times, this process can become compromised making the verbalization of thoughts difficult, therefore other methods of communication may be required. Alternative and augmentative forms of communication (often known as AAC) can help individuals with a wide range of speech and language such as Autism, Downs' Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy and Aphasia. Examples of alternative means of communication include the use of symbols to convey a message often with synthesized text to speech. This has proven to be an effective alternative and can allow people to hold conversations, participate (Light & McNaughton, 2012) and enhance their quality of life (Hill, 2012). However, there have been some challenges in achieving this in the Arab region due to the lack of Arabic symbol inventories and reliance on Westernized symbols (Hock & Lafi, 2011), and as a result, uptake and the positive outcomes of using AAC h...
