description: Introduction: Hand hygiene is an integral public health strategy in reducing the transmission of COVID-19, yet the past research has shown hand hygiene practices among the public is sub-optimal. This study aimed to (1) quantify hand sanitization rates among the public to minimize the transmission of COVID-19 and (2) evaluate whether different public health messaging, based on various behavior-change theories influences hand hygiene behavior in a natural setting. Methods: An observational, naturalistic study design was used with real-time customer activity data recorded against hand sanitizer usage in a regional hardware store. Primary outcome from the study was to measure the usage ratio by counting the amount of activity versus usage of hand sanitizer per hour against individual messages based on their behavioral change technique (BCT). Results: There was no significant difference between the baseline message and any of the intervention messages [F(16,904) = 1.19, p = 0.279] or between BCT groups [F(3,906) = 1.33, p = 0.263]. Post hoc tests showed no significant difference between messages (social comparison, p = 0.395; information, p = 1.00; and action planning, p = 1.00). Conclusion: This study showed that even during a pandemic, hand hygiene usage rates in a public setting were similar to the past studies and that compliance did not shift dependent on the public message displayed. This raises questions on whether requirements imposed on businesses to provide hand sanitizer to patrons are an ineffective and maybe an unnecessary economic burden. A measured approach to risk and behavioral analysis surrounding the use of hand sanitizer in a pandemic is suggested as a better approach to inform public policy on the value of hand sanitizer.

description: Positron emission tomography is the imaging modality of choice when it comes to the high sensitivity detection of key markers of thrombosis and inflammation, such as activated platelets. We, previously, generated a fluorine‐18 labelled single‐chain antibody (scFv) against ligand‐induced binding sites (LIBS) on activated platelets, binding it to the highly abundant platelet glycoprotein integrin receptor IIb/IIIa. We used a non‐site‐specific bio conjugation approach with N‐succinimidyl‐ 4‐[18F]fluorobenzoate (S[18F]FB), leading to a mixture of products with reduced antigen binding. In the present study, we have developed and characterised a novel fluorine‐18 PET radiotracer, based on this antibody, using site‐specific bio conjugation to engineer cysteine residues with N‐[2‐(4‐ [18F]fluorobenzamido)ethyl]maleimide ([18F]FBEM). ScFvanti‐LIBS and control antibody mut‐scFv, with engineered C‐terminal cysteine, were reduced, and then, they reacted with N‐[2‐(4‐ [18F]fluorobenzamido)ethyl]maleimide ([18F]FBEM). Radiolabelled scFv was injected into mice with FeCl3‐induced thrombus in the left carotid artery. Clots were imaged in a PET MR imaging system, and the amount of radioactivity in major organs was measured using an ionisation chamber and image analysis. Assessment of vessel injury, as well as the biodistribution of the radiolabelled scFv, was studied. In the in vivo experiments, we found uptake of the targeted tracer in the injured vessel, compared with the non‐injured vessel, as well as a high uptake of both tracers in the kidney, lung, and muscle. As expected, both tracers cleared rapidly via the kidney. Surprisingly, a large quantity of both tracers was taken up by organs with a high glutathione content, such as the muscle and lung, due to the instability of the maleimide cysteine bond in vivo, which warrants further investigations. This limits the ability of the novel antibody radiotracer18F‐scFvanti‐LIBS to bind to the target in vivo and, therefore, as a useful agent for the sensitive detection of activated platelets. We describe the first fluorine‐18 variant of the scFvanti‐LIBS against activated platelets using site‐specific bio conjugation.

description: Background: Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) engage patients in co-evaluation of their health and wellbeing outcomes. This study aimed to determine the feasibility, response rate, degree of recovery and patient acceptability of a PROM survey for elective surgery. Methods: We sampled patients with a broad range of elective surgeries from four major Australian hospitals to evaluate (1) feasibility of the technology used to implement the PROMs across geographically dispersed sites, (2) response rates for automated short message service (SMS) versus email survey delivery formats, (3) the degree of recovery at one and four weeks post-surgery as measured by the Quality of Recovery 15 Item PROM (QoR-15), and (4) patient acceptability of PROMS based on survey and focus group results. Feasibility and acceptability recommendations were then co-designed with stakeholders, based on the data. Results: Over three months there were 5985 surveys responses from 20,052 surveys (30% response rate). Feasibility testing revealed minor and infrequent technical difficulties in automated email and SMS administration of PROMs prior to surgery. The response rate for the QoR-15 was 34.8% (n = 3108/8919) for SMS and 25.8% (n = 2877/11,133) for email. Mean QoR-15 scores were 122.1 (SD 25.2; n = 1021); 113.1 (SD 27.7; n = 1906) and 123.4 (SD 26.84; n = 1051) for pre-surgery and one and four weeks post-surgery, respectively. One week after surgery, 825 of the 1906 responses (43%) exceeded 122.6 (pre-surgery average), and at four weeks post-surgery, 676 of the 1051 responses (64%) exceeded 122.6 (pre-surgery average). The PROM survey was highly acceptable with 76% (n = 2830/3739) of patients rating 8/10 or above for acceptability. Fourteen patient driven recommendations were then co-developed. Conclusion: Administering PROMS electronically for elective surgery hospital patients was feasible, acceptable and discriminated changes in surgical recovery over time. Patient co-design and involvement provided innovative and practical solutions to implementation and new recommendations for implementation.
title: The Effects That Dietary Manipulations of Zinc and Copper Have on Nest Building, Zinc Transporter and Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein Expression in a Transgenic Mouse Model of Alzheimer’s Disease

description: The role of essential trace elements, such as zinc and copper, in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has received much attention in the last decade. Zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) are involved in many biological processes. Amyloid-β (Aβ) interacts with these metal ions, sequesters them, and causes an intracellular decrease in Zn and Cu. In this study, we characterize nest building ability, zinc transporter 3 (ZnT3) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) expression in wildtype (WT) and transgenic (J20) mice in one of three dietary conditions: regular lab water (LW) with a copper-control (CC) diet (LW/CC); regular LW with a copper-deficient (CD) diet (LW/CD); or lab water enhanced with 10 ppm ZnCO3 with the CC diet (Zn/CC). Based on previous work from our laboratory, Zn-enhanced water was shown to induce behavioral deficits, but when Cu was added to the Zn drinking water, the behavioral deficits were abrogated. Other studies however have shown that Cu-deficiency may be beneficial in AD. We sought out to evaluate what mechanisms may be involved in Zn supplementation and whether or not there would be similar results between the two manipulated diets. Surprisingly, J20 mice significantly outperformed WT mice in the nesting assay, but in only the LW/CC condition. Males outperformed females on the nesting assay, but again this was significant in only the LW/CC group (p<.05). ZnT3 levels were not observed to be different based on genotype, but diet did induce higher expression of ZnT3 (p<.10), with the Zn/CC group expressing the highest and the control LW/CC group expressing the least amount (p<.05). GFAP levels were less consistent but the manipulated diets induced higher expression of GFAP (p < .10). Also, the only genotypic difference was observed in the control LW/CC which shows that the manipulated diets made the WT mice take on a J20 profile. These data warrant further investigation into the role of dietary Zn and Cu therapeutics.

description: Autotransporters are the core component of a molecular nano-machine that delivers cargo proteins across the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. Part of the type V secretion system, this large family of proteins play a central role in controlling bacterial interactions with their environment by promoting adhesion to surfaces, biofilm formation, host colonization and invasion as well as cytotoxicity and immunomodulation. As such, autotransporters are key facilitators of fitness and pathogenesis and enable co-operation or competition with other bacteria. Recent years have witnessed a dramatic increase in the number of autotransporter sequences reported and a steady rise in functional studies, which further link these proteins to multiple virulence phenotypes. In this review we provide an overview of our current knowledge on classical autotransporter proteins, the archetype of this protein superfamily. We also carry out a phylogenetic analysis of their functional domains and present a new classification system for this exquisitely diverse group of bacterial proteins. The sixteen phylogenetic divisions identified establish sensible relationships between well characterized autotransporters and inform structural and functional predictions of uncharacterized proteins, which may guide future research aimed at addressing multiple unanswered aspects in this group of therapeutically important bacterial factors.

description:   
Background: Little is known about muscle morphology in people with hip-related pain, without signs of femoro-acetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). Identifying changes in hip muscle volume, fatty infiltrate and establishing relationships between muscle volume and strength, may provide insight into potential early treatment strategies. 
Purposes: To: (i) compare the volumes and fatty infiltrate of gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, gluteus minimis, tensor fascia latae and quadratus femoris between symptomatic and less-symptomatic sides of participants with hip-related pain; (ii) compare the volumes and fatty infiltrate of hip muscles between healthy controls and symptomatic participants; and (iii) explore relationships of hip muscle volumes to muscle strength and patient-reported outcome measures in people with hip-related pain. 
Study Design: Cross-sectional study.
Methods: Muscle volume and fatty infiltrate (from magnetic resonance imaging), hip muscle strength, patient-reported symptoms, function and quality of life (QOL) were determined for 16 participants with hip-related pain (no clinical signs of FAIS; 37±9 years) and 15 controls (31±9 years). Using One Way Analysis of Co-Variance tests, muscle volume and fatty infiltrate was compared between the symptomatic and less-symptomatic sides in participants with hip-related pain as well as between healthy controls and symptomatic participants. In addition, hip muscle volume was correlated with hip muscle strength, hip-reported symptoms, function and QOL. 
Results: No differences in all the studied muscle volumes or fatty infiltrate were identified between the symptomatic and less-symptomatic hips of people with hip-related pain; or between people with and without hip-related pain. Greater GMED volume on the symptomatic side was associated with less symptoms and better function and QOL (ρ=0.522-0.617) for those with hip-related pain. Larger GMAX volume was associated with greater hip abduction and internal rotation strength, larger GMED volume was associated with greater hip extension strength, and larger QF volume was associated with greater hip abduction strength (rho=0.507-0.638).
Conclusion: People with hip-related pain and no clinical signs of FAIS have hip muscle volumes that are not significantly different than those of matched pain-free controls or their less-symptomatic hip. Larger GMED muscle volume was associated with fewer symptoms and greater strength.

description: A probabilistic circuit (PC) succinctly expresses a function that represents a multivariate probability distribution and, given sufficient structural properties of the circuit, supports efficient probabilistic inference. Typically a PC computes the probability mass (or density) function (PMF or PDF) of the distribution. We consider PCs instead computing the cumulative distribution function (CDF). We show that for distributions over binary random variables these representations (PMF and CDF) are essentially equivalent, in the sense that one can be transformed to the other in polynomial time. We then show how a similar equivalence holds for distributions over finite discrete variables using a modification of the standard encoding with binary variables that aligns with the CDF semantics. Finally we show that for continuous variables, smooth, decomposable PCs computing PDFs and CDFs can be efficiently transformed to each other by modifying only the leaves of the circuit.

description: Proteases are enzymes that regulate substrates via proteolytic activation and coordinate essential cellular functions including DNA replication, DNA transcription, cell proliferation, differentiation, migration and apoptosis. However, techniques to identify proteolytic events in a high-throughput manner is limited. PROtein TOpography and Migration Analysis Platform (PROTOMAP) is a technique that relies on mass spectrometry-based proteomics to globally identify the shifts in the in-gel migration of proteins and their corresponding fragments that are obtained by proteolysis. However, user-friendly software tool to analyse the proteomic data to identify proteolytic events is needed. Here, we report Pep2Graph, a user-friendly standalone tool that integrates peptide sequence information from in-gel proteomics and presents the data as two-dimensional peptographs with in-gel migration, sequence coverage and MS/MS spectra counts. Pep2Graph (http://www.mathivananlab.org/Pep2Graph) allows users to utilize in-gel proteomics data to study proteolytic events that may play a significant role in normal physiology and pathology.

description: Wall-associated kinases/kinase-likes (WAKs/WAKLs) are plant cell surface sensors. A variety of studies have revealed the important functions of WAKs/WAKLs in regulating cell expansion and defense in cells with primary cell walls. Less is known about their roles during the development of the secondary cell walls (SCWs) that are present in xylem vessel (XV) and interfascicular fiber (IF) cells. In this study, we used RNA-seq data to screen Arabidopsis thaliana WAKs/WAKLs members that may be involved in SCW development and identified WAKL8 as a candidate. We obtained T-DNA insertion mutants wakl8-1 (inserted at the promoter region) and wakl8-2 (inserted at the first exon) and compared the phenotypes to wild-type (WT) plants. Decreased WAKL8 transcript levels in stems were found in the wakl8-2 mutant plants, and the phenotypes observed included reduced stem length and thinner walls in XV and IFs compared with those in the WT plants. Cell wall analysis showed no significant changes in the crystalline cellulose or lignin content in mutant stems compared with those in the WT. We found that WAKL8 had alternative spliced versions predicted to have only extracellular regions, which may interfere with the function of the full-length version of WAKL8. Our results suggest WAKL8 can regulate SCW thickening in Arabidopsis stems.

description: The topological electronic structure plays a central role in the non-trivial physical properties in topological quantum materials. A minimal, hydrogen-atom-like topological electronic structure is desired for researches. In this work, we demonstrate an effort towards the realization of such a system in the intrinsic magnetic topological insulator MnBi2Te4, by manipulating the topological surface state (TSS) via surface modification. Using high resolution laser- and synchrotron-based angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), we found the TSS in MnBi2Te4 is heavily hybridized with a trivial Rashba-type surface state (RSS), which could be efficiently removed by the in situ surface potassium (K) dosing. By employing multiple experimental methods to characterize K dosed surface, we attribute such a modification to the electrochemical reactions of K clusters on the surface. Our work not only gives a clear band assignment in MnBi2Te4, but also provides possible new routes in accentuating the topological behavior in the magnetic topological quantum materials.

description: Background: An important service system for rural parents experiencing complex trauma is primary health care. Aim: To investigate workforce knowledge, attitudes and practices, and barriers and enablers to trauma-informed care in rural primary health care. Material & Methods: This study used a descriptive, cross-sectional design. It involved an on-line survey conducted in 2021 in rural Victoria, Australia. Participants were the primary health care workforce. The main outcome measures were study-developed and included, a 21-item Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices tool, a 16-item Barriers and Enablers to Trauma-Informed Care Implementation tool, and three open-ended questions. Results: The 63 respondents were from community health (n = 40, 63%) and child and family services (n = 23, 37%). Many (n = 43, 78%) reported undertaking trauma-informed care training at some point in their career; with 32% (n = 20) during higher education. Respondents self-rated their knowledge, attitudes and practices positively. Perceived enablers were mainly positioned within the service (e.g. workforce motivation and organisational supports) and perceived barriers were largely external structural factors (e.g. availability of universal referral pathways, therapeutic-specific services). Open-ended comments were grouped into four themes: (1) Recognition and understanding; (2) Access factors; (3) Multidisciplinary and collaborative approaches; and (4) Strengths-based and outcome-focused approaches. Discussion & Conclusion: Primary health care is an important driver of population health and well-being and critical in rural contexts. Our findings suggest this sector needs a rural trauma-informed care implementation strategy to address structural barriers. This also requires policy and system development. Long-term investment in the rural workforce and primary care service settings is essential to integrate trauma-informed care.

description: Deep models for Multivariate Time Series (MTS) forecasting have recently demonstrated significant success. Channel-dependent models capture complex dependencies that channel-independent models cannot capture. However, the number of channels in real-world applications outpaces the capabilities of existing channel-dependent models, and contrary to common expectations, some models underperform the channel-independent models in handling high-dimensional data, which raises questions about the performance of channel-dependent models. To address this, our study first investigates the reasons behind the suboptimal performance of these channel-dependent models on high-dimensional MTS data. Our analysis reveals that two primary issues lie in the introduced noise from unrelated series that increases the difficulty of capturing the crucial inter-channel dependencies, and challenges in training strategies due to high-dimensional data. To address these issues, we propose STHD, the Scalable Transformer for High-Dimensional Multivariate Time Series Forecasting. STHD has three components: a) Relation Matrix Sparsity that limits the noise introduced and alleviates the memory issue; b) ReIndex applied as a training strategy to enable a more flexible batch size setting and increase the diversity of training data; and c) Transformer that handles 2-D inputs and captures channel dependencies. These components jointly enable STHD to manage the high-dimensional MTS while maintaining computational feasibility. Furthermore, experimental results show STHD's considerable improvement on three high-dimensional datasets: Crime-Chicago, Wiki-People, and Traffic. The source code and dataset are publicly available https://github.com/xinzzzhou/ScalableTransformer4HighDimensionMTSF.git.

description: For direct imaging of exoplanets, Scalar Vortex Coronagraphs (SVCs) are an attractive alternative to the popularly used Vector Vortex Coronagraphs (VVCs). This is primarily because they are able to induce the same phase ramp regardless of the incoming light's polarization state. We tested a set of stepped SVC staircase masks in the Exoplanet Technology Laboratory (ET Lab) at Caltech on the High-Contrast Spectroscopy Testbed (HCST). Here we present some preliminary findings of their starlight suppression ability, achieving raw contrasts on the order of 1e-5 for 7 to 9 lambda/D. We also characterized their chromatic performance and performed wavefront control to achieve preliminary contrasts on the order of 1e-7 with EFC. These initial experimental results with SVCs have shown scalar vortex technology has a great potential for future exoplanet direct imaging missions.

The aim of this study was to explore geographic variation in knowledge, attitudes, and experiences of service providers who implemented an EBP policy in Australia's largest place-based initiative for children, Communities for Children. A cross-sectional online survey of Communities for Children service providers was conducted in 2018–2019, yielding 197 participants from all of Australia's eight states and territories. Relationships between two measures of ‘place’ (thick and thin market states; urbanicity: urban, regional and remote) and study-designed measures of knowledge, attitudes, and implementation experiences were analyzed using adjusted logistic and multinomial regressions. Participants from thin market states (outside the Eastern Seaboard) were more resistant to the policy and experienced greater implementation challenges than those from thick market states (Eastern Seaboard). Regional participants reported greater knowledge about EBPs but experienced greater dissatisfaction and implementation challenges with the policy than both urban and remote participants. Our study found that place does matter when implementing EBPs in a place-based initiative.

description: Sentiment Analysis is currently a vital area of research. With the advancement in the use of the internet, the creation of social media, websites, blogs, opinions, ratings, etc. has increased rapidly. People express their feedback and emotions on social media posts in the form of likes, dislikes, comments, etc. The rapid growth in the volume of viewer-generated or user-generated data or content on YouTube has led to an increase in YouTube sentiment analysis. Due to this, analyzing the public reactions has become an essential need for information extraction and data visualization in the technical domain. This research predicts YouTube Ad view sentiments using Deep Learning and Machine Learning algorithms like Linear Regression (LR), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest (RF), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Finally, a comparative analysis is done based on experimental results acquired from different models.

description: Migraine is a poorly understood neurological disorder and a leading cause of disability in young adults, particularly women. Migraines are characterized by recurring episodes of severe pulsating unilateral headache and usually visual symptoms. Currently there is some disagreement in the electrophysiological literature regarding the universality of all migraineurs exhibiting physiological visual impairments also during interictal periods (i.e., the symptom free period between migraines). Thus, this meta-analysis investigated the evidence for altered visual function as measured electrophysiologically via pattern-reversal visual evoked potential (VEP) amplitudes and habituation in adult migraineurs with or without visual aura and controls in the interictal period. Twenty-three studies were selected for random effects meta-analysis which demonstrated slightly diminished VEP amplitudes in the early fast conducting P100 component but not in N135, and substantially reduced habituation in the P100 and the N135 in migraineurs with and without visual aura symptoms compared to controls. No statistical differences were found between migraineurs with and without aura, possibly due to inadequate studies. Overall, insufficient published data and substantial heterogeneity between studies was observed for all latency components of pattern-reversal VEP, highlighting the need for further electrophysiological experimentation and more targeted temporal analysis of visual function, in episodic migraineurs.
title: On Elastic Stability and Positive Definiteness for One-Dimensional Quasicrystals

description: In this work, a proper formulation of the elastic stability and positive definiteness of the elastic energy density of one-dimensional quasicrystals is provided. Based on an appropriate Voigt notation, the Sylvester criterion is applied and the necessary and sufficient conditions for the positive definiteness of the elastic energy density imposed on the elastic constants are derived for each Laue class from 4 to 10 of one-dimensional quasicrystals. Comparisons of the obtained sets of the necessary and sufficient conditions of one-dimensional quasicrystals with the corresponding ones of crystals are made, revealing that the phason fields, which characterize the quasicrystalline structure in any case, considerably influence the number as well as the degree of the obtained inequalities.

description: This thesis describes how Title IX has contributed to the progress in women’s sports and female participation numbers at all levels since its implementation in 1972. However, while the law has contributed to increased participation on the playing field, Title IX has not generated similar opportunities for women in coaching and upper level administrative positions in sport. The areas that are examined in this thesis are women’s experiences in coaching and athletic administration, and the policies that shape the opportunities available to them. A detailed analysis was conducted pertaining to the case of Stanley v. The University of Southern California with the intention of identifying barriers that women face when working in the sport industry. Finally, based on the surveyed literature, as well as this case study, suggestions are offered for improving opportunities for women both on and off the playing field.

description: When two-color femtosecond laser pulses interact with matter, electrons can be emitted through various multiphoton excitation pathways. Quantum interference between these pathways gives rise to a strong oscillation of the photoemitted electron current, experimentally characterized by its visibility. In this work, we demonstrate two-color visibility spectroscopy of multi-photon photoemission from a solid-state nanoemitter. We investigate the quantum pathway interference visibility over an almost octave-spanning wavelength range of the fundamental femtosecond laser pulses and their second-harmonic. The photoemission shows a high visibility of 90% +/- 5%, with a remarkably constant distribution. Furthermore, by varying the relative intensity ratio of the two colors, we find that we can vary the visibility between 0 and close to 100%. A simple but highly insightful theoretical model allows us to explain all observations, with excellent quantitative agreements. We expect this work to be universal to all kinds of photo-driven quantum interference, including quantum control in physics, chemistry and quantum engineering.

description: We propose an innovative approach to model and predict the outcome of football matches based on the Poisson Autoregression with eXogenous covariates (PARX) model recently proposed by Agosto, Cavaliere, Kristensen and Rahbek (2016). We show that this methodology is particularly suited to model the goals distribution of a football team and provides a good forecast performance that can be exploited to develop a profitable betting strategy. The betting strategy is based on the idea that the odds proposed by the market do not reflect the true probability of the match because they may incorporate also the betting volumes or strategic price settings in order to exploit bettors’ biases. The out-of-sample performance of the PARX model is better than the reference approach by Dixon and Coles (1997). We also evaluate our approach in a simple betting strategy which is applied to the English football Premier League data for the 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 seasons. The results show that the return from the betting strategy is larger than 35% in all the cases considered and may even exceed 100% if we consider an alternative strategy based on a predetermined threshold which allows to exploit the inefficiency of the betting market.

description: Cognitive biases lead entrepreneurs to overinvest in their own companies, over exposing themselves to idiosyncratic risk. Our novel theoretical model explains entrepreneurial under-diversification by measuring the amount of potential bias in entrepreneurs’ portfolio allocations brought about by overconfidence and over optimism. Simulation analyses based on our model allow us calculating the implicit levels of overconfidence and over optimism from observable portfolio choices. Finally, using a unique dataset including cross-regional data on Italian entrepreneurs and a structural equation modeling approach, we test the effect of overconfidence and over optimism on entrepreneurs’ portfolio allocations. Consistent with our theoretical predictions, we find a positive relationship between overconfidence and entrepreneur investments in their own companies. On the other hand, the role of over optimism seems to be negligible.

description: Performance and energy consumption in modern computing platforms is largely dominated by the memory hierarchy. The increasing computational power in the multiprocessors and accelerators, and the emergence of the data-intensive workloads (e.g. large-scale graph traversal and scientific algorithms) requiring fast transfer of large volumes of data, are two main trends which intensify this problem by putting even higher pressure on the memory hierarchy. This increasing gap between computation speed and data transfer speed is commonly referred as the “memory wall” problem. With the emergence of heterogeneous Three Dimensional (3D) Integration based on through-silicon-vias (TSV), this situation has started to recover in the past years. On one hand, it is now possible to improve memory access bandwidth and/or latency by either stacking memories directly on top of processors or through abstracted memory interfaces such as Micron’s Hybrid Memory Cube (HMC). On the other hand, near memory computation has become worthy of revisiting due to the cost-effective integration of logic and memory in 3D stacks. These two directions bring about several interesting opportunities including performance improvement, energy and cost reduction, product miniaturization, and modular design for improved time to market. In this research, we study the effectiveness of the 3D integration technology and the optimization opportunities which it can provide in the different layers of the memory hierarchy in cluster-based many-core platforms ranging from intra-cluster L1 to inter-cluster L2 scratchpad memories (SPMs), as well as the main memory. In addition, by moving a part of the computation to where data resides, in the 3D-stacked memory context, we demonstrate further energy and performance improvement opportunities.
