The container includes one or more zones in which product may be contained, a zone (216) in which a first kind of chemical reactant may be contained and a zone (215) in which a second kind of chemical reactant may be contained, the container including a rotatable activator (204...

The present invention provides new methods and uses of peptides in effecting a reduction in mammary cell number. The discovery that these peptides reduce mammary cell number further enables the use of these peptides in the treatment of cancer where the peptides can be used to reduce cell number and accordingly reduce or prevent tumour development. The inventor has further shown that the peptides h...

A microprocessor may include one or more functional units configured to execute operations, a scheduler configured to issue operations to the functional units for execution, and at least one replay detection unit. The scheduler may be configured to maintain state information for each operation. Such state information may, among other things, indicate whether an associated operation has completed e...

Cache memory interrupt service routines (ISRs) influence the replacement of necessary instructions of the instruction stream they interrupt; it is known as "instruction cache washing," since the instructions contained in the instruction cache prior to execution of the ISR are overwritten by the ISRs instructions. To reduce trashing of the instruction cache memory, the instruction cache is dynamica...
