Understanding the Impact of Input Entropy on FPU, CPU, and GPU Power Open
Power is increasingly becoming a limiting resource in high-performance, GPU-accelerated computing systems. Understanding the range and sources of power variation is essential in setting realistic bounds on rack and system peak power, and d…

Viable but nonculturable bacteria and their resuscitation: implications for cultivating uncultured marine microorganisms Open
Culturing has been the cornerstone of microbiology since Robert Koch first successfully cultured bacteria in the late nineteenth century. However, even today, the majority of microorganisms in the marine environment remain uncultivated. Th…

Larva of the greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella, is a suitable alternative host for studying virulence of fish pathogenic Vibrio anguillarum Open
The G. mellonella model is simple, more ethically acceptable than experiments on vertebrates and, crucially, does not necessitate liquid systems, which reduces infrastructure requirements and biohazard risks associated with contaminated wa…
