Abstract: Improvements in a molecular-dynamic simulator provide ways to save energy during computation and reduce die area consumed on an integrated circuit. Examples of such improvements include different interaction modules for different ranges, the use of streaming along rows while multicasting along columns in an array of interaction modules, the selection of computation units based on balancing computational costs and communication costs, the use of fences in networks that connect computation units, and the use of bond calculators to carry out specialized bond calculations.

Abstract: The use of a PPAR agonist in the manufacture of a medicament to increase ruminant serum glucose concentrations, and preferably, the use for the palliative, prophylactic or curative treatment of ruminant disease associated with reduced serum glucose concentration. The ruminant disease associated with reduced serum glucose concentration includes fatty liver syndrome, dystocia, immune dysfunction, impaired immune function, toxification, primary ketosis, secondary ketosis, downer cow syndrome, indigestion, inappetence, retained placenta, displaced abomasum, mastitis, (endo-)-metritis, infertility, low fertility, lameness, subacute rumen acidosis and inadequate nutrient intake associated with stress e.g. heat, poor housing, overcrowding, shipping, dominance or illness, and to increase milk quality and yield.
