Cold Acclimatization in Eskimo

0 N EXPOSURE to cold the body has a complicated physiological problem to solve. There is a limit to the heat it can produce to provide for an increased heat loss and during exposure of much severity a heat deficit is incurred.

eskimo: EXPERIMENTING WITH SKELETONS

We discuss the lack of expressivity in some skeleton-based parallel programming frameworks. The problem is further exacerbated when approaching irregular problems and dealing with dynamic data structures. Shared memory programming has been argued to have substantial ease of programming advantages for this class of problems. We present the eskimo library which represents an attempt to merge the ...

Although mercury levels are not discernably dangerous, trends to larger accumulations in maternal and fetal RBC and placental tissue with pro...
