Goffman defined stigma as an “attribute that is deeply discrediting and that reduces the bearer from a whole and usual person to a tainted, discounted one”. 1 Considering the literature, it can be clearly seen that patient groups with AIDS...

DUN ZHOU et al: IMPROVING EFFICIENCY FOR CUDA-BASED VOLUME RENDERING BY COMBINING ..

The objective of this paper is to present a speed-up method to improve the rendering speed of ray casting at the same time obtaining high-quality images. Ray casting is the most commonly used volume rendering algorithm, and suitable for parallel processing. In order to improve the efficiency of parallel processing, the latest platform-Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) is used. The spee...

Transpiration stream & ascension of calcium.

Since Cline's report (5) of a very slow equilibration in the leaves of tritiated water absorbed by the roots of bean plants, no resolution has been made between his expressed alternative views that this was due A, to failure of tissue water to exchange with the incoming tritium-labeled water, or B, to a large isotope effect.
