Device Interface (ADI ) Channel Device Interface Low-level device MPI Implementation MPI Application Communication Device Figure 1. MPICH layered software architecture The deficiencies of the MPICH architecture, such as inefficient multi-fabric communication and non-thread-safety are rooted in the ADI and Device layers. In order to make further discussion specific, we present the ADI and CDI in...

The parental report-based Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R) and the clinician observation-based Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) have been validated primarily in U.S. clinics specialized in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), in which most children are referred by their parents because of ASD concern. This study assessed diagnostic agreement of the ADOS-2 and ADI-R toddler al...

Two approaches for approximating the solution of large-scale Lyapunov equations are considered: the alternating direction implicit (ADI) iteration and projective methods by Krylov subspaces. A link between them is presented by showing that the ADI iteration can always be identified by a Petrov-Galerkin projection with rational block Krylov subspaces. Then a unique Krylov-projected dynamical sys...

A novel formulation of approximate truncated balanced realization (TBR) is introduced to unify three approaches: two iterative methods for solving the underlying Lyapunov equations – the alternating directions implicit (ADI) iteration and the rational Krylov subspace method (RKSM) – and a two-step procedure that performs a Krylov-based projection and subsequently direct TBR. The framework allow...

Background The use of shielding tools and X-ray beam collimator has extensively been advocated as effective methods to reduce radiation exposure to patients underwent radiological procedures. The aim of this study was to address the use of these protection measures during infant chest radiography. Material and Methods 348digital and/or analogue infant chest radiographs were reviewed that perfor...

Parallel ADI and CG methods based on the time-linearization of the three-dimensional , reaction-diffusion equations which govern the propagation of spiral waves in excitable media, have been implemented on both shared-and distributed-memory computers. ADI has been implemented by means of a dynamic block cartesian decomposition and its efficiency tends to that of the CG technique as the mesh is ...

Without the Independence Axiom, a weaker substitution axiom, “ADI,” is necessary for the preferences over money lotteries induced by the money metric utility function to be well behaved. Given ADI, the agent’s preferences over manygood lotteries can be reconstructed from knowledge of preferences over money lotteries and over sure multivariate outcomes. Moreover, other substitution properties of...

Within an Audio-Visual Speech Recognition (AVSR) framework an important process is video feature extraction. Several methods are available, but all of them require mouth region extraction. To achieve this, a semi-automatic system based on nostril detection is presented. The system is designed to work on ordinary frontal videos and to be able to recover brief nostril occlusion. Using the nostril...

Enterprise systems are mission critical. As a result, ensuring their correctness is of primary concern. This paper aids to the analysis of Web Applications, focusing on the aspects related to the interaction of business logic and Web browsers. The method adopted is based on the Model Driven Architecture. First, the Platform Independent Model of Web Applications is refined to create a new model ...

In spite of recent advances in the treatment of retinoblastoma, chemotherapy is still challenging in high-stage intraocular retinoblastoma or metastatic retinoblastoma. Here, we investigated whether arginine deprivation via arginine deiminase (ADI) could be a new anti-tumor therapy in retinoblastoma cells. Expression of argininosuccinate synthetase (ASS) was detected in human retinoblastoma tis...
