to study the effect of depression on the endocrine and immune systems, 557 male freshman and sophomore medical students (20-30 years old) were given beck's depression inventory. students with marks 5 or above were selected as the control (n=26) and those with marks of 20 or higher were chosen as the test group (n=27). all of the students were subjected to the following tests: cbc, differen...

Commodity parallel computers are no longer a technology predicted for some indistinct future: they are becoming ubiquitous. In the absence of significant advances in clock speed, chip-multiprocessors (CMPs) and symmetric multithreading (SMT) are the modern workhorses that keep Moore’s Law still relevant. On the software side, we are starting to observe the adaptation of some codes to the new co...

In this paper, we model dyadic human conversational interactions from a nonlinear dynamical systems perspective. We focus on deriving measures of the underlying system complexity using the observed dyadic behavioral signals. Specifically, we analyze different measures of complexity in prosody of speech (pitch and energy) during dyadic conversations of couples with marital conflict. We evaluate ...

in this paper, we consider a class of column-weight two quasi-cyclic low-density paritycheck codes in which the girth can be large enough, as an arbitrary multiple of 8. then we devote a convolutional form to these codes, such that their generator matrix can be obtained by elementary row and column operations on the parity-check matrix. finally, we show that the free distance of the convolution...

The main features of (finite) multidimensional convolutional codes are introduced as properties of the codewords supports, and connected with the polynomial matrices (encoders) adopted for their description. Observability and local detectability are shown to be equivalent to the kernel representation of a code via some parity check matrix H . The input/output representation of convolutional cod...

Large scale QCD Monte Carlo calculations have typically been performed on either commercial supercomputers or specially built massively parallel computers. Commodity clusters equipped with high performance networking equipment present an attractive alternative, achieving superior performance to price ratios and offering clear upgrade paths. The U.S. Department of Energy, through the SciDAC (Sci...

in this paper, we propose space-time block codes based on constituent intersectant orthogonal designs. after channel model is formulated, we studied the space-time block codes from constituent intersectant orthogonal designs. at last we made simulations for the space-time block codes from complex orthogonal design and the space-time block codes from constituent intersectant orthogonal design to...
