Exact inference is a key problem in exploring probabilistic graphical models. Most parallel algorithms for exact inference explore data and structural parallelism. These algorithms result in limited performance if the input model offers limited data and structural parallelism. In this paper, we study a pointer jumping based method on manycore systems for exact inference in junction trees. We ad...

In the present study, interactions of dopamine receptor agonists and antagonists with water swimming stress (WSS) on naloxone-induced jumping in morphine-dependent mice were examined. Mice were rendered dependent as described in the methods section. The opioid receptor antagonist, naloxone (1 mg/kg), was injected to elicit jumping (as a withdrawal sign). The first group exposed to WSS in the pr...

Small creatures have inherent mobility problems due to their stride limitation and small body size compared to surroundings. Meanwhile, some of them, such as locusts and fleas, have evolved to acquire better mobility by employing saltatorial (jumping) locomotion. In the similar context, the mobility of small-scale robots can be improved by jumping. To date, several small-scale jumping robots ha...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate relationships between functional asymmetry of lower limbs, taking into account morphological features of the feet, and jumping ability in men and women. METHODS The study population consisted of 56 subjects, 30 women (age: 20.29 ± 0.59 years; body mass: 58.13 ± 4.58 kg, body height: 165.60 ± 5.03 cm) and 26 men (age: 20.41 ± 0.78 years, body ma...

BACKGROUND Not all suicide methods are evenly distributed among different psychiatric disorders. METHODS In a nationwide sample of 505 suicides by persons in mental health care, the relationship between psychiatric diagnosis and suicide method was examined with chi(2) tests, logistic regression analyses and multinomial logistic regression analysis, including interactions with age, gender and ...

one of the most important parts of power transmission in automotives is c.v. joint, which consists of four components where exterior bowl is one of them. due to its complexity, and importance in automobile and existence of high stresses, forging process is the only cost effective method of production. hence, the best method of production of this part is forging process. the exterior part of c.v...
