Abstract The foraminiferal contents of the lower–middle Miocene succession exposed in three sections north Nur Abad on northwestern side High Zagros Thrust Belt were studied. Assemblages larger foraminifera from these can be referred to Zone SBZ 25 (and Miogypsina globulus and intermedia subzones), which correlates with Burdigalian Stage. For first time, planktonic documented area document Lang...

RAF kinase inhibitors can induce ERK cascade signaling by promoting dimerization of RAF family members in the presence of oncogenic or normally activated RAS. This interaction is mediated by a dimer interface region in the RAF kinase domain that is conserved in members of the ERK cascade scaffold family, kinase suppressor of RAS (KSR). In this study, we find that most RAF inhibitors also induce...

According to the reports presented at the Asian Radiology Forum 2015, organized by the Korean Society of Radiology (KSR) during the Korean Congress of Radiology (KCR) in September 2015 in Seoul, there is an increasing need to promote international exchange and collaboration amongst radiology societies in Asian countries. The Asian Radiology Forum was first held by KSR and the national delegates...

Here we give proof to the best suitable normalization method for the Selective Eigen Rate (SER) a novel technique, that is used in selecting only the higher rate of principal components (PCs) for using them in Principal Component Analysis (PCA) while separating Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, to enable single trial analysis. SER technique is designed and i...

We examined levels and patterns of nucleotide variation in 21 strains of Drosophila kikkawai from Miyako island, Japan for the partial regions of the following seven nuclear genes: Adh, Ddc, esc, ksr, Pgi, su(f), and Tpi. The nucleotide variation at total sites (pi(t)) ranged from 0.0013 in the ksr, to 0.0173 in the Adh. The nucleotide divergence at total sites (K(t)) between D. kikkawai and D....

Converting sequential programs to execute on parallel computers is diicult because of the need to globally optimize for both par-allelism and data locality. The choice of which loop nests to parallelize, and how, drastically aaects data locality. Similarly, data distribution directives, such as DISTRIBUTE in High Performance Fortran (HPF), affects available parallelism and locality. What is nee...

Component Analysis (PCA) to extract Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) signals, the selection of principal components (PCs) is an important issue. We propose a new method here that selects only the appropriate PCs. We denote the method as selective eigen-rate (SER). In the method, the VEP is reconstructed based on the rate of the eigen-values of the PCs. When this technique is applied on emulated VE...

The Convex Exemplar (SPP1000 and SPP2000 series) is a new commercial distributed shared-memory architecture. Using a set of system kernels and two application programs, we examine performance eeects on network latency, hot spot contention, cache coherence and overall scaling capability, which result both from the choice of the network structure as well as from its CC-NUMA memory system feature....
