Background: Iron chelators are an important part of management of patients with thalassemia. It is prudent to compare efficacy of different iron chelators in treatment of iron overload in these patients who receive regular blood transfusion. We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of available oral iron chelator; Deferasirox (Exjade®) with Deferasirox (Osveral®) in reducing iron ove...

Data load balancing is one of the key problems of big data technology. As a big data application, Hadoop has had many successful applications. HDFS is Hadoop Distributed File System and has the load balancing procedure which can balance the storage load on each machine. However, this method cannot balance the overload rack preferentially, and so it is likely to cause the breakdown of overload m...

A general class of overload control mechanism for communication and switching systems is mode led and analyzed in this paper. The overload indicator is considered to be the amount of unfinished work in the system. The overload control is based on a throttling mechanism for new arriving requests when the load status of the system is above a predefined threshold. The input process, modeling the s...

This study examines the effects of information consistency and information aggregation on eWOM readers’ perception of information overload; we also examine the influence of information overload on eWOM readers’ perception of information usefulness. An online experiment using a stimulated online consumers’ review forum, which manipulated the two factors-information consistency (high and low) and...

This paper discusses the concept of information, participation and collaboration overload in relation to end-user development support. The concept of information, participation and collaboration overload are very interesting and relevant points of view for analysing support in the context of end-user development. The end-user developer, working in an unfamiliar domain, is very likely to suffer ...

Plastic film mulching (PM) is widely utilized for maize production in China. However, the effect of PM on the grain yield of crops has not been established, and the biochemical mechanism underlying the increase or decrease in grain yield under PM is not yet understood. Grain filling markedly affects the grain yield. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of PM on maize grain...

There is little consensus about how natural (e.g. productivity, disturbance) and anthropogenic (e.g. invasive species, habitat destruction) ecological drivers influence biodiversity. Here, we show that when sampling is standardised by area (species density) or individuals (rarefied species richness), the measured effect sizes depend critically on the spatial grain and extent of sampling, as wel...

The objective of this study was to develop a flow model for grain combinesbased on the laboratory and field response of an impact based grain flow sensor. The grainflow model developed in this study is of first order with constant coefficients. A computercode was written to solve the model and to simulate the response of a yield sensor whoseresponse had been determined previously for various ty...

If you can look into the seeds of time, And say which grain will grow, and which will not, Speak then to me.
