Synchronous colorectal carcinoma refers to more than one primary colorectal carcinoma detected in a single patient at initial presentation. A literature review has shown that the prevalence of the disease is approximately 3.5% of all colorectal carcinomas. This disease has a male to female ratio of 1.8:1. The mean age at presentation of patients with synchronous colorectal cancer is in the earl...

Skeletons ooer the opportunity to improve parallel software development by providing a template-based approach to program design. However , due to the large number of architectural models available and the lack of adequate performance prediction models, such templates have to be opti-mised for each architecture separately. This paper proposes a programming environment based on the Bulk Synchron...

This paper shows a methodology for Globally-AsynchronousLocally-Synchronous (GALS) systems specification and verification. The distributed system is specified by non-autonomous Petri net modules, obtained after the partition of a (global) Petri net model. These modules are represented using IOPT (Input-Output Place-Transition) Petri net models, communicating through dedicated communication chan...

With the increased affordances of synchronous communication tools, more opportunities for online learning to resemble face-to-face settings have recently become available. However, synchronous communication does not afford as much time for reflection as asynchronous communication. Therefore, a combination of synchronous and asynchronous communication in e-learning would seem desirable to optima...
