Cellular automata can be used to design high-performance natural solvers on parallel computers. This paper describes the development of applications using CARPET, a high-level programming language based on the biology-inspired cellular automata theory. CARPET is a programming language designed for supporting the development of parallel high-performance software abstracting from the parallel arc...

ninteen samples of dust from wool and carpet-weaving places around tabriz were collected. dust mites of wool and carpet-weaving places were separated and identified based on morphological characteristics. genus and species of mites per gram of dusts, were determined. the results showed that dominant population of mites were:dermatophagoides farinae (64%), dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (21.5%),...

background: carpet weaving is an occupation that requires sufficient and appropriate lighting. the lighting in carpet weaving workshops affects the productivity and the physical and mental health of workers. therefore, the evaluation of the illumination and the identification of work stations requiring lighting modifications will be helpful in promotion of the health and safety of workers in ca...

A set of growth arrest-specific (gas) genes negatively regulated by serum has been identified. We report the analysis of the expression of one of them (gas-i) in transformed cells. We found a down regulation of gas-I expression in NIH 3T3 cells transfected in vitro with an activated Ha-ras oncogene. In five chemically-induced mouse tumours grown in vivo the amounts of gas-I mRNA were largely di...

3 Paragraph 4, lines 3 and 4, p. 2911: For the following sentence citing reference [60], units should be in μg/(m h); not in mg/(m h). On an area basis, caulking has the highest emission rate, 310 μg m h, among materials tested, followed by carpet pads (installed underneath carpets), 2.1 to 9.9 μg m h. Emission rates fell below 1 μg m h for other materials tested, which included solid and engin...

We consider a class of fractal subsets of Rd formed in a manner analogous to the construction of the Sierpinski carpet. We prove a uniform Harnack inequality for positive harmonic functions; study the heat equation, and obtain upper and lower bounds on the heat kernel which are, up to constants, the best possible; construct a locally isotropic diffusion X and determine its basic properties; and...

Purpose: To determine the relationship between refractive errors and ocular components values in carpet weavers Methods: Refractive errors and ocular components values were investigated in carpet weavers at Mashhad city in Iran. After selection of samples, the individuals who had ophthalmic and systemic disease effective on the refractive errors were excluded from the study. Refractive errors a...
