This paper investigates the use of redundancy and self repairing against node failures indistributed storage systems using a novel non-MDS erasure code. In replication method, accessto one replication node is adequate to reconstruct a lost node, while in MDS erasure codedsystems which are optimal in terms of redundancy-reliability tradeoff, a single node failure isrepaired after recovering the ...

Background: Trauma is one of the main causes of maternal mortality and morbidity in societies, which annually causes millions of deaths worldwide and imposes a high financial burden on health facilities, the purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of physical trauma and its associated factors during pregnancy. Methods: All data for this cross-sectional study were collected from me...

A double-GPU code is developed to accelerate WENO schemes. The test problem is a compressible viscous flow. The convective terms are discretized using third- to ninth-order WENO schemes and the viscous terms are discretized by the standard fourth-order central scheme. The code written in CUDA programming language is developed by modifying a single-GPU code. The OpenMP library is used for parall...

conclusions: nearly half of the women presenting with trauma had experienced spousal feud or domestic violence; therefore, it is necessary to recognize spousal abuse and provide adequate support to traumatized pregnant women. background: trauma occurs in 7% of pregnancies and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the mother and fetus. objectives: the present study was conducted in kash...

abstract- studies of the epidemiology of civilian vascular trauma in developing countries are rather few. this is a prospective study of our experience with vascular trauma in a referral university hospital in tehran, iran. the aim was to study the etiology, pattern of injuries and the mortality and morbidity rates due to vascular trauma in our population. in this cross-sectional study, all tra...

BACKGROUND Many children who are victims of non-accidental trauma (NAT) may be repeatedly evaluated for injuries related to maltreatment. The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors for repeated injuries in children with suspected NAT. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study using claims data from a pediatric Medicaid accountable care organization. Children with birth cla...

INTRODUCTION An effective trauma system should offer patients triaged to a trauma center (TC) a survival advantage and cost-effective treatment. Three questions were asked: 1) Does treatment at a TC versus a nontrauma center (NTC) improve survival? 2) Is the system cost-effective? 3) Is access to the system equitable? METHODS The 2003 Florida discharge database identified patients with ICD9 c...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Several randomized controlled trials have not shown any added benefit of arthroscopy over placebo surgery or physiotherapy in middle-aged patients with knee symptoms without trauma. We studied the characteristics of the knee arthroscopies performed in southern Sweden. PATIENTS AND METHODS From the orthopedic surgical records from 2007-2009 in the Skåne region of Sweden ...
