Parallel architectures with node-level accelerators promise significant performance improvements over conventional homogeneous systems. To cope with the increased complexity of programming such systems various pattern-based programming libraries have become available. In this paper we present our work on providing autotuning capabilities for two runtime libraries that provide parallel programmi...

This paper deals with the embedded network dedicated to the entertainment system of passenger cabin in an aircraft. The work described in this paper focuses on a wireless solution to interconnect the main components of this system. The selected solution is UWB with smart antennas. This solution is proved to be able to provide the system with the needed bandwidth. The self-configuration capabili...

We consider homogeneous varieties of linear algebras over an associative-commutative ring K with 1, i.e., the varieties in which free algebras are graded. Let F = F (x1, ..., xn) be a free algebra of some variety Θ of linear algebras over K freely generated by a set X = {x1, ..., xn}, EndF be the semigroup of endomorphisms of F , and Aut EndF be the group of automorphisms of the semigroup EndF ...

Thirteen states currently either mandate no-fault auto insurance or allow drivers to choose between no-fault and tort insurance. No-fault auto insurance requires individuals to carry personal injury protection (PIP) insurance that compensates them for economic losses sustained in automobile accidents, regardless of whoever is at fault, and prohibits individuals from suing for non-economic damag...

The existing IETF standards specify that IPv6 Neighbor Discovery and Address Autoconfiguration mechanisms MAY be protected with IPsec AH. However, the current specifications limit the security solutions to manual keying due to practical problems faced with automatic key management. This document specifies three different trust models and discusses the threats pertinent to IPv6 Neighbor Discover...

Non-motorized vehicles (i.e. rickshaws) and small size motorized vehicles (i.e. auto-rickshaws) are popular para-transit modes that provided door-to-door service in congested parts of Dhaka metropolitan area. Improper design of signal timing at signalized intersections is one of the reasons of traffic congestion in Dhaka metropolitan area. For capacity analysis, to convert the mixed traffic flo...

We report the effect of pressure support ventilation (PSV) on auto-PEEP in a patient with asthma. The patient showed a high level of auto-PEEP during spontaneous breathing through a T-piece. PSV effectively decreased auto-PEEP and inspiratory muscle effort with increasing levels of PSV.

Introduction Recurrent pericarditis (RP) has a controversial pathogenesis that crosses infectious, auto-immune and auto-inflammatory pathways. It has been suggested that in some cases it might be an unrecognized auto-inflammatory disease. Recent studies have demonstrated that anakinra, an interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA), represents an effective treatment for the control of corticoste...

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) relies heavily on the expansion of Medicaid eligibility to cover uninsured populations. In February 2008, Wisconsin expanded and reformed its Medicaid/CHIP program and, as part of program implementation, automatically enrolled a set of newly eligible parents and children. This process of "auto-enrollment" targeted newly eligible parents and o...
