Programming distributed-memory machines requires careful placement of data to balance the computationalload among the nodes and minimize excess data movement between the nodes. Most current approaches to data placement require the programmer or compiler to place data initially and then possibly to move it explicitly during a computation. This paper describes a new, adaptive approach. It is impl...

Background Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) with delayed gadolinium enhancement (DE) enables accurate infarct size measurement, however, the evaluation of infarct size using a threshold method is time consuming and relies on accurate placement of normal regions of interest and manual delineation of the infarct size. The purpose of the study was to analyze the accuracy and expenditure of...

There is growing interest in marine direct current (DC) resistivity methods for sub-seafloor exploration of a broad range of geophysical and geological targets. To address this, we have developed a new marine DC method with a vertical electrode configuration (VEC). Compared to conventional marine DC methods that use a horizontal electrode configuration, the shape and position of our VEC cable c...

OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of using Euclidean measurements and zip-code centroid geo-imputation versus more precise spatial analytical techniques in health care research. DATA SOURCES Commercially insured members from a southeastern managed care organization. STUDY DESIGN Distance from admitting inpatient facility to member's home and zip-code centroid (geographic placement) was comp...

Motion analysis using inertial measurement units (IMU) has emerged as an alternative to optical motion capture. However, the validity and reliability of upper limb measurements varies significantly between studies. The objective this study was determine how sensor placement affects kinematic output in assessment arm, shoulder, scapula. IMUs were placed proximally/distally on arms, medially/late...

Background Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) enables infarct and edema size measurement on LGEand T2wCMR, respectively. However, evaluation of infarct and edema size using a threshold method is time consuming and relies on accurate placement of normal regions of interest and manual delineation of the respective areas. The purpose of the study was to analyze the accuracy and expenditure o...
