Many tree-based multicast algorithms have been proposed to provide an eecient software implementation on parallel platforms without hardware multicast support. These algorithms are either architecture-dependent (not portable) or architecture-independent (portable) but do not provide good performance when porting to diierent parallel platforms. Based on the LogP model, the proposed parameterized...

Introduction: Sniffin’ Sticks smell identification test is a tool used for evaluation of olfactory function but the results are culture-dependent. It relies on the subject’s familiarity to the odorant and descriptors. This study aims to develop the Malaysian version of Sniffin’ Sticks smell identification test suitable for local population usage. Materials and Methods:   The o...

We define a set of overhead functions that capture the salient artifacts representing the interaction between parallel application characteristics and architectural features. An execution-driven simulation testbed is used to separate these overheads in a parallel system. Using this testbed and a set of applications, we address two important issues. The first concerns the use of machine abstract...

Binary Logistic Regression (BLR) has been developed as non-linear models to establish quantitative structure- activity relationships (QSAR) between structural descriptors and biochemical activity of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. Using a training set consisted of 21 compounds with known ki values, the model was trained and tested to solve two-class problems as active or inactive on the basi...

Activators regenerated by electron transfer (ARGET) atom radical polymerization (ATRP)-based aqueous miniemulsion where the takes place in stabilized monomer droplets is described. In this work, we compared styrene, n-butyl methacrylate (nBMA) and tert-butyl (tBMA) investigated influence of their hydrophobicity on dispersity, molecular weight particle stability based partition coefficients (log...

The work covers synthesis and lipophilicity estimation of several BODIPY dyes. For these compounds, the distribution between 1-octanol water layers is experimentally described corresponding partition coefficients LogP are calculated. experimental values compared with popular fragment-based methods XLopP3, ALogPS, WLogP, SILICOS-IT MLogP. Additionally, hydrophobic polar surface areas found quant...

BACKGROUND Terminology in Speech-Language and Hearing Science. AIM To propose a specific thesaurus about the Speech-Language and Hearing Science, for the English, Portuguese and Spanish languages, based on the existing keywords available on the Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS). METHOD Methodology was based on the pilot study developed by Campanatti-Ostiz and Andrade; that had as a purpose...

UNLABELLED Hub proteins (those engaged in most physical interactions in a protein interaction network (PIN) have recently gained much research interest due to their essential role in mediating cellular processes and their potential therapeutic value. It is straightforward to identify hubs if the underlying PIN is experimentally determined; however, theoretical hub prediction remains a very chal...

We present the discovery observations for the optical counterpart of the γ-ray burster GRB 970508 and discuss its light curve in the context of the fireball model. We analyze the HST data for this object, and conclude that any underlying galaxy must be fainter than R = 25.5. We also present a detailed analysis of the HST images of GRB 970228 claimed to show a proper motion of the optical counte...
