The recently proposed reactive processing architectures are characterized by instruction set architectures (ISAs) that directly support reactive control flow including concurrency and preemption. These architectures provide efficient execution platforms for reactive synchronous programs; however, they do require novel compiler technologies, notably with respect to the handling of concurrency. A...

Reactive scripts are designed to get a exible approach for responsive systems; they are based on the reactive/synchronous approach, well suited to real time programming. A reactive script interpretor is a broadcast event-driven interpretor which can react to several commands in parallel. Generating events and waiting for occurrence of events are the basic commands which are composed in several ...

A new feasibility analysis methodology generalized from distillation is applied to membrane process. The model is formulated to depict the reactive liquid phase composition on the retentate side of membrane reactors. The effects of both chemical reaction and membrane mass transfer kinetics on the feasible products are elucidated by means of retentate phase diagrams and bifurcation analysis. In ...

sepsis is a significant health problem with an estimated 750,000 new cases in the usa annually. it is also the third leading cause of death in developed countries, equaling the number of fatalities from acute myocardial infarction. the high sepsis-related mortalities mean there is an urgent need to improve the diagnosis and management of sepsis patients. the aim of this study was the evaluation...

methods in this study, 150 children diagnosed with liver disease and ascites upon admission to nemazee teaching hospital (shiraz, iran) were examined. patients were divided into spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and sterile ascetic fluid groups according to the pmn count ≥ 250/mm3 in the ascetic fluids. routine laboratory tests were conducted and quantitative c-reactive protein (crp) levels wer...

A new approach for solving reactive power planning problem is presented, which is based on dynamic programming and the use of a sensitivity approach to obtain candidate buses for allocation of reactive power devices in power systems. Once the set of candidate buses has been defined, the program gives the location and size of the reactive sources needed to satisfy operating and security constrai...
