One widely held popular theory singles out homogenization as a cause of the current epidemic of heart disease. The hypothesis was developed by Kurt A. Oster, MD and studied from the early 1960s until the mid 1980s. In studying and comparing the structure and biochemistry of healthy and diseased arterial tissue, Oster investigated plasmalogen, an essential fatty component of many cell membranes ...

Synchronous fine-grained distribution is an important aspect of an interesting range of applications. Most conventional platforms for supporting computations of this type constrain their performance because of the lack of scheduling integration and coarse timing granularity imposed by the underlying operating system. This paper discusses the use of a real-time and embedded system approach to im...
