In this paper we introduce IPMACC, a framework for translating OpenACC applications to CUDA or OpenCL. IPMACC is composed of set of translators translating OpenACC for C applications to CUDA or OpenCL. The framework uses the system compiler (e.g. nvcc) for generating final accelerator’s binary. The framework can be used for extending the OpenACC API, executing OpenACC applications, or obtaining...

in this paper, an approximate method is proposed for determining sway of multistory rc buildings subjected to various types of lateral loads. the calculation of both fundamental period and stability index in rc building requires the sway term at each story level. using approximate method design engineers can estimate sway terms at each story level. the developed analytical expressions are inser...

The direct compression suitability of active pharmaceutical ingredients could be studied by SeDeM diagram method. Cefuroxime axetil (CfA) and paracetamol (PCM) were employed for SeDeM studies as these powders are well-characterized and known to be particularly difficult with respect to flowability and compactibility. Twelve different selected pharmacotechnical parameters were determined experim...

BACKGROUND Thus far, no algorithms have been developed to automatically extract patients who meet Asthma Predictive Index (API) criteria from the Electronic health records (EHR) yet. Our objective is to develop and validate a natural language processing (NLP) algorithm to identify patients that meet API criteria. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study nested in a birth cohort study in Olmste...

Circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is becoming an important clinical analyte for prenatal testing, cancer diagnosis and cancer monitoring. The extraction stage is critical in ensuring clinical sensitivity of analytical methods measuring minority nucleic acid fractions, such as foetal-derived sequences in predominantly maternal cfDNA. Consequently, quality controls are required for measurement of...

The progress of optical lithography has approached the sub-30 nm regime using 193nm excimer lasers as the exposure sources. To increase the numerical aperture (NA) further, many issues, especially those related to materials, need to be addressed. In this paper, we present the analytical and experimental results of oblique two-beam lithography with sapphire (Al2O3) as the optical material. At 19...

In this paper we have highlighted five existing approaches for introducing personalization in OLAP: preference constructors, dynamic personalization, visual OLAP, recommendations with user session analysis and recommendations with user profile analysis and have analyzed research papers within these directions. We have pointed out applicability of personalization to OLAP schema elements in these...

A sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) impurity profile method for the antibiotic ertapenem is developed and subsequently validated. The method utilizes an Inertsil phenyl column at ambient temperature, gradient elution with aqueous sodium phosphate buffer at pH 8, and acetonitrile as the mobile phase. The linearity, method precision, method ruggedness, limit of quantitation,...

We propose content-based methods for construction of recommendations for reports in the OLAP reporting tool. Recommendations are generated based on preference information in user profile, which is updated implicitly by collecting and analyzing user activity in the reporting tool. Taking advantage of data about user preferences for data warehouse schema elements, existing reports that potentiall...
