This report proposes a new library on Fortress to deal with computation with complex dependency such as prefix sums, which cannot be efficiently dealt with by simple comprehensions or generator-reduction patterns. The library provides a set of generator-of-generators that abstract generation of nested data structures, for allowing users to write their programs in an easy and uniform way. The li...

A major challenge to achieving widespread use of software component technology in scientific computing is an effective migration strategy for existing, or legacy, source code. This paper describes initial work and challenges in automating the identification and generation of components using the ROSE compiler infrastructure and the Babel language interoperability tool. Babel enables calling int...

This paper presents the design, implementation and evaluation of a dataflow system, including a dataflow programming model and a dataflow engine, for coarse-grained distributed data intensive applications. The dataflow programming model provides users with a transparent interface for application programming and execution management in a parallel and distributed computing environment. The datafl...

The Republic of Korea has unique Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) Officers with its own EIS program in Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC). Some of the medical school graduate men are recruited for their mandatory military service as EIS officers on a voluntary basis. They serve two or three years in epidemiological investigation and return to their own specialties [1]. L...

BACKGROUND Priority dispatch accuracy is a key issue in optimizing the match between patients' medical needs and pre-hospital resources. This study measures the accuracy of a Criteria Based Dispatch (CBD) system, by evaluating discrepancies between dispatch priorities and ambulance crews' severity evaluations. METHODS This is a retrospective study conducted from January 2011 to December 2011....

We established the Creativity Everything lab at Ryerson University in 2018 as a place that would support and unlock ‘all kinds of creativity for all people’. In this article, we detail transdisciplinary roots our work, outline some activities thinking behind them. As team researchers developing projects experiences embrace wide range creators creative practices, are fashioning to facilitate act...

It is natural to ask: What are the exciting research problems that remain? Our goal here is to provide a partial answer by describing how the ideas in the main paper, Whitt (2013), have been extended, thus revealing the current state of the art. We briefly discuss six extensions: (i) more general arrival and service processes, (ii) the modified offered load approximation, (iii) a theoretical ex...

Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) and pituitary adenyl-ate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) belong to a family of regulatory peptides which are widely expressed in the body. Their widespread distribution is correlated with their involvement in a large variety of biological activities. Both peptides display a remarkable amino acid sequence homology. They exert their biological effect...
