The Boston Area Community Health (BACH) Survey is a community-based, random sample, epidemiologic cohort of n = 5502 Boston (MA) residents. The baseline BACH Survey (2002-05) was designed to explore the mechanisms conferring increased health risks on minority populations with a particular focus on urologic signs/symptoms and type 2 diabetes. To this end, the cohort was designed to include adequ...

Knowledge of spatial chromosomal organizations is critical for the study of transcriptional regulation and other nuclear processes in the cell. Recently, chromosome conformation capture (3C) based technologies, such as Hi-C and TCC, have been developed to provide a genome-wide, three-dimensional (3D) view of chromatin organization. Appropriate methods for analyzing these data and fully characte...

Trace driven simulation is an important tool for computer systems performance analysis and prediction, but its accuracy decreases when incomplete or inaccurate traces are used for input. Nevertheless, many memory hierarchy simulation studies have been published which rely on such traces. In this paper we describe BACH, a hardware monitor developed to capture long, accurate, and complete traces ...

We show that solutions of the Bach equation exist which are not conformal Einstein spaces. In connection with fourth order gravitational field equations, cf. e.g. [1, 2] where the breaking of conformal invariance was discussed, the original Bach equation, Bij = 0 , (1) enjoys current interest. Eq. (1) stems from a Lagrangian L = 1 2 √ −gCijklC , and variation gives, cf. Bach [3], 1 √−g δL/δg ij...

Screening with low-dose helical computed tomography (CT) has been shown to significantly reduce lung cancer mortality but the optimal target population and time interval to subsequent screening are yet to be defined. We developed two models to stratify individual smokers according to risk of developing lung cancer. We first used the number of lung cancers detected at baseline screening CT in th...

Abstract − In this paper, we propose a scheduling method for synchronous communication between threads in the Bach hardware compiler. In this method, all communications are extracted from a behavioral Bach-C description and statically prescheduled to synchronize communications between threads if possible. Then all the operations and communications of each thread are synthesized independently ac...
