* This work has been partially supported by the Spanish CICYT under grant TIC97-0897-C04-03 Abstract This paper presents an exhaustive performance analysis of the P-EDR algorithm in some parallel machines available nowadays. EDR algorithm is a recent result of our Research Group. It constitutes an extension of the well-known Parzen method, which can be applied when dealing with uncertainty. Man...

Molecular mechanics and dynamics are becoming widely used to perform simulations of molecular systems from large-scale computations of materials to the design and modeling of drug compounds. Many implementations of parallel molecular dynamics have been developed , but few groups have addressed issues related to the use of massively parallel machines with 100K to 1M processors for small to modes...

We propose a new method for low-rank approximation of Moore-Penrose pseudoinverses (MPPs) of large-scale matrices using tensor networks. The computed pseudoinverses can be useful for solving or preconditioning large-scale overdetermined or underdetermined systems of linear equations. The computation is performed efficiently and stably based on the modified alternating least squares (MALS) schem...

The capacity of the hematopoietic system to promptly respond to peripheral demands relies on adequate pools of progenitors able to transiently proliferate and differentiate in a regulated manner. However, little is known about factors that may restrain progenitor maturation to maintain their reservoirs. Conditional knockout mice for the Pbx1 proto-oncogene have a significant reduction in lineag...

Metacomputing infrastructures couple multiple clusters (or MPPs) via wide-area networks and thus allow parallel programs to run on geographically distributed resources. A major problem in programming such wide-area parallel applications is the difference in communication costs inside and between clusters. Latency and bandwidth of WANs often are orders of magnitude worse than those of local netw...

Autism is a human developmental brain disorder characterized by impaired social interaction and communication. Contactin-associated protein-like 2 (Caspr2, CNTNAP2) is a known genetic risk factor of autism. However, how this protein might contribute to pathology is unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that Caspr2 is abundantly present in lipid raft and in the synaptic membrane but is highly d...

Modern networks typically limit the size of the largest packet for efficient communication. Thus, long messages are packetized and transmitted. Such networks also provide network interface support for nodes, which typically includes a coprocessor and memory, to implement the lower layers of the communication protocol. This paper presents a concept of smart network interface support for packetiz...

The number of computed tomography examinations has continuously increased over the last decades and accounts for a major part of the collective radiation dose from medical investigations. For purposes of quality assurance in modern radiology a systematic monitoring and analysis of dose related data from radiological examinations is mandatory. Various ways of collecting dose data are available t...

The meat processing industry is one of the largest consumers of total freshwater used in the agricultural and livestock industry worldwide. Meat processing plants (MPPs) produce large amounts of slaughterhouse wastewater (SWW) because of the slaugh‐ tering process and cleaning of facilities. SWWs need significant treatment for a sustainable and safe discharge to the environment due to the high ...

In this paper, a model-based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique is presented for two-stage grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system, where the loci of points (MPPs) specified accurately based on new formulation. formulation, effect both irradiance and temperature taken into consideration, whereas estimated to reduce cost system enhance its reliability. Furthermore, constant generation...
