Recently, the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has increased among workers meat processing plants (MPPs) around world. This study reviewed possible routes severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission and useful actions against it in slaughterhouses. The results revealed that main factors for virus included low indoor temperature, crowded area, wrong standing along ...

We present a tool that allows to run an MPI application on several MPPs without having to change the application code. PACX (PArallel Computer eXtension) provides to the user a distributed MPI environment with most of the important functionality of standard MPI. It is therefore well suited for usage in metacomputing. We are going to show how two MPPs are conngured by PACX into a single virtual ...

In this paper we review network related performance issues for current Massively Parallel Processors (MPPs) in the context of some important basic operations in scientiic and engineering computation. The communication system is one of the most performance critical architectural components of MPPs. In particular, understanding the demand posed by collective communication is critical in architect...

INTRODUCTION The recent arrivals of fast networks, such as Myrinet, asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) coupled with powerful personal computers and workstations, has allowed for cost effective high-performance and high-availability clusters to be built from commodity parts. Additionally, the new cluster platform offers enough raw hardware performance to allow execution of applications such as par...

ÐPresently, massively parallel processors (MPPs) are available only in a few commercial models. A sequence of three ASCI Teraflops MPPs has appeared before the new millenium. This paper evaluates six MPP systems through STAP benchmark experiments. The STAP is a radar signal processing benchmark which exploits regularly structured SPMD data parallelism. We reveal the resource scaling effects on ...

Throughout the years, the performance of the FFRs has been the topic of extensive studies, resulting mainly in the characterization of aerosol penetration through filters using aerosols that are thought to be similar to those encountered in workplaces. There are limited number of studies in the literature reporting CE-marked respirator performance, and there is a need to perform a penetration e...

MicroRNA cluster mirn23a has previously been shown to promote myeloid development at the expense of lymphoid development in overexpression and knockout mouse models. This polarization is observed early in hematopoietic development, with an increase in common lymphoid progenitors (CLPs) and a decrease in all myeloid progenitor subsets in adult bone marrow. The pool size of multipotential progeni...

Background: Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a highly prevalent condition in which floor myofascial syndrome (MPPS) also frequently found. Optimal treatments for CPP and MPPS are unknown. The aims of this pilot study were to investigate the effect magnetic stimulation (MS) women with MPPS. Treatment effects compared between patients receiving MS alone, release therapy (MRT) + MRT. Methods: Patients...
