In this paper, we present a novel twist on the Beowulf cluster — the Bladed Beowulf. Designed by RLX Technologies and integrated and configured at Los Alamos National Laboratory, our Bladed Beowulf consists of compute nodes made from commodity off-the-shelf parts mounted on motherboard blades measuring 14.7 00 4.7 0.58. Each motherboard blade (node) contains a 633-MHz Transmeta TM5600TMCPU, 256...

The purpose of this research is to predict stock returns and the purpose of the least squares regression and neural network approach is used. The potential financial ratios based on the historical cost and financial ratios based on Adjusted Cost predict stock returns are investigated. Independent variables and the dependent variable in this study and financial ratios and stock returns is for th...

BACKGROUND Bevacizumab is used extensively in the treatment of cancer, including advanced ovarian cancer, for which results of the International Collaborative Ovarian Neoplasm (ICON) 7 trial have been recently reported. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence's (NICE's) recent decision not to recommend bevacizumab for advanced ovarian cancer was not based on evidence related to th...

This paper presents a method to allocate the transmission network costs to users based on nodal pricing approach by regulating the nodal prices from the marginal point to the new point. Transmission nodal pricing based on marginal prices is not able to produce enough revenue to recover the total transmission network costs. However, according to the previous studies in this context, this met...

liberalization of energy price increases costs of agricultural inputs and costs of agricultural production. all these changes may affect the overall competitiveness of domestic products with similar foreign products. as a result of that, total cost of agricultural products are increased and profitability are decreased. in this paper, energy consumption for producing corn were calculated using c...

for useful discussions, comments, and suggestions. Of course, all remaining errors are our own. Abstract This paper proposes a new approach for modeling investor fear after rare disasters. The key element is to take into account that investors' information about fundamentals driving rare downward jumps in the dividend process is not perfect. Bayesian learning implies that beliefs about the like...

In the absense of free trade, domestic productivity will be a major determinant of prices. I consider an empirical framework where an industry’s R&D determines its productivity. Using repeated cross-sections of absolute prices of individual goods across European countries, I find that products of an industry tend to be cheaper in countries with higher stocks of R&D in that industry. I proceed t...
