Selecting an appropriate workgroup size is critical for the performance of OpenCL kernels, and requires knowledge of the underlying hardware, the data being operated on, and the implementation of the kernel. This makes portable performance of OpenCL programs a challenging goal, since simple heuristics and statically chosen values fail to exploit the available performance. To address this, we pr...

Because in the theory of economics, the value of a company is based on the current value of future cash flows and profit is used as a substitute for cash flows, profit forecasting is of particular importance. In the research, the effect of rounding and revision in predicting earnings per share on the investors' attention in Iran has been investigated. After designing the investors' attention as...

occupational road traffic crashes account for a large portion of killed and seriously injured road traffic victims. several organizations have introduced driver-training programs in order to determine a safety culture and improve the safety of employees and society, as well as to comply with insurance company requests to reduce risks. the aim of these programs is to identify and promote desirab...

Observations of multiple-image gravitational lens systems suggest that the projected mass distributions of galaxy haloes may contain substantial inhomogeneities. The fraction of the halo mass in dense substructure is still highly uncertain, but could be as large as a few percent. While halo substructure is seen in numerical simulations of CDM haloes, little of this substructure survives in the ...

Neonatal encephalopathy (NE) is a leading cause of neonatal mortality and lifetime neurological disability. The earlier the risk of NE can be assessed, the more effective interventions can be in preventing adverse outcomes. Existing studies that focus on intrapartum risk factors do not provide the early prognostic forecasting necessary to prepare healthcare professionals to intervene early in a...

As far as we know, there is no single case recorded where vegetative multiplication, by a body having dense cellular structure, was observed in any algae belonging to Florideae. Schrnitz and Hauptfleiscli tell us in Fngler and Prantl's Die nattirlichen Pflanzenfamilien"2~ that vegetative multiplication is not known almost entirely in Rlaodophyceae. It is known, in Ban giaceae, some cells remain...

The leucine zipper is a dimerization domain occurring mostly in regulatory and thus in many oncogenic proteins. The leucine repeat in the sequence has been traditionally used for identification, however with poor reliability. The coiled coil structure of a leucine zipper is required for dimerization and can be predicted with reasonable accuracy by existing algorithms. We exploit this fact for i...

1. One of the major challenges in invasion biology is to predict the likelihood of naturalization, and ultimately invasiveness, of species from properties that can be assessed in the native range prior to a species’ introduction elsewhere. This is particularly relevant as intentional introduction for horticultural usage has been predicted to be the over-riding factor associated with naturalizat...

In this article, the predictive strength of the Junior Secondary Certificate (JSC) examinations in predicting the performance of students in the Senior Secondary Certificate (SSC) examinations in Ondo State, Nigeria was examined. The study explored a correlation design. The study population comprised all the 257 secondary schools in the State. Out of this population, a sample of 206 schools was...

Predicting entailment between two given texts is an important task upon which the performance of numerous NLP tasks depend on such as question answering, text summarization, and information extraction. The degree to which two texts are similar has been used extensively as a key feature in much previous work in predicting entailment. However, using similarity scores directly, without proper tran...
