Background: Postmortem redistribution (PMR) refers to the changes that may occur in drug concentrations after death. Consequently, postmortem concentrations in blood may not always replicate the antemortem drug levels. Literature supports the model describing drugs with a liver (L) concentration to peripheral blood (P) concentration ratio less than 5 (L/kg) being prone to little or no PMR. Conv...

Income redistribution in Germany is the result of combination of several redistribution instruments: There is a complex income tax law, different obligatory social insurances and supplementary benefits.

Distributed-memory implementations of several scientific applications require array redistribution. Array redistribution is used in languages such as High Performance Fortran to dynamically change the distribution of arrays across processors. Performing array redistribution incurs two overheads an indexing overhead for determining the set of processors to communicate with and the array elements...
