DASH is a scalable shared memory multiprocessor architecture which employs directory based cache coherence. Due to the physical distribution of the memory in DASH, there is potential for long memory latency. Although a number of latency reducing and hiding techniques such caching, a weaker memory consistency model, and pre-fetching are employed by DASH, the use of Multithreaded processors is no...

The synthesis, structure, and reactivity of a thorium metallacyclopentadiene were comprehensively studied. The reduction of (η(5)-C5Me5)2ThCl2 () with potassium graphite (KC8) in the presence of diphenylacetylene (PhC[triple bond, length as m-dash]CPh) yields the first thorium metallacyclopentadiene complex (η(5)-C5Me5)2Th(η(2)-C4Ph4) (). Density functional theory (DFT) studies suggest that the...

BACKGROUND The disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) questionnaire is a self-administered region-specific outcome instrument developed as a measure of self-rated upper-extremity disability and symptoms. The DASH consists mainly of a 30-item disability/symptom scale, scored 0 (no disability) to 100. The main purpose of this study was to assess the longitudinal construct validity of t...

BACKGROUND Although the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet has been shown to lower blood pressure (BP) in short-term feeding studies, it has not been shown to lower BP among free-living individuals, nor has it been shown to alter cardiovascular biomarkers of risk. OBJECTIVE To compare the DASH diet alone or combined with a weight management program with usual diet controls am...

BACKGROUND The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet is recommended in the 2005 US Dietary Guidelines. To understand the potential benefits of DASH on coronary heart disease (CHD), we applied the Framingham risk equations to calculate 10-year risk of developing CHD using data from the DASH trial. METHODS AND RESULTS In the DASH trial, 459 individuals with prehypertension or stag...

The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet has been proven to effectively lower blood pressure(BP), and associate with a lower cardiovascular disease and stroke risk in mainly non-Asians. Further, it is unclear if adhering to the DASH target nutrients has similar BP impact as adhering to the recommended DASH food groups. Associations between adherence to DASH foods or nutrients and...

background loss of motion is a well-known complication after elbow trauma and in severe cases, arthrolysis of elbow is the procedure of choice. the posterior approach might have some advantages especially in post-traumatic patients who have undergone the same surgical approach in the past. objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate the short-term outcomes of elbow arthrolysis through post...

background and objectives: dietary approaches to stop hypertension (dash) eating pattern, a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and low-fat dairy with a reduced content of sodium, saturated fat, and total fat is introduced as an appropriate diet for hypertension. this eating pattern was basically designed to normalize blood pressure in patients with hypertension, and a large body of d...
