Optimizing programs by applying source-to-source transformations is a prevalent practice among programmers. Particularly so, in the framework of methodology based embedded systems design, where the initial program is subject to a series of transformations to optimize computation and communication. In the context of parallelization and custom memory design, such transformations are applied on th...

The rapidly growing studies in nuclear physics, developments of experimental methods and implementation of very sensitive and effective detectors have provided a very good possibility for development of a completely new direction in medical diagnostics and therapy of diseases, which is presently known as nuclear medicine. The exceptional ability of nuclear medicine methods is based on the possi...

oPAC 'Optimization of Particle Accelerators' is a European research and training network that has received funding within the EU’s 7 Framework Program. With a total budget of 6 M€ and 23 Fellows that are employed within the project, it is the largest Marie Curie network that was ever funded by the European Union. oPAC was started in 2011 and would usually come to an end at the end of 2015. The ...

We propose numerical and graphical methods for outlier detection in hierarchical Bayes modeling and analyses of repeated measures regression data from multiple subjects; data from a single subject are generically called a “curve.” The first-stage of our model has curve-specific regression coefficients with possibly autoregressive errors of a prespecified order. The first-stage regression vector...

Computer training program was developed to learn the students, studying plasma diagnostics methods, the principles of computer tomography and some algorithms of reconstruction of 3D plasma parameter distributions. The program allows to simulate some spatial distribution of plasma emission, to calculate projections of non-uniform plasma objects and to demonstrate visually the result of restorati...

Antimicrobial resistance is a worldwide threat and a problem with large clinical and economic impact. Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs are a solution to curb resistance development. A problem of resistance is a separation of actions and consequences, financial and clinical. Such a separation makes it difficult to create support among stakeholders leading to a lack of sense of responsibility. ...
