The NAS Kernel Benchmark Program is a collection of FORTRAN subroutines, or "kernels", which were chosen to be representative of the computational workload of the Numerical Aerodynamic Simulation (NAS) facility located at NASA Ames Research Center. Details of the kernels are provided in [1]. The kernels provide benchmark measures of double precision (64 bit) floating point computation rate and ...

La inteligencia socioemocional influye en el ajuste psicosocial y la prevención de problemáticas salud mental, siendo necesario promover su desarrollo etapas clave como adolescencia. El objetivo fue evaluar eficacia una intervención para incrementar estudiantes mexicanos bachillerato, a través un estudio cuasiexperimental diseño grupo con pre-test post-test. Participaron seiscientos cuarenta ci...

The first anniversary for older widows (n = 47) has been explored during Months 11, 12, and 13. Concurrent correlations show that optimism inversely correlates with psychological (intrusion and avoidance) stress as measured with the Impact of Event Scale (r = -.52 to -.66, p < .005) and positively correlates with well-being (physical: r = .36 to .46, p < .025; psychosocial: r = .58 to .72, p < ...

survival in patients with HCC in two independent cohorts, and the mechanism was associated with low VEGFR-1 expression levels in HCC. Grant support: This research was supported by grants from the National Scientific Council (NSC 100-2314-B-075-051, NSC 101-2321-B075-004) and Taipei Veterans General Hospital (V101B-005, V102E2005 and V102E2-006) to YF Hu, (NSC99-3112-B-010-005-CC1, NSC1002627-B-...

The average ionic strength of 20 West Australian soils was found to be 0·0048. The effects of three electrolytes (deionized water, CaCl2 and KN03), three ionic strengths (0'03. 0·005 and soil ionic strength at field capacity, Is) and two soil liquid ratios (1:5 and 1:10) on the pH of 15 soils were investigated. pH measurements in solutions of ionic strength 0·005 differed the least from measure...

The main risk factor in the study for general language problems was a family history of language problems, p< .001. However, being male, p= .004, and being shy, p= .001, were the main risk factors for specific delays in speech. The other important risk factors were health problems in early childhood, especially recurrent otitis, p= .012, having a mother with a low educational level, p= .003, an...

Recent studies suggest the potential of alpha-tocopherol as a gene regulator, possibly through peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) activation due to the structural similarity of alpha-tocopherol to a PPARgamma ligand, troglitazone. Other investigators have suggested that a link exists between induction of the antioxidant enzymes Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD) and cata...
