We document a parallel non-recursive beam search GPGPU FCA CbO like algorithm written in nVidia CUDA C and test it on software module dependency graphs. Despite removing repeated calculations and optimising data structures and kernels, we do not yet see major speed ups. Instead GeForce 295 GTX and Tesla C2050 report 141 072 concepts (maximal rectangles, clusters) in about one second. Future imp...

The application of crop residue has become increasingly important for providing a barrier against water and wind erosion and improving soil organic matter content, infiltration, evaporation, temperature, and soil structure. The objectives of this work were to: (i) estimate maize residue cover (MRC) from Landsat-8 OLI images using seven vegetation indices (VIs) and eight textural features; and (...

(b) Simulate the model (1) to produce T = 100 measurements y1:T . Based on these measurements compute the optimal (in the sense that it minimizes the mean square error) estimate of xt | y1:t for t = 1, . . . , T . Implement a bootstrap particle filter and compare to the optimal estimates. You can for example perform this comparison by plotting the root mean square estimate (RMSE) ε(N) as a func...

072 supplies are not that good. So, a specifically-tailored recommendation for extending the pregnancy for more 2 weeks (i.e. till 36 weeks of pregnancy) was advised. This latter recommendation was principally built on senior staff opinions. The goal of the current article was to retrospectively evaluate the neonatal and maternal outcomes of delivery prior to and beyond 34 weeks of pregnancy in...

Abstract Introduction Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) use has recently been a topic of debate amongst clinicians. The discussion most prevalent in the fields gynecology, urology, and endocrinology. Current research suggests HRT can prevent development lethal diseases such as myocardial infarction, osteoporosis, diabetes mellitus, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson’s genitourinary syndrome menopau...

The recently discovered new class of sdB pulsators (sdBV) offers a powerful possibility for the investigation of their interior and thus their evolutionary history. The first step towards applying asteroseismologic tools is the identification of pulsation modes. The best target for such an investigation is PG 1605+072 because of its outstanding properties among the sdBVs: it is the brightest ob...
