This paper presents cache-partitioned tiling, a systematic and integrated approach for global optimization of cache locality across multiple loop nests which reference multiple arrays. The approach is based on the idea of cache partitioning, in which the cache capacity is divided into a number of equal-sized sections. A data layout in memory is derived to eliminate cache connicts by ensuring th...

In this paper, we show that the edge set of a cubic graph can always be partitioned into 10 subsets, each of which induces a matching in the graph. This result is a special case of a general conjecture made by Erdos and NeSetiil: For each d 2 3, the edge set of a graph of maximum degree d can always be partitioned into [5d2/4] subsets each of which induces a matching.

Due to the explosive growth of data in every aspect of our life, data mining algorithms often suffer from scalability issues. One effective way to tackle this problem is to employ sampling techniques. This paper introduces, ML-DS, a novel deterministic sampling algorithm for mining association rules in large datasets. Unlike most algorithms in the literature that use randomness in sampling, our...

The thermogravimetric study of the sunflower husk pellets combustion was carried out at three heating rates: 5, 10, and 20 °C/min to increase efficiency agricultural waste disposal methods. process can be divided into several stages: stage moisture evaporation release light fractions volatile substances, main volatiles combustion, as well carbonaceous residue after-burning. maximum mass loss ob...

A completely randomized design, with 3×3 factorial arrangement, was conducted to test various ratios of dietary protein to energy (P/E) for rainbow trout, reared in brackish water. Three crude protein levels (35, 40 and 45%) and three energy levels (370, 400 and 430 Kcal/100g) at each protein level were utilized. Semi-purified diet containing fish meal, casein and gelatin as the sources of prot...

BACKGROUND Acute appendicitis is the most common surgical abdominal disease in the emergency room. Although the diagnosis is clinical the complementary tests may be useful in doubt. AIM To evaluate the main laboratory tests in patients with acute appendicitis, as well as its relationship with the evolutionary stage of the disease. METHODS Prospective evaluation of patients with acute append...

Dipeptide and tripeptide derivatives containing a statine residue were synthesized as inhibitors of human renin. ES-305, bis[(1-naphthyl)methyl]acetyl(BNMA)-histidyl-statine 2(S)-methylbutylamide was found to be a highly potent inhibitor of human renin with a Ki value of 1.7 X 10(-9) M. Dipeptide derivatives with the BNMA group at the N-terminal (BNMA-Val-Sta-isoleucinol [ES-313], BNMA-Leu-Sta-...

Melanocortin- 4 receptor (MC4R) and agouti- related peptide (AgRP) are involved in energy homeostasis in rats. According to MC4R and AgRP effects on luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion, they may influence the estrous cycle of rats. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the expression of MC4R and AgRP mRNAs at different stages of estrous cycle in the rat’s hypothalamus. The estrous ...
