List scheduling is the most frequently used scheduling technique. In this context worst case analysis as well as many experimental studies were performed for various computational models. However, many new models have been proposed during the last decade with the aim to provide a realistic but still simple and general model of parallel computation. LogP is one of the most popular models so far ...

Pentabenzensulfonate (QPBS), a potential prodrug for quercetin, was designed and synthesized in high yield. It possesses better physical properties such as solubility, lipid/water partition coefficient, LogP, and hydrolysis kinetics than its original form. The LogP value (2.04) and the half-life of the hydrolysis value (3.85 h) show that oral bioavailability is improved evidently compared with ...

We compared experimental and calculated logP values using a data set of 235 pesticides and experimental values from four different sources: The Pesticide Manual, Hansch Manual, ANPA and KowWin databases. LogP were calculated with four softwares: HyperChem, Pallas, KowWin and TOPKAT. Crossed comparison of the experimental and calculated values proved useful, especially for pesticides. These are ...

We present a new model of parallel computation|the LogGP model|and use it to analyze a number of algorithms, most notably, the single node scatter (one-to-all personalized broadcast). The LogGP model is an extension of the LogP model for parallel computation CKP + 93] which abstracts the communication of xed-sized short messages through the use of four parameters: the communication latency (L),...

When messages, which are to be sent point-to-point in a network, become available at irregular intervals, a decision must be made each time a new message becomes available as to whether it should be sent immediately or if it is better to wait for more messages and send them all together. Because of physical properties of the networks, a certain minimum amount of time must elapse in between the ...

The LogP model is a model of parallel computation that characterises a parallel computer system by four parameters: the latency L, the overhead o, the gap g and the number of processors P . We study the complexity of scheduling fork graphs in the LogP model. It will be proved that constructing minimum-length schedules for fork graphs in the LogP model is a strongly NP-hard optimisation problem....

The Fast Messages (FM) project is a highly optimized , low latency messaging layer providing a virtual interface to the communication hardware. The purpose of this paper is to present a detailed characterization of the FM communication messaging layer using the LogP model. We have used a series of communication microbenchmarks to measure the parameters of the LogP model. These specialized bench...

The study aimed to investigate the scientific literature on Public Humanization Policies, available in online periodicals, from 2009 to 2012, in the health field. This is an integrative literature review conducted in the Virtual Health Library databases: Latin-America and Caribbean Health Sciences (Lilacs) and the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and Portal Capes. Data were collect...
