Asynchronous parallel pattern search (APPS) is a nonlinear optimization algorithm that dynamically initiates actions in response to events, rather than cycling through a fixed set of search directions, as is the case for synchronous pattern search. This gives us a versatile concurrent strategy that allows us to effectively balance the computational load across all available processors. However,...

In this paper, the river network is divided into sub-networks forming a hierarchy of drainage systems following the Horton order. Then, drainage systems are rearranged based on their pattern to obtain more homogeneous drainage systems which do not necessarily follow the Horton order. Such reorganization facilitates the description of the network system. Such organization can be useful for terra...

Text matching with errors is a regular task in computational biology. We present an extension of the bit-parallel Wu-Manber algorithm [16] to combine several searches for a pattern into a collection of fixed-length words. We further present an OpenCL parallelization of a redundant index on massively parallel multicore processors, within a framework of searching for similarities with seed-based ...

Gas drainage is an important technology to prevent coal and gas outburst, the drained a kind of clean energy. The pressure can characterize effectiveness. In this paper, we investigated effectiveness by pressure. Determined space shape flow field, state surrounding boreholes radial flow. According basic equations flow, discrete were achieved implicit difference scheme, then obtained boreholes. ...

BACKGROUND The exact lymphatic drainage pattern of the breast hasn't been explained clearly. The aim of this study was to investigate the sentinel lymphatic channels (SLCs) in the cancerous breast. Whether the type of SLCs influenced the detection rate and false-negative rate of SLNB was also assessed. METHODOLOGY AND PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Mimic SLNB was performed in 110 early-stage breast cance...

The study of the variations in the superficial veins of head and neck and their draining pattern is very important due to the complexity in their developmental pattern. A total of 32 cadavers of both sexes were used for the study and the head and neck region were dissected carefully and photographed in the department of anatomy, Vinayaka Mission Kirupananda Variyar Medical College & Hospital, S...

The formation of a stably perfused microvasculature continues to be a major challenge in tissue engineering. Previous work has suggested the importance of a sufficiently large transmural pressure in maintaining vascular stability and perfusion. Here we show that a system of empty channels that provides a drainage function analogous to that of lymphatic microvasculature in vivo can stabilize vas...
