199 human serum samples were examined for the presence of myxovirus parainfluenza 3 (mpi 3) haemagglutination inhibition (hi) antibodies. or tbe total male sera, 75% and female 70.52% had hi antibody titers of t:32 or greater. the percentage of positive samples increased according to the age grouping of the human beings. these results indicate that mpi 3 virus infection is widespread among the ...

ABSTRACT MPI collective operations provide a standardized interface for performing data movements within a group of processes. The e ciency of collective communication operations depends on the actual algorithm, its implementation, and the speci c communication problem (type of communication, message size, number of processes). Many MPI libraries provide numerous algorithms for speci c collecti...

background & aim : primary dysmenorrhea (pd) is the most common genital disease among adults which can disrupt daily activities and reduce quality of life. acupressure was recommended for relief of pd and the aim of this study was to compare the maximum pain intensity (mpi) and duration of pd after acupressure on third liver (liv3) and placebo points. methods & materials : students who were suf...

The Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard provides a powerful mechanism for describing non-contiguous memory locations: derived datatypes. In addition, MPI derived datatypes have a key role in the MPI-2 I/O operations. In principle, MPI derived datatypes allow a user to more efficiently communicate noncontiguous data (for example, strided data) because the MPI implementation can move the dat...

The MPI Standard does not make any performance guarantees, but users expect (and like) MPI implementations to deliver good performance. A common-sense expectation of performance is that an MPI function should perform no worse than a combination of other MPI functions that can implement the same functionality. In this paper, we formulate some performance requirements and conditions that good MPI...

Standard testing and debugging techniques are notoriously ineffective when applied to parallel programs, due to the numerous sources of nondeterminism arising from parallelism. MPI-Spin, an extension of the model checker Spin for verifying and debugging MPI-based parallel programs, overcomes many of the limitations associated with the standard techniques. By exploring all possible executions of...

A large number of MPI implementations are currently available, each of which emphasize different aspects of high-performance computing or are intended to solve a specific research problem. The result is a myriad of incompatible MPI implementations, all of which require separate installation, and the combination of which present significant logistical challenges for end users. Building upon prio...

background: we sought to assess right ventricular (rv) systolic and diastolic functions via tissue doppler imaging (tdi) in order to discriminate right-to-left (bidirectional) from left-to-right intracardiac shunts. methods: a tissue doppler velocity study via doppler echocardiography was performed in 20 patients with left-to-right shunt (without evidence of significant pulmonary hypertension) ...
