Load control is necessary to prevent a database system from data-contention or memory-contention thrashing, caused by excessive lock conflicts or excessive buffer replacements that may occur due to temporary load peaks. The load control method that is adopted by virtually all commercial database systems is to limit the degree of multiprogramming (DMP), that is, the maximum number of transaction...

PURPOSE The goal of this study was to evaluate the imaging features of diabetic mastopathy (DMP) and the role of image-guided biopsy in its diagnosis. METHODS Two experienced radiologists retrospectively reviewed the mammographic and sonographic images of 19 pathologically confirmed DMP patients. The techniques and results of the biopsies performed in each patient were also reviewed. RESULT...

A short term enteric methane emission measurement is not identical to a measure of daily methane production (DMP) made in a respiration chamber (RC). While RC curtail most variation except that from quantity and composition of feed supplied, all short-term measurements contain additional sources of variation. The points of difference can include measurement time(s) relative to feeding, feed int...

Associative plasticity is hypothesized to be an important neurophysiological correlate of memory formation and learning with potentials for applications in neurorehabilitation and for the development of new electrophysiological measures to study disorders of cortical plasticity. We hypothesized that the magnitude of the paired associative stimulation (PAS)-induced long-term potentiation (LTP)-l...

BACKGROUND The nationwide German disease management program (DMP) for type 2 diabetes was introduced in 2003. Meanwhile, results from evaluation studies were published, but possible baseline differences between DMP and usual-care patients have not been examined. The objective of our study was therefore to find out if patient characteristics as socio-demographic variables, cardiovascular risk pr...

Some of the latest developments in HIV treatment are described and contact information is given for people seeking further information on the topic. Clinical studies and preliminary results for interleukin-2 (IL-2), 1592U89 (abacavir), DMP-266 (efavirenz or Sustiva), and 141W94 (VX-94, Vertex) are described. Pharmaceutical companies are expected to continue developing new HIV drugs, including t...

Large capacity machine learning (ML) models are prone to membership inference attacks (MIAs), which aim infer whether the target sample is a member of model's training dataset. The serious privacy concerns due have motivated multiple defenses against MIAs, e.g., differential and adversarial regularization. Unfortunately, these produce ML with unacceptably low classification performances. Our wo...

In this paper we analyze the discrete maximum principle (DMP) for a nonstationary diffusion-reaction problem solved by means of prismatic finite elements and θmethod. We derive geometric conditions on the shape parameters of prismatic partitions and time-steps which guarantee validity of the DMP. The presented numerical tests illustrate the sharpness of the obtained conditions. MSC: 65M60, 65M2...

The complex [Cu(xantphos)(dmp)][PF6] (dmp = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) in a nanostructured metal oxyde matrix shows better sensitivity to oxygen (KSV = 9.74 ± 0.87 kPa(-1) between 0 and 1 kPa pO2 and 5.59 ± 0.15 kPa(-1) between 0 and 10 kPa pO2) than cyclometallated iridium complexes in the same conditions.
