Diabetic retinopathy (DR), the most common long-term complication of diabetes mellitus, remains one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide. Tight glycemic and blood pressure control has been shown to significantly decrease the risk of development as well as the progression of retinopathy and represents the cornerstone of medical management of DR. The two most threatening complications of ...

in the past, one of the biggest problems requiring long and complicated computing was lack of appropriate software and hardware facilities in order to compute them in a proper and logical time. due to this issue, sometimes, computing lasted for several days, months or years. therefore, computer science pioneers tried to find a solution for this problem. one of the ways was to present grid compu...

Among the adaptive-grid methods, redistribution and embedding techniques have been the focus of more attention by researchers. Simultaneous or combined adaptive techniques have also been used. This paper describes a combination of adaptive-grid embedding and redistribution methods on semi-structured grids for two-dimensional invisid flows. Since the grid is semi-structured, it is possible to us...

in this paper high order multidimensional positive definite advection transport algorithm (mpdata) and compact finite difference methods are applied to one (1-d) and two-dimensional (2-d) advection equation. mpdata methods are designed based on upwind scheme using anti-diffusive velocity that compensates diffusivity of upwind method. in high order compact method one implicit relation between a ...

in this paper the design and implementation of fault tolerable architecture for scientific workflow engines is presented. the engines are assumed to be implemented as composite web services. current architectures for workflow engines do not make any considerations for substituting faulty web services with correct ones at run time. the difficulty is to rollback the execution state of the workflo...

data grids support access to widely distributed storage for large numbers of users accessing potentially many files. to enhance access time, replication at nearby sites may be used. data replication, a technique much investigated bydata grid researchers in past years creates multiple replicas offile and places them in conventional locations to shorten fileaccess times. one of the problems in da...
