Because of the increasing complexity of the applications running in Kitten, a lightweight HPC OS targeted for compute nodes of massively-parallel, distributed-memory supercomputers, and the complex hardware that Kitten is running on, bugs are becoming more difficult to find. As a result, the need for Kitten to support user-level application debugging becomes more critical. Unfortunately, Kitten...

Abstract Bounded variable elimination is one of the most important preprocessing techniques in SAT solving. It benefits from discovering functional dependencies form definitions encoded CNF. While common approach pioneered SatELite relies on syntactic pattern matching, our new uses cores produced by an embedded solver, Kitten . In contrast to a similar semantic technique implemented Lingeling b...

Growth assays were conducted to estimate the minimal dietary requirement levels of histidine, tryptophan, phenylalanine and tyrosine for the young kitten. Dietary concentrations of histidine and tryptophan of .30 and .15%, respectively, were found to support optimal kitten performance. A preliminary study of the total aromatic amino acid (TAAA) requirement indicated that no more than 1.20% TAAA...

rectovaginal fistula with atresia ani is a congenital condition that affects the anal opening and rectum by the formation of an abnormal connection between the rectum and vagina. this was diagnosed in a domestic short hair kitten. the presenting physical abnormalities included depression, dehydration, partial tail agenesis, anal atresia and a discharge of watery feces from the vaginal opening. ...

A 5-month-old castrated male Sphynx kitten presented with left hindlimb lameness shortly after adoption. Prior to adoption, the breeder had fed the kitten an exclusively raw chicken diet. Radiographs revealed generalized osteopenia and a left tibia-fibula fracture. Ophthalmic examination revealed corneal vascularization and opacity in the right eye, and lesions suggestive of feline central reti...

A Golgi study of beta (brisk-X type) ganglion cells has been done to compare ganglion cells in the retina of 3-week-old and adult cats. An anatomical basis for the large receptive field centers found in the immature kitten retina was sought. Kitten beta-type ganglion cells have significantly smaller dendritic spreads than adult beta cells; the dendrites of the kitten cells must still grow to re...

This was diagnosed in a domestic short hair kitten.

Estimates of survival for the young of a species are critical for population models. These models can often be improved by determining the effects of management actions and population abundance on this demographic parameter. We used multiple sources of data collected during 1982-2008 and a live recapture-dead recovery modeling framework to estimate and model survival of Florida panther (Puma co...
