  Introduction: In the current study, we evaluated the feasibility of body outlining using Tc-99m filled flood source for lymphoscintigraphy imaging. Methods: 80 patients were included in the study. Sentinel node mapping was done using Tc-99m Antimony sulfide colloid. For outlining the body a Tc-99m filled flood source was used which was placed behind or lateral to t...

Large functions that are frequently executed, i.e. hot, are common in non-numeric applications. These functions present challenges to modern compilers not only because they require more time and resources for compilation, but also because they might degrade runtime performance by preventing optimizations such as function inlining. Fortunately, often large portions of the code in hot functions a...

Few topics have generated more debate and contro­ versy in the scientific literature over the past few years than the biological and behavioural origins of an a to ­ mically ‘m odern’ hum an populations: i.e. populations belonging to our own form of Homo sapiens sapiens. W hat is common ground in all these debates is that populations that were fundam entally ‘m odern’ in both a basic anatom ica...

In this dissertation we investigate compiler techniques to address the performance problems caused by heterogeneous execution frequency of code in the same function and heterogeneous access pattern of fields in the same data structure. These heterogeneous characteristics are bad for performance. On one hand, it is frequent that instructions in the same function have very different execution fre...
