Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) is known to be characterized by red patches or spots in a diffuse or linear array in the antrum of the stomach. The precise etiology of GAVE remains to be elucidated. Argon plasma laser coagulation (APC) has been used to control oozing from GAVE; however, there is no satisfactory long-term effect of APC in the control of oozing from GAVE. An acid reducer i...

Actual Quantifiability is a concept in MapReduce that is based on two assumptions: (1) every mapper is cautious, i. e. , does not exclude any reducer's key-value split pattern choice from consideration, and (2) every mapper respects the reducer's key-value split pattern preferences, i. e. , deems one reducer's key-value split pattern choice to be infinitely more likely than anoth...

Background Increased coronary sinus (CS) pressure can reduce myocardial ischemia by redistribution of blood from nonischemic to ischemic territories. The Coronary Sinus Reducer is a percutaneous implantable device designed to establish CS narrowing and to elevate CS pressure. In preclinical experiments, implantation of the Reducer was safe and was associated with improved ischemic parameters. I...

In the Map-Reduce programming model for data parallel computation in a cloud environment, the reducer phase is responsible for computing an output key-value pair, given a sequence of input values associated with a particular key. Because of non-determinism in transmitting key-value pairs over the network, the inputs may not arrive at a reducer in a fixed order. This gives rise to the reducer co...

OBJECTIVE The coronary sinus Reducer is a recently introduced device to treat patients with severe angina symptoms refractory to optimal medical therapy and not amenable for conventional revascularisation. We aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of the Reducer in a real-world cohort of patients with refractory angina. METHODS This is a single-centre retrospective registry. Patients with se...

OBJECTIVES This study sought to evaluate the safety of the Coronary Sinus Reducer (Neovasc Medical, Inc., Or Yehuda, Israel) as a potential alternate therapy for patients with refractory angina who are not candidates for conventional revascularization procedures. BACKGROUND Increased coronary sinus (CS) pressure can reduce myocardial ischemia by redistribution of blood from nonischemic to isc...

-MapReduce is a programming model, which can process the large set of data and produces the output. The MapReduce contains two functions to complete the work, those are Map function and Reduce function. The Map function will get assign fragmented data as input and then its emit intermediate data with key and send to this intermediate data with key to the Reducer, where Reducer will get the inpu...

Reducer hyperobjects (reducers) provide a linguistic abstraction for dynamic multithreading that allows different branches of a parallel program to maintain coordinated local views of the same nonlocal variable. In this paper, we investigate how thread-local memory mapping (TLMM) can be used to improve the performance of reducers. Existing concurrency platforms that support reducer hyperobjects...
