When FGPAs are better at floating-point than microprocessors

It has been shown that FPGAs could outperform high-end microprocessors on floating-point computations thanks to massive parallelism. However, most previous studies reimplement in the FPGA the operators present in a processor. This is a safe and relatively straightforward approach, but it doesn’t exploit the greater flexibility of the FPGA. This article is a survey of the many ways in which the ...

Can We Apply the Control Material from Standard Clinical Chemistry Analyzer for Usage in the Point of Care Testing Analyzer?

Exact Results at the 2 - D Percolation Point

We derive exact expressions for the excess number of clusters b and the excess cumulants b n of a related quantity at the 2-D percolation point. High-accuracy computer simulations are in accord with our predictions. b is a finite-size correction to the Temperley-Lieb or Baxter-Temperley-Ashley formula for the number of clusters per site n c in the infinite system limit; the b n correct bulk cum...

On the fixed point of order 2

This paper  deals with a new type  of fixed point, i.e;"fixed point of order 2" which is introduced in a metric spaceand some results are achieved.

Total Knee Replacement Sizing: Shoe Size Is a Better Predictor for Implant Size than Body Height

Background: Various sizes of implants need to be available during surgery. The purpose of this paper is to comparebody height and shoe size with implant sizes in patients who underwent total knee replacement surgery to see whichbiomarker is a better predictor for preoperative planning to determine implant size.Methods: A total of 100 knees, belonging to 50 females and 50 males, were observed. P...
