چکیده

Process communication graph (PCG) is the visual formalism used in a graph-based visual language (VL) for parallel programming. It combines control flow and data flow graphs into a single visual formalism, and supports different levels of abstraction at which parallel programs are expressed and moves to compositional programming. Empirical studies allow designers to put their designs to test in a direct and intentional interaction with users. For research projects this may be the only way to assess if their goals have been met. The case study presented here was conducted on programmers (students) solving parallel programming problems using the PCG formalism to construct parallel programs. The results of this evaluation indicate that users benefit from visual programming, even at the beginning of the learning curve. ( 2001 Academic Press

The immediate enzymatic cocktail effect on the absorptive function of neobladder made by ileocystoplasty

The effectiveness of an enzymatic cocktail, collagenase and trypsin, on the absorptive function of ilealsegment was studied to evaluate the changes within groups after performing ileocystoplasty in an animalmodel. Twenty-one female mixed-bred Persian dogs were randomized into 7 groups. The groups included: 1) negative control group (NCG) in which no ileocystoplasty was performed (n = 3); 2) pos...

Automatic classification of normal and abnormal cardiac sounds by combining features based on wavelet transform and capstral coefficients extracted from PCG signals (Research Article)

Cardiac sounds are produced by the mechanical activities of the heart and provide useful information about the function of the heart valves. Due to the transient and unstable nature of the heart's sound and the limitation of the human hearing system, it is difficult to categorize heart sound signals based on what is heard from a stethoscope. Therefore, providing an automated algorithm for prima...

Pathologies cardiac discrimination using the Fast Fourir Transform (FFT) The short time Fourier transforms (STFT) and the Wigner distribution (WD)

This paper is concerned with a synthesis study of the fast Fourier transform (FFT), the short time Fourier transform (STFT and the Wigner distribution (WD) in analysing the phonocardiogram signal (PCG) or heart cardiac sounds.     The FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) can provide a basic understanding of the frequency contents of the heart sounds. The STFT is obtained by calculating the Fourier tran...

Polycomb-group complex 1 acts as an E3 ubiquitin ligase for Geminin to sustain hematopoietic stem cell activity.

Polycomb-group (PcG) genes encode multimeric nuclear protein complexes, PcG complex 1 and 2. PcG complex 2 was proved to induce transcription repression and to further methylate histone H3 at lysine-27 (H3K27). Subsequently PcG complex 1 is recruited through recognition of methylated H3K27 and maintains the transcription silencing by mediating monoubiquitination of histone H2A at lysine-119. Ge...
