In this report the use of a Grid-enabled system for performance monitoring of GRID superscalar-compliant applications is addressed. Performance monitoring is built on top of the OCM-G monitoring system developed in the EU IST CrossGrid project. A graphical user tool G-PM is used to interpret information received from the monitoring system. We discuss the issues related to the performance analys...

Two different types of orthogonality condition models (OCM) are equivalently formulated in the Faddeev formalism. One is the OCM which uses pairwise orthogonality conditions for the relative motion of clusters, and the other is the one which uses the orthogonalizing pseudo-potential method. By constructing a redundancy-free T -matrix, one can exactly eliminate the redundant components of the to...

Efficient Order-Channel Management, i.e. the process of information gathering, evaluation, decision and control regarding the setup of the overall trading infrastructure and the actual order routing implementation plays a crucial role for trading success as well as the competitiveness of Institutional Investors. This article introduces a framework intended to support Institutional Investors in ...

Biogas is a promising renewable energy source; however, it needs to be upgraded increase its low calorific value. In this study, oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) was selected convert higher fuel standard. Prior establishing the scaled-up OCM process, effect organic/inorganic binders on catalytic activity examined. The selection and composition catalyst pellet influenced pore structure, fract...

Ethylene production via oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) represents an interesting route for natural gas upscaling, being the focus intensive research worldwide. Here, OCM developments are analysed in terms kinetic mechanisms and respective applications chemical reactor models, discussing current challenges directions further developments. Furthermore, some thermodynamic aspects reactions al...

In this randomized, multicenter trial, we evaluated the effectiveness and side effect profile of a modified omeprazole-based triple therapy to cure Helicobacter pylori infection. The control group consisted of patients treated with standard dual therapy comprising omeprazole and amoxicillin. One hundred and fifty-seven H. pylori infected patients with duodenal ulcers were randomly assigned to r...

PURPOSE To develop an age-dependent mathematical model of the isolated ex-vivo human crystalline lens shape to serve as basis for use in computational modeling. METHODS Profiles of whole isolated human lenses (n=27) aged 6 to 82, were measured from shadow-photogrammetric images. Two methods were used to analyze the lenses. In the two curves method (TCM) the anterior and posterior surfaces of ...

The trajectory planning method with dynamics is the key to improving motion performance of manipulators. optimal control (OCM) a technology solve problems dynamics. There are direct and indirect methods in OCM; difficult apply engineering applications, so widely applied instead. collocation (DCM) OCM transform an problem (OCP) nonlinear (NLP), that plenty solvers can be used directly. However, ...

An abnormal columnar-lined esophagus (CLE) is characterized by the presence of cardiac mucosa (CM) oxynto-cardiac mucosa (OCM), and intestinal metaplastic epithelium (IM) between gastric oxyntic mucosa and esophageal squamous epithelium. Thirty-two patients with CLE measuring 2-16 cm long had 5-37 biopsies per patient that showed CM, OCM, or IM for a total of 424 biopsies. Detailed mapping of t...
