BACKGROUND Inpatient aggression in treatment facilities for persons with intellectual disability (ID) can have aversive consequences, for co-clients and staff, but also for the aggressors themselves. To manage and eventually prevent inpatient aggressive incidents, more knowledge about their types and characteristics is necessary. METHOD In four facilities, totalling 150 beds, specialized in t...

This paper presents the implementation and performance evaluation of our proposed BGP-GCR+ routing architecture via simulation in ns-2. BGP-GCR+ consists of three components: (1) a two-level hierarchical, non-overlapped, one-node fault-tolerant routing algorithm for large-scale mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs), (2) an IPv6-based address stateless auto-configuration scheme, and (3) procedures at ...

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to explore the frequency of depression among the general population of adolescents who were high school students in the city of Zagreb. As depression is associated with increased suicidal risk we wanted to check to what extent depression, as an emotional problem among youth, is associated with auto-aggression in the general population of adolescents. SUBJEC...

rfid technology has great potential to improve the benefits of supply chain management. auto- manufacturing is a competitive industry that every player of it needs great operation efficiency to gain competitive advantage to survive. rfid systems are good enhancements to supply chain processes, therefore it's obvious that every industry has to pay great attention to this it solution, and in this...

Dense passage retrieval aims to retrieve the relevant passages of a query from large corpus based on dense representations (i.e., vectors) and passages. Recent studies have explored improving pre-trained language models boost performance. This paper proposes CoT-MAE (ConTextual Masked Auto-Encoder), simple yet effective generative pre-training method for retrieval. employs an asymmetric encoder...

BACKGROUND Bacillus subtilis is an all-important Gram-positive bacterium of valuable biotechnological utility that has been widely used to over-produce industrially and pharmaceutically relevant proteins. There are a variety of expression systems in terms of types of transcriptional patterns, among which the auto-inducible and growth-phase-dependent promoters are gaining increasing favor due to...

The power wall has become a dominant impeding factor in the realm of exascale system design. It is therefore important to understand how to most effectively create application software in order to minimize its power usage while maintaining satisfactory levels of performance. In this work, we use existing software and hardware facilities in order to tune applications to minimize for several comb...

background and objectives: auto-induction is usually employed to achieve high cell density and overproduction of proteins with a simple and low-cost operation. the efficiency of heterologous protein expression in escherichia coli is determined by different parameters. interactions between these parameters usually complicate the identification of those that contribute more to the improvement of ...

This paper presents a tool setup for comprehensive eventbased performance analysis of large-scale openmp and hybrid openmp/ mpi applications. The kojak framework is used for portable code instrumentation and automatic analysis while the new VampirNG infrastructure serves as generic visualization engine for both openmp and mpi performance properties. The tools share the same data base which enab...
