Well-conducted randomizedclinical trials (RCTs) are thegold standard for evaluating the safety and efficacy of medical therapeutics. Yet most often, a single group of individuals who conducted the trial are the only ones who have access to the raw data, conduct the analysis, and publish the study results. This limited access does not typically allow others to replicate the trial findings. Given...

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the conjunctival bacterial flora and its antibiotic susceptibility pattern in eyes of patients undergoing cataract surgery. Methodology: Conjunctival soap was obtained on the day of surgery before the application of topical anesthetic, antibiotic or povidone-iodine. Culture and antibiotic susceptibility tests were performed. The data was ana...

A large possibly Sasanian archaeological site, knowns as Cāhārbāzār, was identified 11 km east of Farāsband, in the Bani-Qatār plain Bacun. Thanks to an approach combining field survey with analysis remote sensing aerial photo and satellite imagery, further study had been carried out adding a piece our knowledge on archaeology Fars. Previously this site believed be caravanserai kusk, but ground...

State-of-the-art distributed RDF systems partition data across multiple computer nodes (workers). Some systems perform cheap hash partitioning, which may result in expensive query evaluation, while others apply heuristics aiming at minimizing inter-node communication during query evaluation. This requires an expensive data pre-processing phase, leading to high startup costs for very large RDF k...
