This paper introduces and describes a new extension to Petri-Nets that provide additional mechanisms for the modeling of dynamic, distributed and concurrent behavior. The extensions provide for the creation and destruction of conventional Petri-Net Places and Transitions providing dynamic behavior of Petri-Net operation. We call this new Petri-Net model Dynamic Petri-Nets (DPN). With this new m...

The .Net development platform and the C# language, in particular, offer many benefits to programmers including increased productivity, security, reliability and robustness, as well as standards-based application portability and cross-language inter-operation. The Message Passing Interface (MPI) is a standardised high performance computing paradigm with efficient, frequently-used implementations...

Patients who receive desmopressin acetate (dDAVP) after cardiopulmonary bypass bleed less during operation and in the first 24 hours after operation than do patients who receive a placebo. To study the mechanism of improved hemostasis in bypass patients, we examined the relationship between von Willebrand factor (vWF) and blood loss in 70 cardiopulmonary bypass patients, one-half of whom receiv...

distinguishing productive zones of a drilled oil well plays a very important role for petroleum engineers to decide where to perforate to produce oil. conventionally, net pay zones are determined by applying a set of cut-offs on perophysical logs. as a result, the conventional method finds productive intervals crisply. in this investigation, a net index value is proposed, then; diffusivity equa...
