Distributed simulation cloning technology is designed to perform “what-if” analysis of existing High Level Architecture (HLA) based distributed simulations. The technology aims to enable the examination of alternative scenarios concurrently within the same simulation execution session. State saving and recovery are necessary for cloning a federate at runtime. However it is very difficult to hav...

The High Level Architecture (HLA) is a new standard technical architecture for distributed simulation to facilitate interoperability and reuse of simulation systems. The HLA provides a common simulation framework in which a set of basic simulation services is available to developers using an object-oriented approach. The underlying Run Time Infrastructure (RTI) provides a communications framewo...

We compared a real time-nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (RTi-NASBA) with conventional NASBA, galactomannan enzyme immunosorbent assay (GMEIA), and Mycology Study Group of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC/MSG) criteria for the diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis (IA). From May 2004 to May 2005, blood samples (314 in total) were collected twice a wee...

The objective of this study was to determine whether an indenopyridine derivative RTI-4587-073(l) was a good candidate for male contraception in horses. We hypothesized that a single administration of RTI-4587-073(l) causes significant suppression of testicular function in stallions without affecting sexual behavior. Three Miniature horse stallions received a single dose of 12.5 mg/kg RTI-4587-...

Responsiveness to intervention (RTI) is being proposed as an alternative model for making decisions about the presence or absence of specific learning disability. I argue that there are many questions about RTI that remain unanswered, and radical changes in proposed regulations are not warranted at this time. Many fundamental issues related to RTI are unresolved, and a better strategy may be to...

This work numerically investigates the role of viscosity and resistivity on Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities in magnetized high-energy-density (HED) plasmas for a high Atwood number plasma beta regimes surveying across magnetic Prandtl numbers. The numerical simulations are performed using visco-resistive magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations. Results presented here show that inclusion self-consiste...

Introduction RTI Biologics, Inc. (RTI) currently produces allograft demineralized bone matrix (DBM) paste products that are manufactured under strict aseptic conditions using single donors. All donors are subjected to rigorous screening, prior to processing, to ensure that no transmissible pathogens are present in donor material. In addition, a terminal sterilization procedure has been introduc...

Conditionally automated driving is expected to become available the public in near future. However, driver take over control from system when a sudden failure occurs or automation approaching its operational design domain (ODD) exit. The time budget for drivers different: (1) situation, needs be deactivated immediately with issuing request intervene (RTI); (2) ODD exit could keep active while a...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the current sexual and reproductive health (SRH) status including SRH-related knowledge and associated factors, self-reported symptoms of reproductive tract infection (RTI), medical assistance seeking behavior, sexual experience and contraceptive use, reproductive information approach and reproductive service utilization among female migr...

Road traffic injury (RTI) is the leading cause of death in persons aged 10-24 worldwide and accounts for about 15% of all male deaths. The burden of RTI is unevenly distributed amongst countries with over eighty-fold differences between the highest and lowest death rates. Thus the unequal risk of RTI occurring in the developing world, due to many reasons, including but not limited to rapid moto...
