The photochemistry and thermodynamics of two terthiophene (TTh) derivatives bearing benzospiropyran (BSP) moieties, 1-(3,3″-dimethylindoline-6'-nitrobenzospiropyranyl)-2-ethyl 4,4″-didecyloxy-2,2':5',2″-terthiophene-3'-acetate (BSP-2) and 1-(3,3″-dimethylindoline-6'-nitrobenzospiropyranyl)-2-ethyl 4,4″-didecyloxy-2,2':5',2″-terthiophene-3'-carboxylate (BSP-3), differing only by a single methyle...

The bulk-synchronous parallel (BSP) model provides a framework for writing parallel programs with predictable performance. In this paper we extend the BSP model to support what we will call pseudo-streaming algorithms for accelerators. We also generalize the BSP cost function to these algorithms, so that it is possible to predict the running time for programs targeting many-core accelerators an...

The interconnection of Solar PV to the Tarkwa Bulk Supply Point (BSP) has become necessary in order provide additional capacity meet ever-increasing demand and its environs during day. Plant will support BSP In this study, a grid impact analysis for integration plant at three points common coupling (PCC) Point’s 33 kV network Electricity Company Ghana was carried out. PCCs were BSP, Australia G...

One of the major challenges of the current research in the eld of parallel computing is the development of a realistic underlying framework for the design and programming of general purpose parallel computers. The bulk-synchronous parallel (BSP) model is largely viewed as the most suitable candidate for this role, as it ooers support for both the design of scalable parallel architectures and th...

Tendons/ligaments insert into bone via a transitional structure, the enthesis, which is susceptible to injury and difficult to repair. Fibrocartilaginous entheses contain fibrocartilage in their transitional zone, part of which is mineralized. Mineral-associated proteins within this zone have not been adequately characterized. Members of the Small Integrin Binding Ligand N-linked Glycoprotein (...

The mechanism of cholestasis (decreased bile flow) induced by taurolithocholate in the isolated perfused hamster liver was investigated. Taurocholate was infused to maintain bile acid output, and sulfobromophthalein (BSP) was administered to establish a BSP transport maximum in bile. The effects of taurolithocholate on bile flow and on the biliary secretion of BSP and bile acid anions were dete...

We present a new randomized sorting algorithm on the Bulk-Synchronous Parallel (BSP) model. The algorithm improves upon the parallel slack of previous algorithms to achieve optimality. Tighter probabilistic bounds are also established. It uses sample sorting and utilizes recently introduced search algorithms for a class of data structures on the BSP model. Moreover, our methods are within a 1 +...

Binary Space Partition (BSP) tree and Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) tree representations are both set-theoretic binary tree representations of solid objects used in solid modeling and computer graphics. Recently, an extension of the traditional BSP tree definition has been presented, in which surfaces used in the binary partition include curved surfaces in addition to planar surfaces. We ex...

In this paper we investigate the practical viability of PRAM programming within the BSP framework. We argue that there is a necessity for PRAM computations in situations where the problem exhibits poor data locality. We introduce a C++ PRAM simulator that is built on top of the Oxford BSP Toolset, BSPlib, and provide a succinct PRAM language. Our approach achieves simplicity of programming over...
