OBJECTIVE To identify putative genetic loci related to the risk of late-onset Alzheimer disease (LOAD). DESIGN Linkage analysis and family-based and case-control association analyses from a genomewide scan using approximately 6000 single-nucleotide polymorphic markers at an average intermarker distance of 0.65 cM. SETTING The National Institute on Aging Genetics Initiative for Late-Onset Al...

Abstract— Most of the load balancing works in Cloud computing is carried out under homogenous resources. But today’s requirement has been diversified with the ever increasing heterogeneity of resources in the cloud resources. Our endeavour in this paper is to study the effect of Round robin technique with dynamic approach by varying the vital parameters of host bandwidth, cloudlet long length, ...

We introduce a strict version of the concept of a load/store instruction set architecture in the setting of Maurer machines. We take the view that transformations on the states of a Maurer machine are achieved by applying threads as considered in thread algebra to the Maurer machine. We study how the transformations on the states of the main memory of a strict load/store instruction set archite...

Yield management has been successfully applied in the context of airline companies. However, so far, application to telecommunication industry have been scarce. Using Yield management principles, this paper investigates the new problem of maximizing revenue of telecommunications operator by setting prices on voice services. This pricing is based on available resource i.e. network load. We first...

There is great difficulty in controlling the setting load of large-size slip casing hanger Northwest Oilfield China, and a reasonable significance. This paper studied relationship between bite depth suspension ? 273 mm WE-type China through experiment, theoretical computation, finite element analysis. The accuracy model was proved by comparing simulation results with experimental marks on surfa...

Objectives: Facilitate risk assessment of vital complications in fetuses of pregnancies affected by acute parvovirus B19 infection. Design: Study of the natural course of maternal parvovirus B19 infection in four cases, from early pregnancy on. Setting: University medical center in the Netherlands. Population: Pregnant mothers attending obstetric services. Methods: Serial measurements of the ma...

This paper presents a simulation model of multi-load AGV system with artificial intelligence controller that is dedicated to be used in work transport control. The single AVG system with multi-load mean of transport is obtained assuming that the carrier capacity is big-enough to carry many lots at the single route. This model consists of a fuzzy logic and a genetic algorithms technics that mini...

Viral quantification or viral load testing has become part of the routine management of patients infected with HIV-1 or hepatitis C virus (HCV). There are currently several molecular technologies that are available for use in the clinical laboratory setting. Of these, only the branched DNA (bDNA) assays are FDA-approved for HIV-1 and HCV viral load testing. This signal amplification technology ...

As a result of rapid urban economic development and improvement in living standards, urban residential electricity consumption in China is increasing quickly. Although the factors which influence the urban residential load are complex, an objective analysis followed by the setting up of a logical urban residential load forecast model can offer a scientific basis for decisions regarding urban po...

The present investigation sought to comparatively explore the effect of length of residence (LOR) as well as EFL instruction on the pragmatic competence of Iranian learners. The participants were 45 EFL learners in Iran and 45 learners in Canada selected based on snowball sampling and each group was divided into three sub-groups based on the years of learning English in an EFL or a natural sett...
