Abstract Background The aim of this study was to compare the performance new flow cytometer UF-5000 with UF-1000i and Gram staining for determining bacterial patterns in urine samples. Methods Women who attended our clinic symptoms suggestive urinary tract infection were enrolled study. Mid-stream samples collected gram staining, analysis cultures. Bacterial classified using (none, cocci bacter...

25 Modeling and simulation of a network interface handling two priority levels. We propose a scheme called Double Queue Scheme to reduce the eeects of local jobs' communication on the performance of parallel jobs. It divides the only one input and output queues in traditional network interfaces into two ones. One is for the communication of parallel jobs, and the other is for the communication ...

sensitivity analysis might be considered as one of inevitable steps in modelling since it would help to determine the behaviour of model, which was developed for further application. sensitivity analysis was not paid much attention in studies that have been conducted for modelling the relationship between stream water quality and land cover except machine learning techniques such as artificial ...

We introduce a newsgathering system that features high mobility and wide-area coverage: Mobile Broadcasting Video (MBV) system. According to the original design concept, this system’s transmission channels provide increased mobility and wide area coverage, utilizing wireless LAN and low-orbit satellite technology. Also this system provides audiovisual quality that is comparable to current digit...

Experimentation aimed at determining the potential benefit of mixed-mode SIMD/MIMD parallel architectures is reported. The experimentation is based on timing measurements made on the PASM system prototype at Purdue utilizing carefully coded synthetic variations of a well-known algorithm. The synthetic algorithms used to measure and evaluate this system were based on the bitonic sorting of seque...

A stratified bottom Ekman layer over a nonsloping, rough surface is studied using a three-dimensional unsteady large eddy simulation to examine the effects of an outer layer stratification on the boundary layer structure. When the flow field is initialized with a linear temperature profile, a three-layer structure develops with a mixed layer near the wall separated from a uniformly stratified o...

A 50-year coupled atmosphere-ocean model integration is used to study sea surface temperature (SST) and mixed layer depth (h), and the processes which influence them. The model consists of an atmospheric general circulation model coupled to an ocean mixed layer model in ice-free regions. The midlatitude SST variability is simulated fairly well, although the maximum variance is underestimated an...

Understanding the transport of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and nitrogen (N) as water flows through headwater basins is important for predicting downstream quality. With increased recognition climatic impact on nutrient transport, more studies are needed in experiencing a Mediterranean-type climate, such those Sierra Nevada, California. We analyzed samples collected over 5 years from eight lo...
