In this paper the equivalence between various divisible load-scheduling policies and continuous time Markov chains is demonstrated. This provides a basic unification of both data parallel divisible load scheduling and Markov chain models for the first time in 16 years of research. Such equivalence is demonstrated for divisible scheduling on linear daisy chains and single and two level tree netw...

The natural pyrethrins from the daisy-like flower, Tanacetum or Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium, are nonpersistent insecticides of low toxicity to mammals. Synthetic analogs or pyrethroids, evolved from the natural compounds by successive isosteric modifications, are more potent and stable and are the newest important class of crop protection chemicals. They retain many of the favorable propertie...

A monofunctionalised pillar[5]arene derivative carrying a viologen side chain which exhibits self-complexation in dilute dichloromethane solutions forms supramolecular daisy chain polymers and eventually organogels as its concentration is increased three-fold over the range from 0.1 to 100 mM.

A better understanding of genetic interactions in cancer might help identify new therapeutic approaches that exploit the concept of synthetic lethality. Ruppin and colleagues have developed a new computational method, DAISY, that predicts such interactions and potentially facilitates the delineation and validation of comprehensive genetic interaction networks.

A postal questionnaire was used to assess patient compliance with instructions, post-operative sequelae and general practitioner workload resulting from the day case unit of Daisy Hill Hospital, Newry. Compliance with instructions was good. There was little post-operative pain but there was a high incidence of other side effects. Few patients needed to see their general practitioner in the week...
