This technical report gives an introduction to Distributed Interactive Applications (DIA), including a brief background with some examples. An outline of the three classes of challenges that drive the design of DIA architectures the users, the physical restrictions, and the required capabilities is given. The manner in which the designer addresses these challenges, namely dynamic extensibility,...

We measured the effects of global ischemia and reperfusion on intracellular Na(+), NADH, cytosolic and mitochondrial (subscript mito) Ca(2+), relaxation, metabolism, contractility, and Ca(2+) sensitivity in the intact heart. Langendorff-prepared guinea pig hearts were crystalloid perfused, and the left ventricular (LV) pressure (LVP), first derivative of LVP (LV dP/dt), coronary flow, and O(2) ...

This work describes a simulation study of client-server architectures, and a UNIX-based le system with multimedia extensions. An interactive multime-dia workload is used to compare the throughput and scalability of the traditional and a new hybrid client-server architecture. Simulation results indicate that the hybrid client-server, combined with the multime-dia le system, is a promising distri...

This article reports on the diagnostic validity of the Dominic Interactive Assessment (DIA) in a sample of Spanish children exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV). The study participants included 55 children aged between 6 and 11 years whose mothers visited an IPV counselling centre. Psychopathology and functional impairment were used as the main criteria for assessing predictive and discri...

The primal-dual algorithm of parametric linear programming (e.g. {l]) can be extended in some sence to parametric quadratic programming problems as follows. § 1. Problem of the first type Let us consider the following quadratic programming problem PIA with a parameter A. where C is an n X n positive semi-definite matrix, A is an m X n matrix, p and x are n-vectors, and band d are m-vectors. We ...

Devo ter faltado à aula no dia em que ensinaram sobre morte na Faculdade de Medicina. Entretanto, mesmo que meus sábios mestres tivessem dedicado todas as aulas daquele dia frio de junho de 1985 a rebuscadas dissertações sobre o processo de morte,...

I defend against a certain line of attack the view that the conscious contents of color experiences are exhausted by, or at least matched by, the concepts brought to bear in experience by the perceiver. The line of attack is an allegedly empirical argument against conceptualism-the Diachronic Indistinguishability Argument (DIA)-based on color pairs the members of which are too similar to be dis...

during a faunistic study of the family carabidae in guilan province in summer 2011, beetle specimens were collected directly or by using pitfall traps and light traps. a species of ground beetles was identified and later confirmed by dr. r. felix (berkel enschot, the netherlands) as parophonus dia (reitter). this species is recorded from iran for the first time.

In This Issue In This Issue ROCK and Rho will never Dia irectional migration of a cell requires both lamellipodia formation at the leading edge and actomyosin contraction within the tail. New results from Tsuji et al. (page 819) indicate that Rho may mediate both tasks, and that these two arms of Rho signaling are antagonistic. Rho signaling is known to mediate the formation of stress fibers, s...

This paper describes a design methodology for the basic current source cell circuit of high-speed high-accuracy current steering DIA conveners taking into account mismatching in all the transistors of the cell. Previous works consider arbitrary safety margins in the sizing process. The presented approach allows a more accurale selection of the optimal design point. The design methodology is ill...
