The interconnection network represents an interconnected structure of processors that strongly determines the performance quality a parallel processing system. shuffle-exchange permutation (SEP) with three degrees has high fault tolerance and can be efficiently simulated through star, bubble-sort, pancake graphs. This study proposes new network: SEP (NSEP), which improves diameter reduces cost ...

BACKGROUND The inferior vena cava (IVC) parameters, including its diameter and collapsibility index have been evaluated for fluid status for over 30 years, but little is known about the impacts of patient characteristics on IVC parameters. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships between individual patient characteristics and IVC parameters in healthy Chinese adult volunteers....

PURPOSE To evaluate the relationship between the horizontal ciliary sulcus diameter and anterior chamber diameter measured by 35 MHz ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and the horizontal corneal diameter (white to white [WTW]) measured by scanning-slit topography and to assess the repeatability (intraexaminer difference) of the 2 methods. SETTING Department of Orthoptics and Visual Science, Kitas...

There is a general tendency towards atherosclerosis and arterial dilatation in older age, and high blood pressure also tends to increase arterial diameters. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of hypertension and other cardiovascular risk factors on aortic, common iliac and common femoral artery diameters. The diameters of the abdominal aorta and the iliac and femoral arteries a...

this study was conducted to determine drought tolerance genotypes with superiority in different stressed environments. to screening quantitative indices of drought tolerance, genotypes of safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) were tested in a complete randomized block design with three replications under two different water regimes (irrigated and rainfed). significant positive correlation was fou...

cd40 is recognized as a member of tumor necrosis factor receptor super family. it is expressed by the immune and non-immune cells. its interaction with cd40 ligand (cd154) brings about  a regulatory effect on  the cellular and humoral immunity. the pathway of cd40-cd154 is influential in various diseases. investigations on such diseases have revealed dimensional mechanisms whereby this route in...

hazelnut is grown in limited areas of iran with high rainfall and high relative humidity. new cultivars and rootstocks that are tolerant of drought and low humidity are needed to expand hazelnut cultivation. to this end, seeds of 14 local corylus avellana l. genotypes (a1, a2, gerche, gerde eshkevarat, gerde shok, mahalli karaj, nakhon rood, navan1, navan7, navan9, navan10, pashmineh, shirvani ...

abstract application of salicylic acid (sa) as a phytohormone has been increased due to its role in plant tolerance to environmental stresses such as drought. the main goal of this experiment was to evaluate the effects of sa on morphological and physiological characteristics of cucumber seedlings under drought stress. a factorial experiment based on completely randomized block design was condu...
