The multiple instruction streams, low synchronization cost and synchronous nature of the XIMD (variable instruction stream, multiple data stream) architecture create an opportunity for a new architecture-compiler interface. As an extension to the VLIW (Very Long Instruction Word) architecture, the XIMD can exploit all VLIW scheduling techniques but these do not take full advantage of the unique...

This paper is directed to the question of how to model and design an efficient tool for the intelligent mapping which is based on both dynamic and efficient storage of data and soft computing. The former is performed by our method that learns how to store, search and delete the data. After pointing out the limitation of the crisp evaluation of the distance between two points, we argue in favor ...

Advances in positioning, Web mapping, cellular communications and wiki technologies have outpaced the original visions of GSDI programs around the world. By tapping the distributed knowledge, personal time and energy of volunteer contributors, GI voluntarism is beginning to relocate and redistribute selected GI productive activities from mapping agencies to networks of non-state volunteer actor...

Abstract Recent wide-field integral-field spectroscopy has revealed the detailed properties of high-redshift Ly ? nebulae, most often targeted due to presence an active galactic nucleus (AGN). Here, we use VLT/MUSE resolve morphology and kinematics a nebula initially identified strong emission at z ? 3.2 (LABn06). Our observations reveal two-lobed nebula, least ?173 pkpc in diameter, with light...

BACKGROUND Mapping of lymphatic filariasis (LF) is essential for the delineation of endemic implementation units and determining the population at risk that will be targeted for mass drug administration (MDA). Prior to the current study, only 116 of the 832 woredas (districts) in Ethiopia had been mapped for LF. The aim of this study was to perform a nationwide mapping exercise to determine the...

Vulvar cancer is a rare gynecological malignancy with mainly lymphatic spread. Sentinel node mapping plays an important role in the management of this gynecological malignancy. In the current study, we reported our experience in sentinel node mapping of vulvar cancer and review the literature accordingly. Since the introduction of sentinel node mapping to the surgical oncology community of our ...
