As a parallel computation framework, Spark can cache repeatedly resilient distribution datasets (RDDs) partitions in different nodes to speed up the process of computation. However, Spark does not have a good mechanism to select reasonable RDDs to cache their partitions in limited memory. In this paper, we propose a novel selection algorithm, by which Spark can automatically select the RDDs to ...

By examining the two papers on 4G and 3G, namely wireless networks: opportunities and challenges by Hassan Gobjuka, Verizon, 919 hidden bridge irving, Tx 75038 and wireless network: opportunities and challenges emphasis us to throw light on the differences between the two networks. This task is being done in order to list out the drawbacks and merits of these two evolutions of the networks and ...

OBJECTIVE As child maltreatment has a major impact, prevention and early detection of parenting problems are of great importance. We have developed a structured interview which uses parents' concerns for a joint needs assessment by parents and a child health care nurse, followed by a professional judgment on the risk level of future parenting and developmental problems: the Structured Problem A...

Ca(2+) sparks are highly localized cytosolic Ca(2+) transients caused by a release of Ca(2+) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum via ryanodine receptors (RyRs); they are the elementary events underlying global changes in Ca(2+) in skeletal and cardiac muscle. In smooth muscle and some neurons, Ca(2+) sparks activate large conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels (BK channels) in the spark microdo...

Several perspectives on Ca 2 1 sparks were recently published. A common theme was the importance of defining the mechanisms that terminate local SR Ca 2 1 release. We propose that the timeand Ca 2 1 -dependent modal gating behavior of single ryanodine receptor (RyR) channels is the negative control mechanism that terminates local Ca 2 1 release. Specifically, the observed “inactivation” and “ad...

The web is transforming from traditional web to web of data, where information is presented in such a way that it is readable by machines as well as human. As a part of this transformation, every day more and more websites implant structured data, e.g. product, person, organization, place etc., into the HTML pages. To implant the structured data different encoding vocabularies, such as RDFa, mi...

Spark plays a great role in studying uniqueness of sparse solutions of the underdetermined linear equations. In this article, we derive a new lower bound of spark. As an application, we obtain a new criterion for the uniqueness of sparse solutions of linear equations.

Near real time Big Data from social network sites like Twitter or Facebook has been an interesting source for analytics by researchers in recent years owing to various factors including its up-to-date-ness, availability and popularity, though there may be a compromise in genuineness or accuracy. Apache Spark, the trendy big data processing engine that offers faster solutions compared to Hadoop,...

Parkinson disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder afflicting more than 1 million aging Americans, incurring $23 billion in annual medical costs in the U.S. alone. Approximately 90% Parkinson patients undergoing treatment have mobility related problems related to medication which prevent them doing their activities of daily living. Efficient management of PD requires complex medication regi...
