In this paper, we propose an operator splitting method for convectiondominated transport equations with nonlinear reactions, which model groundwater contaminant biodegradation and many other interesting applications. The proposed method can be efficiently implemented by applying software integration techniques such as dynamical link library (DLL) or component object model (COM). Numerical resul...

Outbreak cases of acute respiratory disease (ARD) associated with subspecies B2 human adenovirus 11a (HAdV-11a) infection were detected during 2005 in a military basic training camp in Singapore. The Singapore HAdV-11a strain is highly similar to other Asian strains of HAdV-11, including strain QS-DLL, which is responsible for the recently described 2006 outbreak of ARD in China.

The proboscis is one of the most highly modified appendages in Drosophila melanogaster. However, the phenotypes of proboscipedia (pb) mutants, which transform the proboscis into leg or antenna, indicate a basic homology among these limbs. Recent genetic studies have revealed a developmental system for patterning appendages and identified several genes required for limb development. Among these ...

BACKGROUND Depression and depressive symptoms are highly prevalent in old persons but are potentially reversible. Full recovery is the main goal in the treatment of depressive episodes. Compared to clinical trials, observational studies of patients with depression in late life (DLL) show poorer prognoses in terms of response and remission. However, observational studies on the course of DLL are...

The present study examined the roles that language of assessment, dominance, and teacher use during instruction play in Dual Language Learner (DLL) science scores. A total 255 Head Start DLL children were assessed on equated assessments English Spanish. First overall differences between two languages examined, then associations performance compared related to children’s quantity Spanish, teache...

We describe the SAT solver Eureka. Eureka is a state-of-the-art SAT solver, used in various Formal Verification flows at Intel. Eureka is based upon backtrack search DLL algorithm, enhanced by failure-driven assertion loop; nonstandard conflict analyses; restart and clause deletion strategies; CBH decision heuristic and decision stack shrinking.
