SUMMARY A review of heat stroke and its complications is presented. The etiology, physiology, clinical signs, secondary complications, diagnosis, treatment, necropsy results and prevention of heat stroke are discussed. A clinical case is then presented to illustrate the disorder of heat stroke. INTRODUCTION Adult dogs can survive in an environment in which there are wide variations oftemperatur...

We consider the following canonical load balancing problem: D r o p n balls in to n bins so as to minimize the m a x i m u m loading. A n execut ion of the well-known “load the least loaded bin” a lgor i thm results in an opt imal loading of one ball per bin. Azar e t . al. (1994) consider an a lgor i thm which assigns each ball to the least loaded of d randomly chosen b ins and show that the m...

BACKGROUND/AIM The effectiveness of assessing volume load via bioimpedance in pediatric patients with nephrotic syndrome (NS) was investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with NS (n = 34) were compared with healthy controls (n = 20). The inferior vena cava index and inferior vena cava collapsibility index (IVCCI) scores were determined for all subjects. Bioimpedance measurements were used...

Activating JAK2 V617F mutation is present in many patients with chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms. We evaluated, retrospectively, clinical and laboratory data from 70 patients with BCR-ABL1 negative, JAK2 positive, chronic myeloproliferative disease. Quantity of the JAK2 mutant allele was tested for correlation with the clinical presentation, type of chronic myeloproliferative disease, hemog...

Coupled model development presents a set of challenges broadly called the coupling problem; message-passing parallelism complicates matters, resulting in the parallel coupling problem. Performance tuning of parallel coupled systems is complex and performed largely in an ad hoc fashion; from the domain scientist’s perspective the figure of merit is throughput, which is the amount of simulation a...

A new method of load flow analysis of a power system using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) trained neural network is proposed in this paper. Load Flow Analysis is the first and foremost step in power system analysis. It is necessary to solve load flow problem for Power System Planning, Contingency analysis, and Stability analysis. The results obtained from the load flow analysis are Voltage m...

Load balancing is one of the best efficient methods for performance improvement of cluster system. Recently, WLC algorithm is used for the load balancing of cluster system. But, the algorithm also has load imbalance between servers, because it uses inaccurate static load status of servers. In this paper, I suggest a more efficient dynamic load balancing algorithm base on various load status inf...

A Bayesian approach was applied to river water quality modeling (WQM) for load and parameter estimation. A distributed-source model (DSM) was used as the basic model to support load reduction and effective water quality management in the Hun-Taizi River system, northeastern China. Water quality was surveyed at 18 sites weekly from 1995 to 2004; biological oxygen demand (BOD) and ammonia (NH(4)(...
