One of the tasks of ISFEREA action at the Joint Research Center (JRC) in Ispra, Italy, is to assess changes in land cover after natural disasters using satellite imagery. To describe the pre-event and post-event scenarios the available heterogeneous data are analysed and eventually fused in order to achieve the most accurate and reliable information. With respect to automatic 3D information ext...

Current parallelizing compilers for message-passing machines only support a limited class of data-parallel applications. One method for eliminating this restriction is to combine powerful shared-memory parallelizing compilers with software distributed-shared-memory (DSM) systems. Preliminary results show simply combining the parallelizer and software DSM yields very poor performance. The compil...

Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) has many advantages in heterogeneous environments, such as geographically distant clusters or The Grid. These includes: locality utilization and replication transparency. The fact that processes communicate indirectly through memory rather than directly, is giving DSM these advantages. This paper presents the design of Global PastSet (GPS) which is a DSM system t...

A structured interview was used to examine the 1-year incidence and prevalence of depression among 116 first-year university students. While 24 of the subjects (20.7%) met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 4th ed. (DSM-IV) criteria for Major Depressive Episode (MDE), 62 (53.4%) met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 3rd ed. Revised (DSM-III-R) crit...

One method to evaluate a distributed shared memory(DSM) system is to analyze its performance for a variety of algorithms using a simulator. Eager DSM systems reduce latencies for remote data accesses by sending shared data changes immediately to all processors that may need it. Simulation results for two parallel application programs, Gaussian elimination and Fast Fourier Transform, are compare...

As digital soil mapping (DSM) applications have been developed at multiple extents over the two last decades, large areas of world are now covered by several DSM products with similar resolution and targeted properties. Thus, from these products, end-users must carefully select one that will best meet their needs. The aim this study was to evaluate three obtained different scales (global, natio...

This study aimed to adapt the Eating Disorder Diagnostic Scale-DSM 5 Version (EDDS-DSM-5) as a diagnostic and statistical tool in Turkish population examine its validity reliability. After translation procedures were completed, demographic form, EDDS-DSM-5, The Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q) administered participants (i.e., 237 females, 84 males, 4 non-binary). Internal reliability, test-ret...
