Multistage interconnection networks are frequently proposed as connections in multiprocessor systems or network switches. In this paper, a new tool for stochastic simulation of such networks is presented. Simple crossbars can be simulated as well as multistage interconnection networks that are arranged in multiple layers.

INTRODUCTION We present data on the association of manganese (Mn) level with hypertension in a representative sample of the adult Korean population who participated in the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) 2008. METHODS This study was based on the data obtained by KNHANES 2008, which was conducted for three years (2007-2009) using a rolling sampling design invo...

An innovative space-time adaptive preprocessing algorithm based on a low complexity multistage nested Wiener filter is introduced. A closed form expression for the Wiener-Hopf filter weights is developed using the multistage nested Wiener falter parameters. It is demonstrated that this algorithm is capable of suppressing both wideband and narrowband jammers while maintaining low complexity.

Methods for the production of cold atomic and molecular samples relying on the deceleration of pulsed supersonic beams are described and a review of the corresponding literature is presented. These methods include multistage Stark deceleration, multistage Zeeman deceleration, and Rydberg-Stark deceleration. Recent applications of the cold samples produced with these techniques are summarized.

A reliable microfluidic platform for the generation of stable and monodisperse multistage drug delivery systems is reported. A glass-capillary flow-focusing droplet generation device was used to encapsulate thermally hydrocarbonized porous silicon (PSi) microparticles into the aqueous cores of double emulsion drops, yielding the formation of a multistage PSi-lipid vesicle. This composite system...

aim: there is conclusive scientific evidence of the adverse effect of excessive salt consumption on health, particularly on blood pressure, leading to cardiovascular disease (cvd), gastric cancer, osteoporosis, cataracts, kidney stones, diabetes and obesity. we investigated the determinants of salt consumption among the rural women in chabahar (iran) by applying the theory of planned behavior. ...

The multistage model is tested on several human and animal data sets. It fits in some cases but not in others. With human lung cancer data, there is a drop in risk for ex-smokers quite different from the predictions of the model. The results are not conclusive but are compatible with the view that the multistage model provides a family of curves that often fit cancer incidence data, but may not...
