Processor speed is improving at a faster rate than the speed of main memory, which makes memory accesses increasingly expensive. One way to solve this problem is to reduce miss ratio of the processor’s last level cache by improving its replacement policy. We approach the problem by co-designing the runtime system and hardware and exploiting the semantics of the applications written in data-flow...

BACKGROUND Social networks play a key role in caring for older adults. A better understanding of the characteristics of different social networks types (TSNs) in a given community provides useful information for designing policies to care for this age group. Therefore this study has three objectives: 1) To derive the TSNs among older adults affiliated with the Mexican Institute of Social Securi...

This paper examines the effects of age dependency ratio (the young age, old-age and overall age) urbanization on renewable non-renewable energy consumption in Brazil, India, China, South Africa, considering panel data from 1990 to 2019. We control economic growth foreign direct investment inflows as key factors demand function using Stochastic Impacts by Regression Population, Affluence Technol...

The elastic moduli of human subchondral, trabecular, and cortical bone tissue from a proximal tibia were experimentally determined using three-point bending tests on a microstructural level. The mean modulus of subchondral specimens was 1.15 GPa, and those of trabecular and cortical specimens was 4.59 GPa and 5.44 GPa respectively. Significant differences were found in the modulus values betwee...

A novel method is proposed to improve the performance of independent vector analysis (IVA) for blind signal separation of acoustic mixtures. IVA is a frequency-domain approach that successfully resolves the well-known permutation problem by applying a spherical dependency model to all pairs of frequency bins. The dependency model of IVA is equivalent to a single clique in an undirected graph; a...

The combined effect of lowered fertility and improved health and longevity has generated growing numbers and proportions of the elderly throughout the world. This desk-review study is based on available secondary information from published and unpublished sources including web searches. The dependency ratio is showing an increasing trend in Nepal because of youth migration. Therefore, a holisti...

www.aafp.org/afp VOLUME 63, NUMBER 12 / JUNE 15, 2001 point in time. Gender differences exist, with opioid-related disorders more prevalent in men than women by a ratio of up to 4:1. Opioid dependency is often linked to a history of drug-related criminal activity. Antisocial personality disorder is more prevalent in opioid-dependent persons than in the general population, and opioid-dependent p...

This paper reports an automatic speech summarization method and experimental results using English broadcast news speech. In our proposed method, a set of words maximizing a summarization score indicating an appropriateness of summarization is extracted from automatically transcribed speech. This extraction is performed using a Dynamic Programming (DP) technique according to a target compressio...
