Large-scale simulations play a central role in science and the industry. Several challenges occur when building simulation software, because simulations require complex software developed in a dynamical construction process. That is why simulation software engineering (SSE) is emerging lately as a research focus. The dichotomous trade-off between efficiency and scalability (SE) on one hand and ...

Super-Secondary structure elements (super-SSEs) are the structurally conserved ensembles of secondary structure elements (SSEs) within a protein. They are of great biological interest. In this work, we present a method to formally represent and mine the sequence order independent super-SSE motifs that occur repeatedly in large data sets of protein structures. We represent a protein structure as...

Although field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) has proven very useful in biomedical research, the high vacuum required (10-3 to 10-7 Pa) precludes direct observations of living cells and tissues at high resolution and often produces unwanted structural changes. We have previously described a method that allows the investigator to keep a variety of insect larvae alive in the high ...

Neurons release endocannabinoids from their dendrites to trigger changes in the probability of transmitter release. Although such retrograde signaling has been described for principal neurons, such as hippocampal pyramidal cells and cerebellar Purkinje cells (PCs), it has not been demonstrated for local interneurons. Here we tested whether inhibitory interneurons in the cerebellum, stellate cel...

This paper presents compiler technology that targets general purpose microprocessors augmented with SIMD execution units for exploiting data level parallelism. Numerical applications are accelerated by automatically vectorizing blocks of straight line code to be run on processors featuring two-way short vector SIMD extensions like Intel’s SSE 2 on Pentium 4, SSE 3 on Intel Prescott, AMD’s 3DNow...

The performance enhancement of stretch shortening cycle (SSe) contractions has been well documented in the literature. However, the majority of these studies have been performed either on gross human systems for multijointed movements, or in isolated animal muscle studies using in-vitro preparations. This study was designed to apply the principles used for these invitro animal studies to the hu...

Searchable symmetric encryption (SSE) has been studied extensively for its full potential in enabling exact-match queries on encrypted records. Yet, situations for similarity queries remain to be fully explored. In this paper, we design privacy-assured similarity search schemes over millions of encrypted high-dimensional records. Our design employs locality-sensitive hashing (LSH) and SSE, wher...

This paper discusses the implementation tradeoffs of the Pentium III processor. The Pentium III processor implements a new extension of the IA-32 instruction set called the Internet Streaming Single-Instruction, MultipleData (SIMD) Extensions (Internet SSE). The processor is based on the Pentium Pro processor microarchitecture. The initial development goals for the Pentium III processor were ...

0272-1732/00/$10.00  2000 IEEE In the volume PC market, the demand is growing for general-purpose processors that facilitate visual and graphical computing on the Internet. Responding to this need, Intel developed the streaming SIMD extensions (SSE), a set of processor instructions designed to boost performance of multimedia and Internet applications, and implemented them on its Pentium III pr...

At present, the cloud storage used in searchable symmetric encryption schemes (SSE) is provided in a private way, which cannot be seen as a true cloud. Moreover, the cloud server is thought to be credible, because it always returns the search result to the user, even they are not correct. In order to really resist this malicious adversary and accelerate the usage of the data, it is necessary to...
