Instruction cache performance is widely recognized as a critical component of the overall performance of a program; especially so in the case of large applications like database servers. In this report, we present a technique for (1) identifying repeated blocks of instructions in a program executable, and (2) converting these repeated code blocks into lightweight procedures (i.e. LWprocs). The ...

Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is characterized by pruritus in the setting elevated serum bile acids (BA). While some studies have identified cholecystectomy (CCY) as a risk factor for developing ICP, little known about effects prior CCY on severity or outcomes disease. Our objective was to compare maternal women with and without who developed ICP. This retrospective cohort study p...

Coordinated operations between unmanned air and ground assets allow leveraging of multi-domain sensing and increase opportunities for improving line of sight communications. While numerous military missions would benefit from coordinated UAV-UGV operations, foundational capabilities that integrate stove-piped tactical systems and share available sensor data are required and not yet available. i...

Efficient memory resource management requires knowledge of the memory demands of applications or systems at runtime. A widely proposed approach is to construct an LRU-based miss ratio curve (MRC), which provides not only the current working set size (WSS) but also the relationship between performance and target memory allocation size. Unfortunately, the cost of LRUMRC monitoring is nontrivial. ...

Communication facilities can totally be destroyed by natural and / or manmade disasters. A critical problem after disaster is getting the first hand knowledge of the destructions and also establishing some communication links among the survivors. This paper focuses on the vital need for providing communications facility to the victims, immediately after the disaster and prior to the arrival of ...

With the advent of digitalization, information and communications technology facilities have become an indispensable part of education especially at the universities. This study has been undertaken with dual purposes - to find the existing scenario of information and communications technology facilities and to gauge the perception of the students onthe quality of those facilities - at the unive...
