Most recently used (MRU) cache is one of the set-associative caches that emphasize implementation of associativity higher than 2. However, the access time is increased because the MRU information must be fetched before accessing the sequential MRU (SMRU) cache. In this paper, focusing on the SMRU cache with subblock placement, we propose an MRU cache scheme that separates the valid bits from da...

INTRODUCTION Antenatal and postnatal care services are significant interventions to improve maternal health and prevent maternal and infant deaths. However, these services are poorly developed in Bangladesh, particularly among Indigenous women. This study examined factors associated with antenatal and postnatal care visits among the Mru, the most underprivileged Indigenous people in Bangladesh....

Parallel accesses to the table lookaside buffer (TLB) and cache array are crucial for high-performance computer systems, and the choice of cache types is one of the most important factors affecting cache performance. In this paper we classify caches according to both index and tag. Since both index and tag could be either virtual (V) or real (R), our classification results in four combinations ...

Several vascular abnormalities related with urinary system such as crossing accessory renal vessels, retroiliac ureters, retrocaval ureters, posterior nutcracker syndrome, and ovarian vein syndrome may be responsible for urinary collecting system obstruction. Split-bolus magnetic resonance urography (MRU) using contrast material as two separate bolus injections provides superior demonstration o...

BACKGROUND In England, Public Health England conducts enhanced surveillance of invasive meningococcal disease (IMD). The continuing decline in reported IMD cases has raised concerns that the MRU may be underestimating true IMD incidence. METHODS We linked five national datasets to estimate disease burden over five years, including PHE Meningococcal Reference Unit (MRU) confirmations, hospital...

PURPOSE To assess the effect of diuretic administration on the image quality of excretory magnetic resonance urography (MRU) obtained following intravenous hydration, and to determine whether intravenous hydration alone is sufficient to produce diagnostic quality studies of nondilated upper tracts. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 22 patients with nondilated upper tracts were evaluated with c...

This essay examines the tenuous state of the Mano River Union (MRU) and suggests how Eclustering can be employed to reinvigorate the association. The MRU is a regional association established between Liberia and Sierra Leone in 1973. Guinea joined the association in 1980. The goal of the Union was to foster economic cooperation among the three neighboring countries. It is named after the Mano R...

OBJECTIVES Studies on medical resource utilization (MRU) and related costs are important for evaluating the potential patient management and cost-effectiveness implications of antiviral treatments for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The objectives of this study were (i) to compare the MRU and related costs for two treatment approaches; (ii) to identify the main drivers of resource use and co...

The cache replacement policy is one of the factors that determines the eeectiveness of cache memories. In this paper, we study the impact of incorporating the cache block coherence state information in the Random replacement policy in a shared{memory multipro-cessor. We assign replacement priority to each cache block within a set based on its state. To reduce the probability of replacing a rece...

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to determine the potential of magnetic resonance urography (MRU) in evaluation of paediatric urinary tract pathologies. PATIENTS AND METHODS.: Twenty-one paediatric urological patients were evaluated with T1, T2 prior and after and 3D gradient echo sequences after the contrast administration. Results were compared with findings obtained with ultrasound which...
