Computer architects extensively use simulation to steer future processor research and development. Simulating large-scale multicore processors is extremely time-consuming sometimes impossible because of infrastructure limitations. This paper proposes scale-model simulation, a novel methodology predict system performance. Scale-model first constructs simulates scale model the target with reduced...

background traumatic brain injury (tbi) is an important public health problem throughout the world. objective this study assesses repeated glasgow coma scale (gcs) scores to predict the severity of tbi and survival of the patients. materials and methods a sample of 239 patients who were hospitalized with traumatic brain injury was selected by random sampling from icu wards at shahid beheshti ho...

in data envelopment analyze (dea) the scale efficiency in the input-oriented ccr model is less than or equal to the scale efficiency in dea based on the fractional analysis (dea-r). also, the scale efficiency in case of multiple inputs and one output and vice versa the scale efficiencies are equal in dea and dea-r. in this paper, first, dea-r model with weight restrictions when there is relativ...

salinity of soil and water is the most important agricultural hazard in arid and semi-aridregions. in saline soils, yield production directly influences by soluble salts in the root zone aswell as by shallow water table depth. the first step for reclamation of such soils is reducingsalinity to optimum level by leaching. the objective of this study was to develop a practicalmodel to estimate wat...

aims: the presence of a patient with breast cancer in the family can be considered as aguidance for further prevention and increase the susceptibility of people against this disease.champion's health belief model scale is translated and tested in different countries, but fewattempts have been made to measure this scale in women with history of breast cancer.methods: after the standard champion'...

The intensity –duration –frequency (IDF) curves play most important role in watershed management, flood control and hydraulic design of structures. Conventional method for calculating the IDF curves needs hourly rainfall data in different durations which is not extensively available in many regions. Instead 24-hour precipitation statistics were measured in most rain-gauge stations. In this stud...
