Computing the Fast Fourier Transform on a distributed memory architecture by a direct pipelined radix-2 algorithm, a bi-section or multi-section algorithm, all yield the same communications requirement, if communication for all FFT stages can be performed concurrently, the input data is in normal order, and the data allocation consecutive. With a cyclic data allocation, or bit-reversed input da...

Background: Acute pharyngitis is one of the most common illnesses for which patients visit primary care physicians. Its etiology is primarily viral in adults. Only about 10% of cases have a bacterial cause. Nonetheless, a total of 78-98% of adults with acute pharyngitis was treated with antibiotics. Thus, virological investigation prior to treating would support the appropriate use of antiviral...

Natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites are gaining in popularity due to recyclability and availability. This research investigates how oil palm shell (OPS) filler materials impact the interlaminar shear dynamic properties of flax hybrid under cryogenic circumstances. Filler two different proportions (0, 2, 4, 6 wt.% OPS) 40 fibers were used make composites. The OPS filler-filled polymeric ...

Abstract Bisphenol-S (BS) has recently raised public concerns for its adverse effect on the health safety and ecological security. BS concentrations were detected in many water resources, ranging from 10 ng L −1 to 300 μg , so that various purification techniques have been sought remove BS. This study investigated performance of ozonation ferrate oxidation degradation since they are both promis...

BACKGROUND Owing to a scarcity of data or other causes, patient research on the orphan population is lacking in most societies. Consequently, the primary goal of this study was to explore quality of life (QOL) and quality of care (QOC) among orphan patients (OPs) receiving tertiary healthcare services in Saudi Arabia (SA). METHOD This study used a cross-sectional, quantitative survey design. ...

We examined the expression and activity of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in both gamma interferon (IFN-gamma)-treated and untreated murine macrophages infected with the gram-negative bacterium Brucella suis. The bacteria were opsonized with a mouse serum containing specific antibrucella antibodies (ops-Brucella) or with a control nonimmune serum (c-Brucella). The involvement of the pro...
