Background: Despite exist several centers of excellence in the various medical field in the country, most of them lack a single procedure and organizational structures in their functioning, organizing, targeting, etc. So the study aimed to design an organizational model that meets the goals and mission of them in the field of medical sciences. Methods: This qualitative and applied research was...

Artemis is a modular application designed for analyzing and troubleshooting the performance of large clusters running datacenter services. Artemis is composed of four modules: (1) distributed log collection and data extraction, (2) a database storing the extracted data, (3) an interactive visualization tool for exploring the data, and (4) a plug-in interface (and a set of sample plug-ins) allow...

In this paper, we present an implementation of a turbo product codes (TPC) decoder achieved on a novel Reconfigurable Multimedia Accelerator (RMA). The RMA is based on the principle of hierarchical shared memory storage managed through a dedicated local controller favoring high data throughput, while squeezing round-trip memory latencies. The mapping methodology facilitates the characterization...

BACKGROUND It is important to know the current level of primary care performance in order to evaluate and plan for desirable health policy. We tried to compare patient's assessment of primary (family physician, general practitioner, internist, pediatrician, and general surgeon) and non-primary (the other specialties) care physicians. METHODS Study subjects were physicians of primary care clin...

Urban O3 is produced by photochemical chain reactions that amplify background O3 in mixtures of gaseous nitrogen oxides (NOx) and organic molecules. Current thinking treats NOx and organics as independent variables that limit O3 production depending on the NOx to organic ratio; in this paradigm, reducing organics either has no effect or reduces O3. We describe a theoretical counterexample where...
