Deformation pattern of the northeastern part of the Iranian-Arabian collision zone (i.e., mainly Sanandaj-Sirjan Belt or Zone) is the main concern of this paper. Here, we investigate the stress distribution and displacement pattern of Eghlid-Deh Bid area as affected by the position of Zagros suture using a three dimensional mechanical model. The modeled area is located between the Zagros Thrust...

Performance evaluation studies are to be an integral part of the design and tuning of parallel applications Their structure and their behavior are the dominating factors We propose a hierarchical approach to the systematic characterization of the workload of a parallel system to be kept as modular and exible as possible The methodology is based on three di erent but related layers the applicati...

Building deep neural networks to control autonomous agents which have to interact in real-time with the physical world, such as robots or automotive vehicles, requires a seamless integration of time into a network’s architecture. The central question of this work is, how the temporal nature of reality should be reflected in the execution of a deep neural network and its components. Most artific...

Object-oriented programming, design patterns, and frameworks are abstraction techniques that have been used to reduce the complexity of sequential programming. This paper describes our approach of applying these techniques to the more difficult domain of parallel programming. We combine these three abstraction techniques with a fourth kind of abstraction, programming layers. The result is the P...

The title compounds, C12H12ClN5OS, (I), and C12H12ClN5OS, (II), are 2-[(di-amino-pyrimidin-2-yl)sulfan-yl]acetamides. Compound (II), crystallizes with two independent mol-ecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit. In each of the mol-ecules, in both (I) and (II), an intra-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bond forms an S(7) ring motif. The pyrimidine ring is inclined to the benzene ring by 42.25 (14)° in (...

We report comprehensive atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements at room temperature of the nanoscale topography and lateral friction on the surface of thin solid films of an intermediate-length normal alkane, dotriacontane (n-C32H66), adsorbed onto a SiO2 surface. Our topographic and frictional images, recorded simultaneously in the contact mode, reveal a multilayer structure in which one to...

In the title compound, C14H18N2O5S, the C-S bond lengths are unequal, with S-Cglucose = 1.8016 (15) Å and S-Cpyrid-yl = 1.7723 (13) Å. The hydro-philic glucose residues lie in the regions z ≃ 0.25 and 0.75. Four classical hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules to form layers parallel to the ab plane, from which the pyridyl rings project; pyridyl ring stacking parallel to the a axis links adjacent l...

In the title compound, C39H58O4, the steroid rings A and C adopt a chair conformation, while ring B adopts a half-chair conformation, and ring D has an envelope conformation, with the methyl-substituted C atom as the flap. In the crystal, mol-ecules pack within layers parallel to (100), with their long axis parallel to the [101] direction. Adjacent layers are linked via C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and...

In the crystal of the title hydrated molecular salt, C(6)H(10)N(2) (2+)·SO(4) (2-)·H(2)O, N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into layers parallel to the ab plane. C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed both within these layers and between mol-ecules and ions in adjacent layers.
