A hot spot of a program is a program region, whose execution time crucially impacts the overall execution time of the program. A hot spot can often be optimized without fully analyzing the whole program. This is supported by approaches for demand-driven data-flow analysis. Particularly successful in practice turned out to be an approach based on reverse data-flow analysis. In this paper, we rec...

Aortic stiffening often precedes cardiovascular diseases, including stroke, but the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms remain obscure. We hypothesized that such abnormalities could be attributable to altered central blood flow dynamics. In 296 patients with uncomplicated hypertension, Doppler velocity pulse waveforms were recorded at the proximal descending aorta and carotid artery to cal...

Aim: To evaluate the risk factors for rubeosis iridis by colour Doppler imaging (CDI) in patients with complete internal carotid artery occlusion (ICAO). Methods: 34 eyes of 32 consecutive patients with complete ICAO were enrolled. Using CDI, blood flow direction (forward, reverse, undetectable) in the ophthalmic artery (OA), central retinal artery (CRA), and short posterior ciliary artery (SPC...

Flow velocity spectra of main arteries in 24 healthy adult subjects and 21 healthy aged subjects were transcutaneously studied using the directional ultrasonic Doppler technique. I) The instantaneous flow velocity spectrum is continuous throughout a pulse cycle, and intensified near the instantaneous maximum velocity, especially in the earlypart ofa pulse cycle. 2) No reverse flow phase is obse...

In the recent decade, special attention is paid to reverse logistic due to economic benefits of recovery and recycling of used products as well as environmental legislation and social concerns. On the other hand، many researches claim that separately and sequential planning of forward and reverse logistic causes sub-optimality. Effective transport activities are also one of the most important c...

Reverse bubbling refers to singularities which develop in geometric flows as one takes a reverse limit t ↓ T rather than the traditional t ↑ T . Flows with this type of singularity may have different or better properties, and can provide alternative ways of flowing past singularities. We survey the original reverse bubbling theory for the harmonic map flow, including recent developments, and ot...
