Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have become common in many fields including computer vision, speech recognition, and natural language processing. Although CNN hardware accelerators are already included as part of SoC architectures, the task achieving high accuracy on resource-restricted devices is still considered challenging, mainly due to vast number design parameters that need be balanc...

medicinal plante borazambol with the scientific name of perovskia abrotanoides karel. belongs to the family lamiaceae. it is growing wild in the margin of mountainous roads of arid and cold climate of north iran. it is for a long time that indigenous people by different methods in traditional medicine use its products in preventing and curing diseases. in this research, essential oils of perovs...

Supply chain management is the combination of art and science that goes into improving the supply chain. In some cases of supply chain especially two-stage process, differing weights for the same factors, may not acceptable. The purpose of this paper is a performance evaluation of two-stage using DEA and based on a CSW model and this method for ranking two-stage and could be used to measure the...

some recent studies have revealed the relationship among excess ferritin, coronary heart disease, and insulin resistance. to assess the association between serum ferritin concentration and impaired fasting glucose, this study was designed. a total of 187 people including 91 impaired fasting glucose (ifg) subjects and 96 normal glucose subjects who had been recognized in a large epidemiological ...

In this article, we investigate the application of an operatorsplitting/finite element method to the numerical simulation of a liquid crystal flow. The operator-splitting is achieved through three stages, so that each stage is simpler and easier to deal with than the step of any un-split implicit scheme. The first stage deals with the system coupling a Stokes equation for velocity with an equat...

data envelopment analysis (dea) and balanced scorecard (bsc) are two well-known approaches for measuring performance of decision making units (dmus). bsc is especially applied with quality measures, whereas, when the quantity measures are used to evaluate, dea is more appropriate. in the real-world, dmus usually have complex structures such as network structures. one of the well-known network s...

This excellent volume of eleven essays, plus an editorial introduction, is based mainly, although not exclusively, on papers given at 'The Edwardian Stage' Conference held in 1992 at Vancouver Island, Canada. The collection advances research in the field of Edwardian theatre and performance studies, and successfully combines scholarship with an accessible style, making the essays both highly in...

In many scenarios services are provided in successive stages. While tandem queues appropriately reflect the structure of such scenarios, the typical assumption that service times at different stages are independent often does not fit to reality. We examine, via simulation, the impact of dependencies among service times on expected customer waiting times. The usual network simulation overhead ca...

Purpose: To evaluate long-term clinical performance of 1-stage dental implant prostheses at a single clinic, emphasizing clinical and demographic characteristics that affect implant survival. Materials and Methods: Dental records of all 308 patients (674 implants) treated with 1-stage implants at Mayo Clinic from October 1993 through May 2000 were reviewed from implant placement to last visit. ...
