High performance computing more and more is used in all kinds of fields. But, for the common user, there are several questions on implementing the process of competing on the specialized cluster: such as expense high, management difficulty and operation complex and so on. To these problems, this article designs and realizes the high performance computing environment based on Linux cluster after...

Serving several applications at runtime on a reconfigurable machine is a challenging problem in which the reconfigurable fabric has to be shared among competing tasks. Due to the inherent complexity of assigning tasks to the FPGA, a comprehensive runtime system is required to address all the conflicting issues between competing applications’ demands and to keep the system performance at the req...

This study explores how brand-related information is integrated within a competitive environment. Specifically, we develop a structural equation model of competition between two brands, which includes each brand’s price-quality characteristics (i.e., net utility). The model simultaneously tests how the net utility of the focal and competing brands affects consumers’ attitudes, intentions, and c...

background: previous studies indicate a high incidence of digestive cancers along southern parts of caspian sea including ma­zandaran province. the present study was conducted to further investigate time to occurrence, age distribution and pos­sible risks associated with the incidence time of digestive cancers in the above regions. methods: for this purpose the data of digestive cancer incidenc...

Abstract Spatial heterogeneity plays an important role in the distribution and persistence of infectious diseases. In this article, a vector-host epidemic model is proposed to explore the effect of spatial heterogeneity on the evolution of vector-borne diseases. The model is a Ross-McDonald type model with multiple competing strains on a number of patches connected by host migration. The multi-...
