Micro-macro models provide a powerful tool to study the relationship between microscale mechanisms and emergent macroscopic behavior. However, the detailed microscopic modeling may require tracking and evolving a high-dimensional configuration space at high computational cost. In this work, we present a parallel algorithm for simulation a high-dimensional micro-macro model of a gliding motility...

We have recently proposed a protocol for retrieving nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra based on a spatially-dependent encoding of the MR interactions. It has also been shown that the spatial selectivity with which spins are manipulated during such encoding opens up new avenues towards the removal of magnetic field inhomogeneities; not by demanding extreme Bo field uniformities, but rather...

the factors such as disease can disrupt homeostasis, resulting in perturbations of endogenous biochemicals that are involved in key metabolic profiles. metabonomics is useful technique to quantitative description of endogenous metabolites present in a biological sample such as urine, plasma and tissue. high resolution 1 h nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr)-based metabonomics is a technique used t...

Adolescent sexual and reproductive health gained particular traction in Mozambique following the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development leading to the inception of Programa Geração Biz (PGB), a multi-sectoral initiative that was piloted starting in 1999 and fully scaled-up to all provinces by 2007. We conducted a systematic review of the literature to gather information on ...

Elasticity is one of the distinguishing characteristics associated with Cloud computing emergence. It enables cloud resources to auto-scale to cope with workload demand. Multi-instances horizontal scaling is the common scalability architecture in Cloud; however, its current implementation is coarse-grained, while it considers Virtual Machine (VM) as a scaling unit, this implies additional scali...

The article addresses the problem of how to create sustainable change in health care. It builds on two on-going case studies which examine endeavours to develop system innovations for delivering high quality services more efficiently. The early stages of these innovation processes are studied through the lens of multiple-level model of change. The model suggests that change takes place as the o...
