Te xture On Demand (TOD) is a technique for organizing large amounts of stored texture data in disk files and accessing it efficiently. Simply reading entire texture images into memory is not a good solution for real memory systems or for virtual memory systems. Te xture data should be read from disk files only on demand. In the TOD technique, each texture image is stored as a sequence of fixed...

thalassemia major patients require repeated transfusions of packed cell and their lysis lead to iron deposition especially in the cardiac walls such as septum and posterior wall, so make thickening and cause cardiac disorders. in this case-control study, our object was to appoint if qt and qtc and te dispersions were predictors of cardiac disorders in thalassemia major patients or not. 34 thala...

Thromboembolism (TE) has recently been recognized as a clinical entity in children. Determining the clinical characteristics of pediatric TE is an important first step in dealing with this new disorder. The paper summarizes 1776 consecutive children with systemic TE referred to 1-800-NO-CLOTS telephone consultation service. 1-800-NO-CLOTS is a free consultation service for clinicians managing p...

As a soft-state protocol, RSVP specifies that each RSVP node sends periodic control messages to maintain the state for active RSVP sessions. The protocol overhead due to such periodic messages grows linearly with the number of RSVP sessions. One may reduce the overhead by using a longer refresh period, which unfortunately leads to longer delays in re-synchronizing RSVP state. In this paper we i...

It is shown that the Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) fuzzy inference mechanism is optimal with respect to a certain criterion that quantiies the controversy between the inference made, and the knowledge represented in the knowledge-base.
