Array data-dependence analysis is an important part of any optimizing compiler for scientiic programs. The Omega test is an exact test for integer solutions to aane constraints and can be used for array data dependence. There are other tests that are less exact but are intended to be faster. Many of these less exact tests are rather complicated and designed to be as accurate as possible while s...

There are two components in the scheduler for multilevel-secure databases which use the replicated architecture; global and local schedulers. Since the global scheduler, which enforces data consistency among replicas, has to make scheduling decisions based on transactions (i.e., without any knowledge of actual data or physical layout of data), an accurate analysis technique which can detect con...

Array data dependence analysis provides important information for optimization of scientiic programs. Array dependence testing can be viewed as constraint analysis, although traditionally general-purpose constraint manipulation algorithms have been thought to be too slow for dependence analysis. We have explored the use of exact constraint analysis, based on Fourier's method, for array data dep...

This paper proposes a new approach for local dependence analysis which exploits relationships at less frequent situations: a population version of contingency table analysis of two distributions expressed in a colored figure, and local impulse response analysis. The local dependence is measured by mutual information computed based on bivariate nonparametric density estimates with additional dev...

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been used widely in various psychiatric disorders like depression and schizophrenia. There have been some reports of its usefulness in alcohol dependence and substance use disorders. The present paper reviews the studies done using rTMS in substance use disorders including alcohol and nicotine dependence. Various studies done have been rev...

results the χ2 test showed that the experimental and control groups significantly differed in relapse rates (χ2 = 6.30, df = 1, p < 0.001). in addition, the covariance analysis showed a significant difference between the two groups in resiliency enhancement at post-test (f = 33.76, p < 0.001) and follow-up (f = 37.67, p < 0.001). conclusion the results indicate that lifestyle training is effect...

Background: The incidence of suicide is higher in individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) than the general population. This prevalence rate is related to many factors including drug dependence. This study was conducted in people wounded during the Iran-Iraq war with PTSD, in order to compare the risk of suicide in those with and without drug and nicotine dependence.Methods: This ...

Experiments were carried out in which the dependence of the fractional softening on temperature, time and strain rate was determined in a 304H stainless steel. Three prestrain ranges were identified pertaining to three different post-deformation softening behaviors: 1) prestraining to below the DRX critical strain: strongly strain dependent softening by SRX alone with softening kinetics control...
