The performance of high-end supercomputers will reach the exascale through the advent of core counts in the billions. However, in the upcoming exascale computing era it is important not only to focus on the performance, but also on scalability of fine-grained parallel applications, data locality and energy aware scheduling within the parallel code. In fact, parallel applications need to change ...

This review article has focussed on identifying the evidence from randomized controlled trials for the medical and surgical management of endometriosis. A critical summary of the medical management has shown that there is little difference in effectiveness of various medical treatments, but there are differences in the side-effect profiles. Few randomized controlled trials have been undertaken ...

Sharing information about profiles and offered competencies of individual members within an alliance of cooperating companies facilitates searching for potential members of Virtual Organizations. This paper presents a concept of structuring of the competencies as well as a prototype proving this concept. The prototype follows a naturally hybrid architecture of alliances that consists of mutuall...

With the rise of new memory technologies such as Flash we expect future systems to rely on a flatter memory hierarchy using multiple heterogeneous memory units in parallel. Operating systems face new challenges in managing these memories in a costand energy-efficient way while maximizing performance. We believe that the key to meet these challenges is to leverage the full potential of each memo...

the simulation of distillation columns is an essential step in design, optimization, and rating. in this paper, a new procedure has been proposed for the initial estimation of column profiles based on modified kremser’s group method for simple and/or complex columns. the effect of this initialization algorithm on simulation procedure has been studied through two examples. the results show signi...

this study was planned to investigate the effects of supplementation of cinnamon on fasting blood glucose levels and lipid profiles among type2 diabetic patients. 60 subjects with type 2 diabetes from both sexes (30 males and 30 females) were allocated to the intervention and control groups (30 individuals per group). t he doses of 1.5 g of cinnamon were equally administered orally in the form ...

This study seeks to provide insights on understanding the contemporary problems of energy efficiency in Ukrainian universities by developing a comprehensive energy efficiency management framework that encompasses its participating subjects, objects and key drivers along with suggesting its implementation mechanism and tools. Emphasis should be given that the current situation of inefficient and...

Modern distributed information systems cope with disconnection and limited bandwidth by using caches. In communicationconstrained situations, traditional demand-driven approaches are inadequate. Instead, caches must be preloaded in order to mitigate the absence of connectivity or the paucity of bandwidth. In this paper, we propose to use application-level knowledge expressed as profiles to mana...

This article develops a more comprehensive understanding of data mining by examining the application of this technology in the marketplace. In addition to exploring the technological issues that arise from the use of these applications, we address some of the social concerns that are too often ignored. As more firms shift more of their business activities to the Web, increasingly more informati...
