The main aim of this paper is to construct menarcheal life-table of Nepal using sample survey data. An alternative technique for the construction such as a life-table based on models has been proposed. The construction of such a life-table describes the distribution of the waiting time for getting menarche at birth as well as some specified age or age group of girls (in years). The average expe...

This paper describes PPRAM (Parallel Processing Random Access Memory) that is an architectural framework for merged memory/logic ASSPs(Application-Speci c Standard Products). At rst, the paper discusses the serious problems that the current high-performance microprocessor-based systems are facing: memory wall, design-cost/time problem, and limits of instruction-level parallelism, and how PPRAM ...

Several countermeasures against side-channel analysis result in misalignment of power traces, in order to make DPA more difficult. In this paper we propose a new algorithm to align the measurements after this desynchronizing through the variations of the internal clock, random delays, etc. The algorithm is based on the ideas of SIFT and U-SURF algorithm that were originally proposed for image r...

A machine is said to be oblivious if the sequences of memory accesses made by the machine for two inputs with the same running time are identically (or close to identically) distributed. Oblivious RAM (ORAM) compilers—compilers that turn any RAM program Π into a oblivious RAM Π′, while only incurring a “small”, polylogarithmic, slow-down—have been extensively studied since the work of Goldreich...

We introduce a technology stack or specification describing the multiple levels of abstraction and specialization needed to implement a neuromorphic processor (NPU) based on the previously-described concept of AHaH Computing and integrate it into today’s digital computing systems. The general purpose NPU implementation described here is called Thermodynamic-RAM (kT-RAM) and is just one of many ...

We investigate environmental effects on evolution of cluster galaxies under hierarchical structure formation scenario using combination of a dissipationless N-body simulation and a semi-analytic model of galaxy formation. The N-body simulation enables us to calculate orbits of galaxies in simulated clusters. Therefore we can include stripping of cold gas from the galactic disks by ram pressure ...

INTRODUCTION Complex retinal arterial macroaneurysms (RAM) are often accompanied by hemorrhage and/or affect the macula. We evaluated the effect of intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy using ranibizumab or aflibercept with or without laser photocoagulation in the treatment of macular edema due to RAM. METHODS A case report of two patients with secondary mac...

One key component of recent pricing-based congestion control schemes is an algorithm for probabilistically setting the Explicit Congestion Notification bit at routers so that a receiver can estimate the sum of link congestion prices along a path. We consider two such algorithms—a well-known algorithm called Random Exponential Marking (REM) and a novel algorithm called Random Additive Marking (R...

Ram-pressure stripping by the intracluster medium (ICM) is one of most advocated mechanisms that affect properties cluster galaxies. A recent study based on a small sample has found many galaxies showing strong signatures ram-pressure also possess an active galactic nucleus (AGN), suggesting possible correlation between two phenomena. This result not been confirmed subsequent study. Building up...

We have examined the effect of eight different protein classes (channels, GPCRs, kinases, ligases, nuclear receptors, proteases, phosphatases, transporters) on the benchmarking performance of the CANDO drug discovery and repurposing platform (http://protinfo.org/cando). The first version of the CANDO platform utilizes a matrix of predicted interactions between 48278 proteins and 3733 human inge...
