This thesis describes the development and evaluation of three algorithms for the placement of parallelized applications on future many-core processors. The algorithms are able to compensate for permanent hardware faults and thereby cause a graceful degradation rather than a program crash. The fault model considers permanently failed cores, routers and processor interconnect links. The main goal...

CONTEXT Placing a relative with dementia into a long-term care facility is common among caregivers. Placement transition and factors that affect caregiver health and well-being after placement of the patient are not well described. OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of placing a relative with dementia in a long-term care facility on caregivers' health and well-being. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTIC...

In this paper we propose a numerical algorithm for determining optimal output feedback gains for the pole placement task for symmetric state space systems. The algorithm is based on minimizing a least squares cost criterion which is well defined even when an exact solution to the pole placement task does not exist. Thus, the proposed algorithm provides an important tool in investigating the com...

BACKGROUND Ataxia Telangiectasia (A-T) is a rare monogenetic neurodegenerative disease with pulmonary, nutritional, and dysphagic complications. Gastrostomy tube (GT) feedings are commonly recommended to manage these co-morbidities. In general, outcomes of GT placement in patients with progressive diseases that develop during childhood are not well characterized. The primary purposes of this st...
