Functional units utilization in a multiple-instruction issue architecture

We present a study regarding functional unit utilization in a multiple instruction issue machine: a VLIW processor supporting the conditional execution concept. Since all the instructions are conditionally executed, then we can have several instruction scheduling alternatives to fill the fields of the very large instructions. For example, we can have instructions proceeding from different basic blocks sharing the same very large instructions. The paper shows some instruction scheduling schemes, and how they affect the degree of the occupation of the functional units of machine configurations derived from the basic model of conditional execution architecture.
Traumatic complete transection of dorsal spinal cord un-associated with spinal fracture or subluxation

Complete transection of spinal cord is an extremely rare occurrence, and usually associated with spinal instability, fracture or spondylolisthesis and also have associated systemic polytrauma involving multiple organs injury. However, a complete transaction of spinal cord unassociated with fracture or dislocation or without abnormality on X-ray and CT scan imaging is extremely uncommon. Kalfas et al. observed 11.2 % of cases had cord transection in the study of sixty-two cases spinal cord-injured patients, who underwent spinal MRI, were additionally had evidence vertebral injury. In 2010, Cha et al reported the first case of transection of cord in the cervical region in a 34- year- adult male, as the first case in literature, which was not associated with any vertebral body fracture or dislocation. Authors report an interesting case, 15-year boy, who had complete transection of the spinal cord associated with polytrauma following a motor vehicle accident, spinal X-ray and CT scan imaging was unremarkable, however spinal MRI scan established the diagnosis. Briefly, imaging, management and pertinent literature are reviewed.
SP0096 MRI OF LARGE JOINTS IN ARTHRITIS: HOW TO DO AND HOW THEY ARE DIFFERENT FROM SMALL JOINTS?

The appendicular skeleton is frequently involved in patients with rheumatic diseases. Involved joints are affected by inflammation of the synovium and joint”s entheses. Imaging depicts joint derangement and generally mirrors the pathophysiology of the disease. MRI is considered the imaging modality of choice for the detection of acute joint inflammation as well as its structural sequela. Thus, MRI plays an important role in identifying, monitoring disease activity and the patient follow-up. The MRI features of inflammatory arthritis are well described, especially in the small appendicular joints of the hands and feet and include synovitis, erosions, osteitis, tenosynovitis and erosions. In the current presentation, the typical MRI properties of large joints arthritis in different rheumatic entities will be presented with special focus on the difference from inflammatory findings in smaller appendicular joints. : Disclosure of Interests: None declared
Enabling Comparability and Data Mining with the Arelle ® Open Source Unified Model

Two key points of the call for this conference are the role of XBRL in comparability of financial information and XBRL enabled tools for data mining. The authors participate in an open source platform for XBRL, known as Arelle, that provides initial capabilities in this area and wish that publication of the underlying model and API of the current project can lead to continued evolution of both open source tooling and the understanding of XBRL technology. XBRL suppliers have necessarily focused on commercial objectives, somewhat making it difficult for researchers to participate in the direction of the technology and in unencumbered use of XBRL for research projects. The Arelle platform has been used for both comparability objectives (through implementation of XBRL Formula and Versioning) and data mining objectives (including a sample GUI for simple text and formula-based data mining of online XBRL filings). Methodology This project began with a goal to support XBRL extension features not widely available, beginning with Versioning, which provides a formal model of the differences between taxonomies, and evolving to newly emerging validation (IFRS Global Filer Manual) and full implementation of XBRL formula. The goal was a compact model-driven architecture that unified these extensions in a manner that was both a comprehensible and maintainable implementation (in terms of source code size), and easily usable by the research community (as well as being open sourced). The XBRL International 2010 Brussels conference presented interim progress of the XBRL Strategic initiative Abstract Modeling Task Force, which is defining UML models for the XBRL Base Specification and Dimensions, and UML models from the GRC/XML project, which was modeled from financial reporting semantics. Both differ. The authors were encouraged to document the model currently in Arelle, to provide a basis of encouraging the contributing community to both refine the model and further engage it in research activities. Overview of unified model approach This paper describes the unified model using UML. An earlier paper (Fischer and Mueller, 2011), describes the origins and goals for the project. Arelle’s model integrates the objects of XBRL instances, inline instances, XBRL Discoverable Taxonomy Sets (DTSes), XBRL formula linkbases, XBRL versioning metamodels (models of DTS comparisons), and testcases. The integration of modeling of testcases provides a practical benefit in that its concrete realization allows for continual verification of tool performance as it is extended and adapted by its users. A goal of the model was to form the basis of a minimalist initial implementation, as a counter-response to experience with other APIs that are large, hard to learn, and not directly supportive of the XBRL extension modules. In this case, the realization of the model, at the current stage of progress, is an API that is compact and implemented with a minimum of coding.
Investigations into Hybrid Magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) Antenna

Dielectric Resonator Antennas (DRAs) have received lots of attention in the last two decades due to several attractive characteristics such as high radiation efficiency, light weight, and low profile. There is also increasing challenges for the design of high bandwidth and multi-bands antennas which can be achieved using MHD Antennas for high speed and reconfigurable applications in wireless communication. In this work the objective is to design and develop a cylindrical MHD antenna with circular patch and two annular rings. Magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD) Antenna is a Fluid based Antenna in which the fluid resonator provides excellent coupling of RF energy into fluid. Fluid resonator volume, chemical properties, electric field and magnetic fields are the factors of resonant frequency, gain and return loss. The proposed antenna shall be tuned in the wide band of frequency range between 7.9 – 27 GHz. Simulations using HFSS and measurements have been carried out in respect of design prototype for ‘Air’ and BSTO (Barium Strontium Titanate Oxide) microwave fluid. The findings in this work that the Fluid Resonator based hybrid approach for antenna enhances the bandwidth by a large factor and annular rings with circular patch in proper geometry provides multiband operation. Variation in the volume of the fluid shifts the resonant frequency of the solid structure in the wideband. When magnetic field is applied, significant improvement has been noticed in return loss of the proposed antenna.
Histological alterations to the hamstring tendon caused by cleaning during autograft preparation

LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3b SUMMARY Introduction. This study evaluates histological alterations in the hamstring tendon caused by cleaning the muscle fibers during preparation of an autograft for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Methods. We collected semitendinosus tendons from 6 patients who underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and used a curette to scratch the tendon for cleaning. Three groups of increasing repetitions of scratching (5, 10, and 15) were compared to a control (no scratching). Histological alterations in the tendon were evaluated using the modified Bonar score. Immunohistochemical analysis was also performed for type I collagen, with measurement of the area stained for type I collagen and cell numbers in the collagen fibers. Results. The mean modified Bonar score was 0.8 in the control group, and 3.2, 5.7, and 7.2 for the 5-, 10-, and 15-repeated scratching groups, respectively. The area of type I collagen staining decreased with increasing number of scratches (P<0.05 for all groups), with a decrease of >50% in cellular density between the 5and 10-repetition groups (P=0.004). Conclusion. Cleaning the hamstring tendons by scratching caused histological alterations and damage to type I collagen. Specifically, cellular density decreased markedly on scratching 10 times, suggesting that excessive curettage, leading to >10 scratches, might be deleterious.

An Evaluation of firms' Best Strategies with the ANP, AHP and Sensitivity Test Approaches

The right decision policy for selecting a business strategy at the business development stage can maximize the benefits realized by firms. By means of the analytic network process (ANP) methodology infrastructure, and the sensitivity test, we evaluate the best alternative business strategies for one of medium-firms in the Taiwanese communications and networking industry. The findings show that the firm would be well advised to adopt the customer-driven demand to strategic project demand upon the limitation in its capability for solution designs, reliability in production management, and flexibility in financial leverage. This research and analysis can be deployed on the assessment and measurement of enterprise management and business strategy selection.
Adaptive space-time equalization for rapidly fading communication channels

A linear space-time equalizer structure is described for reverse link adaptive antenna arrays. A new algorithm is proposed for updating the equalizer weights based on the SINR cost function. Experiments complying with the up-banded IS-136 standard demonstrate that the new method is able to improve signal quality and increase network capacity in a rapidly fading, interference-dominated propagation environment. Theoretical and practical results suggest that SINR-based algorithms perform better than MSE-based algorithms such as RLS.
Cryobiopsy versus open lung biopsy in the diagnosis of interstitial lung disease (COLDICE): protocol of a multicentre study

Introduction Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) is a novel, minimally invasive technique for obtaining lung tissue for histopathological assessment in interstitial lung disease (ILD). Despite its increasing popularity, the diagnostic accuracy of TBLC is not yet known. The COLDICE Study (Cryobiopsy versus Open Lung biopsy in the Diagnosis of Interstitial lung disease allianCE) aims to evaluate the agreement between TBLC and surgical lung biopsy sampled concurrently from the same patients, for both histopathological and multidisciplinary discussion (MDD) diagnoses. Methods and analysis This comparative, multicentre, prospective trial is enrolling patients with ILD requiring surgical lung biopsy to aid with their diagnosis. Participants are consented for both video-assisted thoracoscopic surgical (VATS) biopsy and TBLC within the same anaesthetic episode. Specimens will be blindly assessed by three expert pathologists both individually and by consensus. Each tissue sample will then be considered in conjunction with clinical and radiological data, within a centralised MDD. Each patient will be presented twice in random order, once with TBLC data and once with VATS data. Meeting participants will be blinded to the method of tissue sampling. The accuracy of TBLC will be assessed by agreement with VATS at (1) histopathological analysis and (2) MDD diagnosis. Data will be collected on interobserver agreement between pathologists, interobserver agreement between MDD participants, and detailed clinical and procedural characteristics. Ethics and dissemination The study is being conducted in accordance with the International Conference on Harmonisation Guideline for Good Clinical Practice and Australian legislation for the ethical conduct of research. Trial registration number ACTRN12615000718549.
Using ANSYS for three-dimensional electrical-thermal models for radio-frequency catheter ablation

A three-dimensional finite element model was developed using ANSYS, a commercial finite element analysis software. The effect of temperature-dependent electrical and thermal conductivities to the FE model which incorporated cardiac muscle, blood, electrode and catheter body, was investigated in this study. Computer simulations were performed to calculate the temperature distribution during RF ablation. The authors compared the results of the two cases. For the first case, they used constant properties of the cardiac muscle. The ether case had varying temperature dependent properties. The maximum temperatures found in the cardiac tissue for both cases are significantly different. The lesion depth and volume were larger for the second case. However, the locations of the maximum temperature of both cases were the same. A careful examination of the heat-transfer system during RF ablation is needed.
Towards Improving Instruction Presentation for Indoor Navigation Optimierung der Anweisungsdarstellung für Indoor-Navigation

In recent years pedestrian indoor navigation gained more and more popularity. This thesis aims at improving the instruction presentation. It is evaluated how and where way instructions have to be presented in order to simplify the wayfinding task while satisfying the user’s needs at the same time. An existing user interface meeting this requirements is adopted and further extended. Concepts for different instruction presentations and specialized instruction modes are presented. The presentational concepts include a comparison of arrow or map-based instructions and the different modes help analyzing the necessary frequency of instruction updates. Three modes are realized in order to evaluate users preferences towards automatically or manually updated instructions. In the course of two user studies these mode are iteratively improved. It is found that automatically updating instructions guides users faster to the goal than doing the same manually. Further, presenting new instructions at decision-points only is sufficient especially if the navigation process is supported by a map presentation. The map alone is not found to be sufficient for an indoor navigation task but in combination with panoramic renderings of images at particular route locations it represents a promising approach for efficient indoor navigation.

Benefit of Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor-Primed Donor Lymphocyte Infusion using Cryopreserved Cells for Patients with Acute Leukemia Who Relapsed Late after Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

There is no standard therapy for relapse of acute leukemia after allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (allo-HCT). This study evaluated the efficacy of Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-CSF)-Primed Donor Lymphocyte Infusion (DLI) for patients with acute leukemia who relapsed after allo-HCT. We retrospectively reviewed 255 patients who received allo-HCT for acute leukemia/myelodysplastic syndrome. They were divided into two groups based on the CD34 + cell dose they received; patients in the lower CD34 + group received less than 6×10 6 cells/kg and those in the higher group received over 6×10 6 cells/kg. No significant differences were noted between the groups with respect to overall survival, relapse-free survival, and Graft- Versus -Host Disease (GVHD)-free/relapse-free survival. Among the 93 patients with relapse after allo-HCT, 39 patients received G-CSF-primed DLI. These 93 patients were classified into early or late relapse groups as defined by the median time to relapse. In the late relapse group, the one-year overall survival was significantly higher in the DLI group than in the non-DLI group (53.4±7.4% vs . 26.7±7.4%, p=0.039), whereas there were no differences in the early relapse group. In addition, the incidence of DLI-induced GVHD did not differ between the two groups. In conclusion, treatment with G-CSF-primed DLI after allo-HCT with a limited CD34 + cell dose is a feasible and effective option, which may replace a second HCT in late relapse patients.
Cache-Aware Virtual Page Management

With contemporary research focusing its attention primarily on benchmark-driven performance evaluation, studying fundamental memory characteristics has gone by the wayside. This thesis presents a systematic study of the expected performance characteristics for contemporary multi-core CPUs. These characteristics are the primary influence on benchmarking variability and need to be quantified if more accurate benchmark results are desired. With the aid of a new, highly customizable, micro-benchmark suite, these CPU-specific attributes are evaluated and contrasted. The benchmark tool provides the framework for accurately measuring instruction throughput and integrates hardware performance counters to gain insight into machine-level caching performance. Additionally, the Linux operating system’s impact on cache utilization is evaluated. With careful virtual memory management, cache-misses may be reduced, significantly contributing to benchmark result stability. Finally, a popular cache performance model, stack distance profile, is evaluated with respect to contemporary CPU architectures. While particularly popular in multi-core contention-aware scheduling projects, modern incarnations of the model fail to account for trends in CPU cache hardware, leading to measurable degrees of inaccuracy.
Does this count for marks? : a mixed methods analysis of teacher opinion of counting a large-scale assessment toward class grades

The objective of this research was to gain insights on teacher opinions related to the practice of counting a portion of a large-scale educational assessment (LSA) for students‟ grades. I analyzed the responses of 1,203 Grade 9 teachers who responded to a question on a Teacher Questionnaire administered as part of a grade 9 LSA of mathematics. Teacher opinions were clustered according to two dimensions (1) whether the teacher opined that counting the LSA for student marks motivated the students to take the assessment more seriously, and (2) whether the teacher comment related to characteristics of the student, student behaviours, characteristics of the test, or the value students placed on the LSA. The results were that most of the teachers (85%) opined that counting the LSA for student marks motivated students to take the test more seriously because it raised the value of the LSA for the students, and that translated into improved test preparation and/or effort on the test. When teachers opined that counting the LSA did not motivate students, or when the teachers were undecided, teacher comments tended to focus on characteristics of the students such as program (academic or applied), ability, and
ALPHA_CI: A SAS ® Macro for Computing Confidence Intervals for Coefficient Alpha

Coefficient alpha is a commonly used index of measurement reliability in the social and behavioral sciences. Although point estimates of coefficient alpha are readily computed (and are provided by the PROC CORR procedure in SAS), a variety of methods for constructing interval estimates have been suggested in the literature. This paper presents a SAS macro that calculates eight interval estimates of coefficient alpha. The macro computes coefficient alpha from a matrix of item scores provided as input, and outputs the point estimate and interval estimates in a simple table. The paper provides a demonstration of the SAS/IML code, sample output, and examples of applications in simulation studies.
Concurrent use of addictive substances among alcohol drinkers: Prevalence and problems in a Swedish general population sample

Aims: To examine concurrent use of addictive substances among alcohol drinkers in the Swedish general population and to assess to what extent this increases the risk of alcohol problems. Methods: Data were retrieved from a nationally representative survey from 2013 on use of and problems related to alcohol, tobacco, illicit drugs and non-prescribed use of analgesics and sedatives with 15,576 respondents. Alcohol users were divided into different groups on the basis of frequency of drinking overall and binge drinking. Tobacco use was measured in terms of daily use and use of illicit drugs and non-prescribed use of analgesics and sedatives were measured in terms of last 12 months prevalence. A dichotomous indicator of a DSM-IV dependence or abuse diagnosis was used. Logistic regression models were estimated to examine the relationship between various patterns of drinking in combination with other substance use and risk of alcohol abuse and/or dependence. Results: People who drink alcohol in Sweden were more likely to use other addictive substances than non-drinkers and such concurrent use becomes more common the more alcohol is consumed. Alcohol drinkers using other substances have a higher prevalence of alcohol abuse and dependence at all frequencies of drinking. Multivariate models controlling for sex, age and drinking frequency found that an elevated risk of harm remained for drinkers using addictive substances other than snuff. Conclusion: A large group of drinkers in the Swedish general population have an accumulation of risks as a result of using both alcohol and other addictive substances. Concurrent use of cigarettes, illicit drugs and non-prescribed use of analgesics and sedatives adds an independent risk of alcohol abuse/dependence in this group in addition to their drinking. The findings point at the importance of taking multiple substance-use patterns into account when combating drinking problems. Screening for concurrent use of other addictive substances could help healthcare providers to identify patients in need of treatment for alcohol problems.
