The optimization and parallelization of array language programs

An array language embodies a rich set of array primitives and can provide an effective paradigm for developing portable parallel programs. This portable paradigm cannot be effective, however, unless compilers generate efficient codes for both single array operators and combinations of array operators. The optimization and parallelization schemes presented here make use of the semantic information of array primitives to reduce storage usage and synchronization overhead. These techniques enable a compiler to generate a more efficient code. Five techniques are developed and presented which improve the performance of array language programs at different levels. They are dynamic processor allocation, primitive fusion, primitive synthesis, statement merge, and inter-statement fusion. The dynamic processor allocation, an intra-primitive optimization scheme, estimates the number of processors for the optimal performance of a primitive at run time. Primitive fusion and primitive synthesis both optimize programs at the inter-primitive level. Primitive fusion aggressively fuses the translated loops of the same and different types of primitives. Primitive synthesis combines each of the data access patterns of multiple consecutive array functions into a single direct access to the source operand. Statement merge performs an inter-statement optimization to merge two statements through a def-use chain of a program variable for further inter-primitive optimizations. Inter-statement fusion generates a combined loop for statements with the same loop size. Experimental results on a Sequent Symmetry machine verify the benefits obtained by using each of the five techniques. The experimental results also show that the performance of array language programs can be effectively improved by using each of these optimizations separately or together. Five representative LINPACK routines achieve a two fold speedup by employing these optimizations. The enhancements of other interesting large scientific applications vary between a 1.7 and a 3.9 fold speedup. These techniques are applicable to compilers designed for Fortran 90, APL, and any other programming language that incorporates array primitives, such as C*.

CBIR BASED ON LEARNING OF NEURAL NETWORK WITH FEEDBACK RELEVANCE

To achieve the knowledge and information from web there must be use of retrieval of images from web databases because of effective information in images . For more effective and efficient image retrieval, learning is most important. Learning is also most important concept for feedback method to any data mining task. Using the retrieval pattern-based learning is the most effective that aim to establish the relationship between the current and previous query sessions by analyzing retrieval patterns. User’s feedback is utilized for updating the high level semantic features of query image and each database image. We propose a new feedback based and content based image retrieval system using neural network based pattern
The Relation Between Fecal Calprotectin and the Rate of Clinical Activity of Ulcerative Colitis

Abstract Background: Inﬂammatory bowel disease is a disorder with unknown origin in which environment, genetics, and immunity play a part. Although colonoscopy and biopsy are expensive and invasive, are used to monitoring the mucosal inﬂammation. Fecal calprotectin is a non-invasive test which has attracted a lot of attention. We aimed to determine the relation of fecal calprotectin and clinical activity of ulcerative colitis. Methods: This cross-sectional study took place with the conﬁrmation of ethics committee of Mashhad University of Medical Sci- ences in 2014 - 2015. Patients with diagnosis of ulcerative colitis were included; demographic information was recorded and clinical activity of disease was evaluated. Fecal calprotectin was measured by the quantitative ELISA method and results of laboratory studies and clinical examinations were analyzed by SPSS software version 16. Level of signiﬁcance was considered less than 0.05. Results: Seventy patients were studied (male = 56%, average age = 38  15). 25 patients (36.2%) were newly diagnosed. The average period of disease was 4.1 ± 5 years. 25 individuals (35.7%) had mild, 19 individuals (27.1%) had moderate, and 26 individuals (37.1%) had severe disease. Averages of fecal calprotectin in mild, moderate, and severe disease were 132  111, 119  44 and 141  78 g/ g, respectively. Averages of fecal calprotectin in mild and moderate disease (P = 0.874), in mild and severe (P = 0.925) and in moderate and severe disease (P = 0.662) were not signiﬁcantly diﬀerent. Conclusions: Although fecal calprotectin in severe ulcerative colitis is higher, it has no relation with disease clinical activity.
Phytopharmacy - An evidence-based guide to herbal medicinal products

© 2015 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. All rights reserved. Healthcare professionals, including doctors, pharmacists and nurses, are often confronted with patients who use over-the-counter (OTC) herbal medicinal products and food supplements. While taking responsibility for one's own health and treatment options is encouraged, many patients use these products based on limited (and sometimes inaccurate) information from non-scientific sources, such as the popular press and internet. There is a clear need to offer balanced, well-informed advice to patients, yet a number of studies have shown that, generally, conventionally trained health practitioners consider their knowledge about herbal medicinal products and supplements to be weak. Phytopharmacy fills this knowledge gap, and is intended for use by the busy pharmacist, nurse, or doctor, as well as the 'expert patient' and students of pharmacy and herbal medicine. It presents clear, practical and concise monographs on over a hundred popular herbal medicines and plant-based food supplements. Information provided in each monograph includes: Indications; Summary and appraisal of clinical and pre-clinical evidence; Potential interactions; Contraindications; Possible adverse effects. An overview of the current regulatory framework is also outlined, notably the EU Traditional Herbal Medicinal Products Directive. This stipulates that only licensed products or registered traditional herbal medicinal products (THRs), which have assured quality and safety, can now legally be sold OTC. Monographs are included of most of the major herbal ingredients found in THRs, and also some plant-based food supplements, which while not strictly medicines, may also have the potential to exert a physiological effect.
Endophytic Fungal Diversity on Different Aged Bark of Medicinal Taxus Plant Species

The present study investigated the endophytic biodiversity on different aged Taxus bark using highthroughput sequencing. Fungi from the five Taxus species, including Taxus yunnanensis, T. media, T. chinensis, and two unidentified Taxus species I and II, were identified by Internal Transcribed Spacer sequence analysis. The operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were 141, 114, 98, 67 and 36, respectively, while the genera numbers were 22, 14, 16, 9 and 10 from the species distribution data, respectively. The dominant fungal genera were Mycena (94.33%), Phageophora (43.97%) and Paraconiothyrium (34.02%), followed by Pestalotiopsis (1.58%) and Strelitziana (1.15%). Rankabundance curve and diversity index suggested that the major species from the bark of T. yunnanensis (YN) was endophytic fungi, whereas fungal species from the bark of unidentified Taxus species II (HDS 50) were quite rare. Furthermore, tree age notably influenced the bark endophytic fungal biodiversity.
Nutritional value changes in response to temperature, microalgae mono and mixed cultures

Abstract Aim The response of mixed cultures and monocultures of Pseudopediastrum boryanum (Turpin) E. Hegewald and Scenedesmus obliquus (Turpin) Kützing was assessed in the laboratory at three different temperatures: 20, 30 and 40 °C. The change in biomass and biochemical composition of these cultures was evaluated. Methods Microalgae were placed in a batch culture over 21-days in ASM1 medium. Cell density was directly counted every two days using a Fuchs-Rosenthal hemocytometer. Chlorophyll ‘a’ and total carotenoids were extracted twice. Protein, carbohydrate, total lipid and fatty acid contents were determined at the end of the experiment. Results Cultures grown in 40 °C exhibited no growth. However, there was increased cell density (13.6 x 106 cell.mL-1) and biomass (55 g.L-1) in the S. obliquus monoculture at 30 °C. High protein concentrations (672.6 mg.g-1) were observed in monocultures P. boryanum and S. obliquus at 20 °C treatments. There were high carbohydrate concentrations (6.17 mg.g-1) in P. boryanum unialgal at 30 °C. There was no significant difference in total lipid content between S. obliquus (95.5 mg.g-1), P. boryanum (96.3 mg.g-1) and the mixed culture at 20 °C (105.3 mg.g-1). FAMEs varied significantly regarding the number of unsaturated components, which predominantly consisted of fatty acids with two or more unsaturated bonds. Conclusions The biomass of the treatments analyzed was rich in proteins and essential fatty acids (such as linolenic acid), yet low in carbohydrate content, suggesting its potential use as a food supplement. Our results indicate that mixed culture of P. boryanum and S. obliquus was inefficient in cultivating biomass or biochemical compounds as compared to the unialgal cultivations. However, algae grown together showed better stability in their biochemical composition in response to changes in temperature, an important factor for microalgae production in open ponds and in food safety measures. These results suggest the consortia among different species of microalgae should be tested to determine better methodologies for the production of biomass and metabolites with greater stability towards environmental factors.
Optimism as moderator of fatigue and quality of life of patients with breast and gynaecological cancer under and after oncological treatment

Introduction: The purpose of our research is to evaluate the impact of optimism on cancer-related fatigue and quality of life of patients with breast and gynaecological cancer. Material and method: Three groups of patients (each of 50 women) with breast, uterus and cervical cancer were examined. They were 20 to 60 years old. They didn’t undergo for psychic disease before oncological treatment. The examined women filled 3 questionnaires: BFI (fatigue), QLQ-C30 (quality of life), LOT-R (optimism). Results: The optimism of patients under oncological treatment diminishes their cancer-related fatigue and somatic side effects of treatment but doesn’t influence their psychosocial activities. The optimism of patients after oncological treatment improves their emotional, cognitive and social functioning and diminishes their somatic side effects of treatment. Conclusions: The results of our research indicate dynamically chanching role of patients’ optimism. On one side this role depends on the stage of patients’ oncological treatment (early stage vs. finish). On the other side its role depends on patients’ functionning – body, mind or emotions.

THE SPREAD OF TUBERCULOSIS BY COUGHING.

The general opinion held by the medical profession at large has been that tuberculosis is disseminated chiefly by sputum, pus from tuberculous ulcers and sinuses, and from the dejecta of the bowel in persons or in animals suffering from tuberculous enteritis; these substances, from whatever source, becoming dry and later pulverized; they, together with their tubercle bacilli, are carried about by the currents of air. Such dust is commonly agitated by sweeping and dusting of carpets, rugs and furniture in rooms previously occupied by tuberculous patients. Indeed, the investigations of Cornet1go far to corroborate this popular belief. Cornet showed that dried sputum—dust—remained dangerous for months. He collected dust from the floors; walls and furniture of rooms previously occupied by persons suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis in various prisons, hospitals, asylums, and private dwellings, and, inoculating animals with such dusts, he determined the presence of virulent tubercle bacilli.

Study and Comparative Analysis of Fast Motion Estimation Algorithms for Video Compression

One of the important subject in video coding standards such as MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and ITU-T H.263 is motion estimation algorithm. Fast Full Search (FS) Algorithm is used to estimate the motion of pixels between set of two image blocks in these international standards. In FS Algorithm the process is very time consuming because computation and distortion function need to be find many time for each target block. To reduce this time we give a modified search algorithm, Extended Orthogonal Search Algorithm (EOSA) have been implemented. The performance of the algorithms are evaluated by using standard 288 x 352 pixels common intermediate format (CIF) caltrain, missa video sequences and the results are compared to the traditional well-known FS algorithm and a widely used fast search algorithm called the Three Step Search (TSS), The fast search algorithms are known as sub-optimal algorithms as they test only some of the candidate blocks from the search area and choose a match from a subset of blocks. These algorithms can reduce the computational complexity as they do not examine all candidate blocks and hence are algorithmically faster. However, the quality is generally not as good as that of the FS algorithms but can be acceptable in terms of subjective quality. The important metrics, Number of Search Points and Peak Signal to Noise Ratio are used to evaluate the algorithm. The results show that the strength of the algorithms i.e. speed of operations is much faster than the FS and TSS. The performance of the algorithm is better than the other exiting algorithm namely FS Algorithm and TSS Algorithm. And results also show that there is no more difference between the Peak Signal to Noise Ratio of different algorithm.
Breaking seed dormancy in Philenoptera violacea (Klotzsch) Schrire using different pre-sowing treatment methods

Seeds of many woody plant species cannot germinate even if they are sown under optimal moisture, oxygen and soil conditions because of hard seed coat dormancy. A seed germination experiment to evaluate the suitability of various dormancy breaking methods in Philenoptera violacea seeds was conducted in the laboratory of the Department of Crop Science and Production, Botswana University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (BUAN) between November and December 2017. A completely randomized design (CRD) with 10 treatments, involving; control (untreated seeds), mechanical scarification, hot water (24 hours), boiling water (1, 3 and 5 minutes) and concentrated sulphuric acid (15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes) was used. Germination percentage, germination mean time (GMT) and germination index (GI) were significantly (P <0.01) affected by seed dormancy breaking methods. The highest germination percentages were recorded in seeds immersed in concentrated sulphuric acid for 15 and 30 minutes (100%), followed by concentrated sulphuric acid 45 minutes and hot water for 24 hours (99%), mechanical scarification (98%) and concentrated sulphuric acid for 60 minutes (97%), which were significantly higher than the rest, boiling water being the least. Untreated seeds took the longest time (20.50 days) for 86% of the seeds to germinate whereas the shortest significant GMT (2.23-2.66 days) was recorded for maximum germinations (100%). Boiling water (1, 3 and 5 minutes) revealed significantly lower GI (0.00-0.02). Although, 86% of untreated seeds germinated, the present findings emphasize the importance of treating P. violacea seeds before sowing to promote quick and uniform germination.

Étude de l’effet des médicaments antiplaquettaires sur la fonction plaquettaire : de la variabilité de réponse à l’effet rebond

By inhibiting the formation of blood clots, antiplatelet drugs significantly reduce the risk of acute ischemic events. However, a subpopulation of patients suffering from coronary artery disease presents with an inadequate inhibition of platelet function despite taking acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) daily. The first part of this thesis demonstrates that accelerated platelet turnover could partly explain the variability in the persistence of the antiplatelet effect of ASA in some coronary artery disease patients. These results suggest that increasing the frequency of administration of ASA from once to twice daily may be beneficial in selected patients. Meta-analyses have suggested that an inadequate platelet response to ASA may increase the risk of recurrent ischemic events. The retrospective nature of these analyses forbids the inference of causality. In the second part of this thesis, the results of a prospective study comparing the clinical relevance of 6 platelet function tests commonly used to assess platelet response to ASA are presented. The results show that none of the commonly used platelet function tests predict the occurrence of acute ischemic events in stable coronary artery disease patients. However, discontinuation of ASA is an important predictor of thrombotic events. Discontinuation of antiplatelet drugs has often been associated with thrombotic events in the days following cessation. If the occurrence of these events is due solely to the withdrawal of a protective drug or rather platelet sensitization is a topic of some debate. In the third part of this thesis, data are presented demonstrating that clopidogrel discontinuation, after the period recommended by current guidelines, leads to sensitization of newly formed platelets to physiological platelet stimuli. These results encourage research on different ways to mitigate the increased risk of thrombosis in coronary artery disease patients scheduled to discontinue clopidogrel therapy.
Journal of Complementary and Integrative Medicine In Vitro Antioxidant and In Vivo Antihyperglycemic Potential of Mimusops elengi L . in Alloxan-Induced Diabetes in Mice

Mimusops elengi, commonly called 'Bakul' is a medicinally important plant of family sapotaceae. All parts of the tree have medicinal properties. Sushrut Samhita in the Chikitsa chapter explains the treatment strategies for the diabetes. Mimusops elengi (ME) is endowed with the antidiabetic potential. The present study was aimed to evaluate the in vitro antioxidant and antihyperglycemic property of ME. Aqueous extract of ME (MEAQE) exhibited reducing power as well as DPPH and OH radical scavenging activity in vitro. It can be concluded from above observation that the onset of action of antihyperglycemic activity of MEAQE is at the 2nd hr and duration of action is before the 24th hr. in alloxan-induced diabetes. MEAQE may act by increasing peripheral utilization of glucose. Taking into consideration the traditional claim of ME as an antidiabetic agent and the results suggesting the in vitro antioxidant, radical scavenging activity and in vivo antihyperglycemic activity, it can be concluded that ME exhibited potential to treat diabetes and should be further explored against diabetes and related complications.
Big Data Analysis and its Comparison with RDBMS

Today the term big data draws a lot of attention. Big Data is a new frontier in IT where data sets are becoming enormous that they are almost impossible to manage using traditional database management tools. Data types and content are getting more complicated; volume is going up and serious. Big Data includes structured and unstructured data coming from tweets, social networking sites etc. Traditional systems, and the data management techniques associated withthem, have failed to scale to Big Data. NoSQL act as a paradigm shift for Big Data. Various characteristics of big data and Lambda Architecture for handling the big data are discussed.
