A GENERIC SIMULATION CELL METHOD FOR DEVELOPING EXTENSIBLE, EFFICIENT AND READABLE PARALLEL COMPUTATIONAL MODELS

A generic simulation cell method for developing extensible, efficient and readable parallel computational models

I present a method for developing extensible and modular computational models without sacrificing serial or parallel performance or source code readability.By using a generic simulation cell method I show that it is possible to combine several distinct computational models to run in the same computational grid without requiring modification Clothin

Welfare assessment traits, milk quantity and quality, and profitability of Anatolian buffalo cows confined in closed-tied or semi-open free-stall barns can be affected by supplementary feeding at milking

Objective This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of offering (OSF) or not (NSF) supplemental feed at milking on temperament (TS), udder hygiene (UHS) and body condition (BCS) scores, and milk yield per milking (MYM), milk quality traits, and profitability of primiparous Anatolian buffalo cows at 90 days of lactation confined in closed-tied

Foot-and-mouth disease dynamics in multi-species livestock systems at the interface of African protected areas

Abstract Many pathogens have the capacity to infect multiple hosts.Multi-species epidemiological systems are characterized by populations that interact and perform different functions in pathogen transmission and maintenance.This study investigated the epidemiological dynamics of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) virus in cattle and goats and their resp

Treatment of chronic hemodialysis patients with low-dose fenofibrate effectively reduces plasma lipids and affects plasma redox status

Abstract Dyslipidemia is common in chronic hemodialysis patients and its underlying mechanism is complex.Hemodialysis causes an imbalance between antioxidants and production of reactive oxygen species, which induces the oxidative stress and thereby may lead to accelerated atherosclerosis.Statins have been found to be little HEADLAMPS effective in e
