Matrix multiplication (MxM) is a cornerstone application for both high-performance computing and safety-critical applications. Most of the operations in convolutional neural networks for object detection, in fact, are MxM related. Chip designers are proposing novel solutions to improve the efficiency of the execution of MxM. In this article, we investigate the impact of two novel architectures for MxM (i.e., tensor cores and mixed precision) on the graphics processing units (GPUs) reliability. In addition, ...

Graphics processing units (GPUs) are playing a critical role in convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for image detection. As GPU-enabled CNNs move into safety-critical environments, reliability is becoming a growing concern. In this paper, we evaluate and propose strategies to improve the reliability of object detection algorithms, as run on three NVIDIA GPU architectures. We consider three algorithms: 1) you only look once; 2) a faster region-based CNN (Faster R-CNN); and 3) a residual network, exposing ...

Hydrogen sulphide (H(2)S) has shown to relax gastrointestinal muscle. Here in, we evaluated the effects of H(2)S donors on gastric emptying and in pyloric sphincter muscle relaxation, and whether these effects involved K(ATP) channels or TRPV1 receptors. Mice were treated with l-cysteine (alone or with propargylglycine-an inhibitor of H(2)S synthesis), NaHS, Lawesson's reagent (H(2)S donors) or saline. After 30 min, mice were gavaged with a liquid meal containing a nonabsorbable marker and then killed ...

C-type lectin DC-SIGN receptor, encoded by CD209, plays a key role in the infection of dendritic cells by dengue virus (DENV). Because the -336A/G SNP (rs4804803) polymorphism in the promoter of CD209 modulates DC-SIGN expression, we investigated the putative association of this polymorphism with DENV infection and its pathogenesis. A control sample of 72 individuals, rigorously selected through a clinical investigation for absence of past dengue fever (DF) was compared to a sample of 168 patients (156 ...

The HLAMatchmaker algorithm, which allows the identification of “safe” acceptable mismatches (AMMs) for recipients of solid organ and cell allografts, is rarely used in part due to the difficulty in using it in the current Excel format. The automation of this algorithm may universalize its use to benefit the allocation of allografts. Recently, we have developed a new software called EpHLA, which is the first computer program automating the use of the HLAMatchmaker algorithm. Herein, we present the ...

Summary Cased cemented completions have not been the preferred horizon-tal-well completion method in offshore Brazil. Lower-cost solutions such as uncemented preperforated liners were often used in completing horizontal wells offshore and are usually very effective. Often, however, low production rates mean that stimulation treatments become necessary for many wells. The use of conventional stimulation technology has generally been ineffective for these completions, which posed a challenge for the ...

An enriched environment has previously been described as enhancing natural killer cell activity of recognizing and killing virally infected cells. However, the effects of environmental enrichment on behavioral changes in relation to virus clearance and the neuropathology of encephalitis have not been studied in detail. We tested the hypothesis that environmental enrichment leads to less CNS neuroinvasion and/or more rapid viral clearance in association with T cells without neuronal damage. Stereology- ...

Due to their exceptional electrical properties, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can be applied as conductive fillers to develop self-sensing cement-based matrices. In order to obtain an adequate self-sensing response, CNTs must be evenly dispersed through the cement matrix in a volume sufficient enough to create an electric percolation network. This is challenged by the difficulty of dispersing CNTs; therefore, there is a demand for an efficient dispersing agent that can be filled by superplasticiezers, ...

The COVID-19 pandemic tested the capacity of intensive care units (ICU) to respond to a crisis and demonstrated their fragility. Unsurprisingly, higher than usual mortality rates, lengths of stay (LOS), and ICU-acquired complications occurred during the pandemic. However, worse outcomes were not universal nor constant across ICUs and significant variation in outcomes was reported, demonstrating that some ICUs could adequately manage the surge of COVID-19.In the present editorial, we discuss the concept ...

Global gas markets are changing as natural gas (NG) is replaced by biomethane. Biomethane is produced by upgrading biogas, which can have a molar concentration of methane to over 98%. This renewable energy has been injected into the pipeline networks of NG, which offers the possibility to increase its usage in industrial and residential applications. However, the expectation of the increase in biomethane proportion on the NG grids could increase the fluctuations on the composition of the NG–biomethane ...

It has been demonstrated that rat litter size affects the immune cell response, but it is not known whether the long-term effects aggravate age-related memory impairments or microglial-associated changes. To that end, we raised sedentary Wistar rats that were first suckled in small or large litters (6 or 12 pups/dam, respectively), then separated into groups of 2–3 rats from the 21st post-natal day to study end. At 4 months (young adult) or 23 months (aged), all individual rats were submitted to spatial ...
