Yin-Yang: Programming Abstractions for Cross-Domain Multi-Acceleration.

FPGA accelerators offer performance and efficiency gains by narrowing the scope of acceleration to one algorithmic domain. However, real-life applications are often not limited to a single domain, which naturally makes -Domain -Acceleration a crucial next step. The challenge is, existing FPGA accelerators are built upon their specific vertically-specialized stacks, which prevents utilizing multiple accelerators from different domains.

Hierarchical Assessment of Mutation Properties in .

Understanding the context-dependence of spontaneous mutations is crucial to predicting evolutionary trajectories. In this experiment, the impact of genetic background and trait-type on mutational susceptibility was investigated. Mutant and non-mutant lines of six unique genotypes from two populations of were phenotypically assayed using a common-garden experiment.

Lemierre syndrome associated with 12th cranial nerve palsy--a case report and review.

Since the widespread availability and use of antibiotics the prevalence of Lemierre syndrome (L.S.) has decreased.

Descending necrotizing mediastinitis: contemporary trends in etiology, diagnosis, management, and outcome.

Objective: To evaluate contemporary trends in etiology, diagnosis, management, and outcome of descending necrotizing mediastinitis (DNM) and to draw the clinician's attention on this probably underappreciated disease.

Summary Of Background Data: An uncommon but one of the most serious forms of mediastinitis is DNM which is caused by downward spread of deep neck infections and arises as a major complication of "banal" odontogenic, pharyngeal, or cervicofacial foci. As most studies are based on small patient populations, current data on risk factors, etiology, and outcome vary significantly.
