Data processing in high-performance computing systems

The paper integrates the results of a large group of authors working in different areas that are important in the scope of big data, including but not limited to: overview of the basic solutions for the development of data centers; storage and processing; decomposition of a problem into sub-problems of lower complexity (such as applying divide and conquer algorithms); models and methods allowing broad parallelism to be realized; alternative techniques for potential acceleration; programming languages; and practical applications

13C NMR spectrum of crystalline [Rh(Acac) (CO)2]: A contribution to the discussion on [Rh(Acac) (CO)2] molecular structure in the solid state

13C MAS NMR spectrum of polycrystalline [Rh(Acac) (CO)2] (1) displays separate signals from all 7 carbon atoms: 2 doublets from CO ligand carbons along with 5 singlets from Acac carbons. GIPAW calculation of 13C shielding tensor values also revealed non-equivalence of all carbon atoms in molecule 1 in the anisotropic medium of the crystal lattice. Apparently, the C2v symmetry of molecule 1 is broken owing to the asymmetry of its contacts to the neighboring molecules. For example, the contacts O⋯HC of two CO ligands of molecule 1 to the CH group of the closest molecule in the adjacent stack are markedly different: the distances OH are 2.72 and 4.38 Å, the distances OC are 3.65 and 5.00 Å, the angles OHC are 164.9° and 126.4°

Inappropriate Drugs in Elderly Patients with Severe Cognitive Impairment: Results from the Shelter Study

It has been estimated that Nursing Home (NH) residents with impaired cognitive status receive an average of seven to eight drugs daily. The aim of this study was to determine prevalence and factors associated with use of inappropriate drugs in elderly patients with severe cognitive impairment living in NH in Europe

Capitalism and the sea: Sovereignty, territory and appropriation in the global ocean

This paper introduces the term ‘terraqueous territoriality’ to analyse a particular relationship between capitalism as a social formation, and the sea as a natural force. It focuses on three spaces – exclusive economic zones (EEZs), the system of ‘flags of convenience’ (FOC), and multilateral counter-piracy initiatives – as instances of capitalist states and firms seeking to transcend the geo-physical difference between firm land and fluid sea. Capital accumulation, it is argued here, seeks to territorialise the sea through forms of sovereignty and modes of appropriation drawn from experiences on land, but in doing so encounters particular tensions thereby generating distinctive spatial effects. By exploring the articulation between sovereignty, territory and appropriation in the organisation of spaces where land meets sea, the article seeks to demonstrate the value of an analytical framework that underlines the terraqueous nature of contemporary capitalism
