01 Dec 1987TL;DR: A processor self-scheduling scheme is proposed for general parallel nested loops in multiprocessor systems to allow processors to schedule loop iterations among themselves dynamically at run time without involving the operating system.
Abstract: A processor self-scheduling scheme is proposed for general parallel nested loops in multiprocessor systems. In this scheme, programs are instrumented to allow processors to schedule loop iterations among themselves dynamically at run time without involving the operating system. The scheme has two levels. At the low level, it uses simple fetch-and-op operations to take advantage of the regular structure in the innermost parallel loop nests; at the high level, the irregular structure of the outer loops (parallel or serial) and the IF-THEN-ELSE constructs are handled by using dynamic parallel linked lists. The larger granularity or the processes at the high level easily justifies the added overhead incurred from maintaining such dynamic data structures. The use of guided self-scheduling (GSS) and shortest-delay self-scheduling (SDSS) in this scheme is analyzed. >

TL;DR: This narrative review describes the scope of healthcare sustainability research, identifies knowledge gaps, introduces a framework for applications of existing research methods and tools to the healthcare context, and establishes research priorities to improve the environmental performance of healthcare services.
Abstract: Healthcare is a major emitter of environmental pollutants that adversely affect health. Within the healthcare community, awareness of these effects is low, and recognition of the duty to address them is only beginning to gain traction. Healthcare sustainability science explores dimensions of resource consumption and environmental emissions associated with healthcare activities. This emerging field provides tools and metrics to quantify the unintended consequences of healthcare delivery and evaluate effective approaches that improve patient safety while protecting public health. This narrative review describes the scope of healthcare sustainability research, identifies knowledge gaps, introduces a framework for applications of existing research methods and tools to the healthcare context, and establishes research priorities to improve the environmental performance of healthcare services. The framework was developed through review of the current state of healthcare sustainability science and expert consensus by the Working Group for Environmental Sustainability in Clinical Care. Key recommendations include: development of a comprehensive life cycle inventory database for medical devices and drugs; application of standardized sustainability performance metrics at the clinician, hospital/health system, and national levels; revision of infection control standards driving non-evidence-based uptake of single-use disposable devices; call for increased federal research funding; and formation of a Global Commission on the Advancement of Environmental Sustainability in Healthcare. There is an urgent need for research that informs policy and practice to address the public health crisis arising from healthcare pollution. A transformational vision is required to align research priorities to achieve a sustainable healthcare system that advances quality, safety and value.

01 Jul 2001TL;DR: Some of the evidence supporting a move towards technology-based, studentcentered learning environments is presented, supporting a ‘pedagogy of learning’ as the most favorable context/style for the use of appropriate educational technologies.
Abstract: In considering those forms of teaching and learning that most favor the use of information and communication technologies, this article explores assumptions related to technology use and education;...

TL;DR: The effect of ascorbate on doxorubicin efficacy was concentration dependent; low doses were protective while high doses increased cell killing, suggesting tumoricidal concentrations may be achievable in vivo.
Abstract: Vitamin C (ascorbate) is toxic to tumour cells, and has been suggested as an adjuvant cancer treatment. Our goal was to determine if ascorbate, in combination with other antioxidants, could kill cells in the SW620 hollow fibre in vitro solid tumour model at clinically achievable concentrations. Ascorbate anti-cancer efficacy, alone or in combination with lipoic acid, vitamin K 3, phenyl ascorbate, or doxorubicin, was assessed using annexin V staining and standard survival assays. 2-day treatments with 10 mM ascorbate increased the percentage of apoptotic cells in SW620 hollow fibre tumours. Lipoic acid synergistically enhanced ascorbate cytotoxicity, reducing the 2-day LC 50 in hollow fibre tumours from 34 mM to 4 mM. Lipoic acid, unlike ascorbate, was equally effective against proliferating and non-proliferating cells. Ascorbate levels in human blood plasma were measured during and after intravenous ascorbate infusions. Infusions of 60 g produced peak plasma concentrations exceeding 20 mM with an area under the curve (24 h) of 76 mM h. Thus, tumoricidal concentrations may be achievable in vivo. Ascorbate efficacy was enhanced in an additive fashion by phenyl ascorbate or vitamin K 3. The effect of ascorbate on doxorubicin efficacy was concentration dependent; low doses were protective while high doses increased cell killing. © 2001 Cancer Research Campaign http://www.bjcancer.com
