A method for improving parallel processing of computer programs. DOACROSS loops and similar code are identified and parallelized using a post-wait control structure. The post-wait control structure may be implemented to include any one of a single counter to enforce an order of execution, an array to track code completion that is indexed by a modulus of a positive integer number, and/or a set of arrays to track a last code completed by a thread and a current code being executed by a thread.

Methods and systems for improving the sensitivity of a variety of conductivity sensing devices, in particular capacitively-coupled contactless conductivity detectors. A parallel inductor is added to the conductivity sensor. The sensor with the parallel inductor is operated at a resonant frequency of the equivalent circuit model. At the resonant frequency, parasitic capacitances that are either in series or in parallel with the conductance (and possibly a series resistance) is substantially removed from the equivalent circuit, leaving a purely resistive impedance. An appreciably higher sensor sensitivity results. Experimental verification shows that sensitivity improvements of the order of 10,000-fold are possible. Examples of detecting particulates with high precision by application of the apparatus and methods of operation are described.

A wound healing composition comprising an amount of heat shock protein effective to promote wound healing and a method thereof to apply the composition. A preferred heat shock protein is either full-length hsp90α or the middle domain plus the charged sequence of hsp90α. The composition is topically applied to skin wounds, covering the outer surface of the wound. The heat shock protein acts by promoting migration of both human epidermal keratinocyte and dermal fibroblasts to the wound in order to close, heal, and remodel the wound.

A wound healing composition comprising a class of polypeptide compounds having a polypeptide chain with 5 to 120 amino acid units per chain. The composition includes a pharmaceutical medium to carry the polypeptide compound, such as an aqueous solution, suspension, dispersion, salve, ointment, gel, cream, lotion, spray or paste. Additionally, a method of applying a wound healing composition comprising a class of polypeptide compounds having a polypeptide chain with 5 to 120 amino acid units per chain in a concentration of from about 1 μg/ml to about 100 μg/ml for a time sufficient to heal the wound is disclosed.

A system and method for texture-based volume rendering accelerated by contouring texture hulls is provided. Bounding geometries, such as rectangles, cuboids, or the like surrounding the non-empty regions as well as the contouring borders of the non-empty regions are found. The bounding shapes are treated as the hulls of the non-empty sub-textures. The nonempty sub-textures are stored and rendered. Texels outside the hulls are skipped.
