Holocaust Survivors are at Increased Risk of Developing Schizophrenia

The results of a comprehensive study conducted at the University of Haifa have shown that Holocaust survivors are at increased risk of developing schizophrenia. Prof. Stephen Levine, who undertook the study, explains: “The exposure to protracted multiple maximal physical, social and psychological adversities of the Holocaust increased the risk of survivors developing schizophrenia.”

The impact of the Holocaust on European Jews was not confined to the physical and psychological insults and suffering that they experienced during World War II. Studies of the sequel of the Holocaust, document that survivors are at risk of emotional distress and various psychiatric disorders, such as sleeping disorders. However, until now no study has examined the effect of Holocaust exposure on the risk of developing schizophrenia.

A unique study examining the effect of Holocaust exposure on the risk of developing schizophrenia was recently undertaken by Prof. Stephen Levine, Prof. Itzhak Levav Dr. Yair Goldberg of the University of Haifa; and Ms. Inna Pugachova, Ms. Yifat Becher, and Ms. Rinat Yoffe of the Ministry of Health. The study was made possible thanks to the cooperation of the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Health. The study used comprehensive population-based data on 113,932 European Jews from nations where the Holocaust occurred. The population was split into two groups. The first group included people who immigrated to Israel before the Holocaust began in their country of origin, had relatives, friends or colleagues who were exposed to the Holocaust, and so were indirectly exposed to it. The second group comprised of people who immigrated to Israel after the end of the Second World War and were directly exposed to the Holocaust.

The study results showed that the group directly exposed to the Holocaust had a 27 percent higher chance of developing schizophrenia than the group indirectly exposed to the Holocaust. Furthermore, the group directly exposed to the Holocaust that was found to be at the highest risk of developing schizophrenia included people who were born during the Holocaust (namely were in the womb during it) and experienced it afterward. This group’s risk of developing schizophrenia was 41 percent higher than the group with indirect Holocaust exposure. Additionally, persons age over two with direct exposure to the Holocaust had a 26 percent higher chance of developing schizophrenia than those who were not directly exposed to it. According to the researchers, the probable disruption of normal neurological development in childhood increased the risk of developing schizophrenia. This would corroborate the hypothesis that neurological development in children is a critical period for subsequent development later in life.

“The study results are not entirely intuitive, as scholars, disagree as to the consequences of Holocaust exposure”, Prof. Levine explains. “Some researchers claim that Holocaust survivors were stronger and healthier. Selective mortality induced by the Nazis systematically murdered more vulnerable people, leaving the fittest to survive. This school of thought would anticipate that survivors would be at a reduced risk of developing schizophrenia. Conversely, other scholars have argued that irrespective of the fact that the strongest survived, protracted exposure to extreme trauma made Holocaust survivors vulnerable to developing schizophrenia. This study is consistent with the latter argument.”

The study was funded by the Claims Conference and the Israel Science Foundation, and appeared in the journal Psychological Medicine, published by the Cambridge University Press.

Lesson: Introduction to Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a serious mental disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. It is a chronic condition that often requires lifelong treatment. This lesson will introduce you to the basics of schizophrenia, including its symptoms, causes, and treatments.

**Section 1: What is Schizophrenia?**

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that affects about 1% of the world's population. It is characterized by a range of symptoms that can include hallucinations (hearing or seeing things that aren't there), delusions (false beliefs), disorganized thinking, and difficulty with focus and concentration. These symptoms can make it hard for someone with schizophrenia to function normally in day-to-day life.

**Section 2: Causes of Schizophrenia**

The exact cause of schizophrenia is still unknown, but researchers believe that it may be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Some possible causes include:

- Genetics: Schizophrenia tends to run in families, which suggests that there may be a genetic component to the disorder.
- Environmental factors: Exposure to certain toxins, viruses, or prenatal malnutrition may increase the risk of developing schizophrenia.
- Brain chemistry: Imbalances in certain chemicals in the brain, such as dopamine, may contribute to the development of schizophrenia.

**Section 3: Treatment for Schizophrenia**

There is no cure for schizophrenia, but there are treatments that can help manage the symptoms. These treatments may include:

- Medication: Antipsychotic medications can help control the positive symptoms (hallucinations and delusions) of schizophrenia.
- Therapy: Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and other types of talk therapy can help people with schizophrenia learn coping skills and manage their symptoms.
- Social support: Joining a support group or having a strong social network can help people with schizophrenia feel less isolated and more empowered to manage their condition.

**Section 4: Conclusion**

Schizophrenia is a serious mental disorder that can have a significant impact on a person's life. However, with proper treatment and support, many people with schizophrenia are able to lead fulfilling and productive lives. By understanding the basics of schizophrenia, you can be better equipped to support someone you know who may be living with this condition.

**Glossary**
- Hallucinations: False perceptions, such as hearing voices or seeing things that aren't there
- Delusions: False beliefs that are not based in reality
- Disorganized thinking: Difficulty organizing thoughts and making sense
- Focus and concentration: The ability to pay attention and stay on task
- Antipsychotic medications: Drugs that can help control the positive symptoms of schizophrenia
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT): A type of talk therapy that focuses on changing negative thought patterns and behaviors.

text: This month I am diving back into my sketchbook and doing some drawing. I am very wary of my drawing skills. So, as Macklemore says, I just need to put in those 10,000 hours (okay, Malcolm Gladwell probably said it first but I like Macklemore’s song).. I absolutely love the work that Crystal Moody is doing in her sketchbook. So much so that I’m going to try the same thing for the month of March. Sketching from photos or drawings in books.. The book I am working from is Collins Pocket Guide to the Sea Shore by John Barrett and G. M. Yonge.. I love beach combing, gathering rocks, shells, bits of driftwood and seaweed. I’m hopeless, I’ll come home with my pockets full of sand and treasures, like a little kid. Some of my “best selling” (and please don’t let that fool you, I’ve sold a few more of these than of others) prints are those that I’ve done of the shore. Maybe these sketches will inspire more prints.. just wonderful! xxxx

Lesson: How to Sketch from Photos or Drawings in Books
Introduction:
Sketching is an essential skill for artists, designers, and architects. It helps them visualize their ideas and communicate them effectively. In this lesson, we will learn how to sketch from photos or drawings in books. We will cover the following topics:
1. Understanding the basics of sketching
2. Choosing the right photo or drawing to sketch from
3. Creating a rough sketch
4. Adding details and refining the sketch
5. Tips for successful sketching
Understanding the Basics of Sketching:
Sketching is a quick and loose way of drawing. It is not meant to be perfect or detailed. Instead, it is meant to capture the essence of an object or idea. To create a successful sketch, you need to understand the following basics:
1. Line: A line is the foundation of any sketch. It can be thick or thin, straight or curved, but it should always be confident and clear.
2. Composition: Composition refers to the arrangement of elements within a sketch. It includes the placement of objects, the use of negative space, and the overall balance and harmony of the image.
3. Value: Value refers to the lightness or darkness of an object in a sketch. It helps to create contrast and depth, making the image more interesting and dynamic.
Choosing the Right Photo or Drawing to Sketch From:
When choosing a photo or drawing to sketch from, you should consider the following factors:
1. Subject matter: Choose a photo or drawing that interests you and has a clear subject matter. This will make it easier to focus on the details and create a compelling sketch.
2. Lighting: Look for a photo or drawing that has good lighting. This will help you see the details and shadows, which are essential for creating a realistic sketch.
3. Angle: Choose a photo or drawing that shows the object or scene from an interesting angle. This will add variety to your sketch and make it more engaging.
Creating a Rough Sketch:
Once you have chosen a photo or drawing to sketch from, you should create a rough sketch. This is a quick and loose drawing that captures the basic shapes and forms of the object or scene. To create a rough sketch, follow these steps:
1. Lightly draw the outline of the object or scene on your paper.
2. Use hatching or cross-hatching to add texture and form.
3. Use lines to suggest movement and direction.
4. Add details such as shadows and highlights to create depth and contrast.
Adding Details and Refining the Sketch:
After creating a rough sketch, you should add details and refine the image. This will help you create a more polished and professional-looking sketch. To add details and refine the sketch, follow these steps:
1. Use a pencil to add fine lines and details to the sketch.
2. Use a kneaded eraser to correct mistakes and refine the image.
3. Use a pen or ink to add final touches and enhance the sketch.
Tips for Successful Sketching:
To create a successful sketch, you should keep the following tips in mind:
1. Keep it loose: Remember that sketching is meant to be quick and loose. Don't worry about perfection or detail.
2. Use reference materials: Use reference materials such as photos or drawings to help you visualize the object or scene.
3. Practice regularly: The more you practice sketching, the better you will become. Set aside time each day to sketch and improve your skills.
Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned how to sketch from photos or drawings in books. We covered the basics of sketching, how to choose the right photo or drawing, creating a rough sketch, adding details and refining the sketch, and tips for successful sketching. By following these steps and practicing regularly, you can improve your sketching skills and create compelling and engaging images.

Lesson: How to Solve a Murder Mystery

## Section 1: Introduction

In this lesson, we will learn how to solve a murder mystery. We will start by understanding the basics of a murder investigation and then move on to more advanced techniques. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to analyze evidence, interview witnesses, and piece together a timeline to solve the mystery.

## Section 2: Understanding a Murder Investigation

A murder investigation is a process in which detectives gather evidence to identify and arrest the person responsible for a homicide. The process involves several steps, including:

1. Collecting evidence: Detectives collect physical evidence from the crime scene, such as fingerprints, DNA, and other items that may be relevant to the case.

2. Interviewing witnesses: Detectives interview witnesses who may have seen or heard something related to the crime. They ask questions to gather information and try to identify any inconsistencies in the stories they hear.

3. Analyzing evidence: Detectives analyze the evidence they collect to determine its relevance to the case. They may use forensic experts to help with this process.

4. Developing a timeline: Detectives piece together a timeline of events leading up to the murder. This helps them understand when and how the crime occurred.

5. Identifying suspects: Based on the evidence and interviews, detectives identify potential suspects and begin to build a case against them.

6. Arresting the suspect: Once enough evidence has been gathered, detectives arrest the suspect and present their case to the district attorney.

## Section 3: Advanced Techniques

Once you have a basic understanding of a murder investigation, you can move on to more advanced techniques. These include:

1. Profiling the killer: By analyzing the evidence and interviewing witnesses, detectives can create a profile of the killer. This profile can include information such as their age, gender, and motive for the crime.

2. Connecting the dots: Detectives must connect the evidence they gather to create a complete picture of what happened. This involves piecing together a timeline and identifying any patterns or connections between the evidence.

3. Using technology: In today's world, technology plays a big role in solving crimes. Forensic experts use software to analyze DNA and other evidence. Detectives also use social media and other online platforms to gather information about potential suspects.

4. Psychology: Understanding the psychology of the killer can be helpful in solving the crime. For example, if the killer left behind personal items or wrote a note, this can provide insight into their mindset and motivations.

## Section 4: Conclusion

By following these steps and using critical thinking skills, you can solve a murder mystery. Remember to always question the evidence and consider all possible outcomes before coming to a conclusion. With practice, you will become an expert at solving crimes and bringing justice to victims and their families.

Lesson: Introduction to Paper Crafting

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Paper crafting is the art of creating three-dimensional objects from flat sheets of paper. It can involve cutting, folding, and gluing to create models, sculptures, or other decorative items.

## Section 2: Practical Examples
One practical example of paper crafting is making a pop-up card. To do this, you will need a flat sheet of paper, scissors, a ruler, and glue. First, cut out several shapes from the paper, such as triangles or circles. Then, fold the paper along the edges of the shapes to create a pop-up effect. Finally, glue the shapes together to create a 3D object that stands up when the card is opened.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
Another real-world scenario for paper crafting is creating a diorama. A diorama is a three-dimensional model of a scene or setting, often used in museums or as part of a presentation. To make a diorama, you will need a box or container to hold the scene, as well as various materials such as paper, glue, and small figures or objects. You can create a diorama of any scene you like, such as a historical event or a fictional world.

## Section 4: Self-Debating Discussions
One self-debating discussion question for this lesson could be: "How can paper crafting be used to teach history or science?" This question encourages critical thinking about the potential applications of paper crafting beyond just creating decorative items.

Lesson Title: The Art of Surrealism in Animation

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will explore the concept of surrealism in animation and how it can be used to create a unique and engaging visual experience. We will analyze the film "The Night is Short, Walk on Girl" by Masaaki Yuasa and discuss the techniques he used to create a surreal atmosphere.

Section 1: What is Surrealism?
Surrealism is an art movement that emerged in the early 20th century. It is characterized by the use of dreamlike imagery, chance procedures, and irrationality to create a sense of unreality. Surrealist artists aimed to express the unconscious mind and explore the boundaries between reality and dreams.

Section 2: Techniques of Surrealism
One of the most important techniques used by surrealist artists is juxtaposition. This involves placing two or more objects or ideas together in a way that creates an unexpected or unusual relationship. Another technique is exaggeration, which involves taking something and amplifying it to create an unreal or dreamlike effect.

Section 3: Analysis of "The Night is Short, Walk on Girl"
In "The Night is Short, Walk on Girl," director Masaaki Yuasa uses several techniques to create a surreal atmosphere. For example, the film features many strange and dreamlike images, such as a giant fish flying through the air and a group of people walking on water. These images are juxtaposed with scenes of everyday life, creating an unsettling sense of unreality.

Section 4: Practical Examples
To create a surreal atmosphere in your own animations, you can try using techniques such as juxtaposition and exaggeration. For example, you could place two objects together in a way that creates an unexpected relationship, such as a person walking on a wall or a car driving up a tree. You could also amplify certain aspects of a scene to create an unreal effect, such as making a character's eyes much larger than life or distorting the background to create a sense of unease.

Section 5: Self-Debating Discussion
What other techniques can be used to create a surreal atmosphere in animation? How do you think these techniques can be applied in different types of animations, such as children's cartoons or adult dramas?

Conclusion:
In conclusion, surrealism is an art movement that can be used to create a unique and engaging visual experience in animation. By using techniques such as juxtaposition and exaggeration, animators can create a sense of unreality that can captivate audiences and leave a lasting impression. By applying these techniques in different types of animations, creators can explore new ways to tell stories and convey messages.

Purification of "inhibin" from human ovarian follicular fluid.
Following the earlier demonstration of inhibin-like activity in human ovarian follicular fluid a method for its purification to apparent homogeneity is described. The fluid was converted to acetone powder and subjected sequentially to ammonium sulphate fractionation, gel chromatography on Sephadex G-200, continuous gradient ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, first with a pH gradient from 8.0 to 4.0 and then with a NaCl gradient to 1 M at pH 5.2. The active fraction from this step was subjected to gel filtration on Sephadex G-100 and finally passed through an Amicon Centriflo membrane CF-25 (cut off point: 25,000 m.w.). The ultrafiltrate was homogeneous by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, had a molecular weight of the order of 23 000 and was capable of suppressing serum gonadotrophin levels in the castrated male rats in as low a dose as 25 microgram/rat.

Title: Purification of Inhibin from Human Ovarian Follicular Fluid

Introduction:
Inhibin is a protein that plays an important role in the regulation of the reproductive system. It is produced by the ovaries and acts on the pituitary gland to suppress the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). In this lesson, we will learn about the process of purifying inhibin from human ovarian follicular fluid.

Section 1: Background Information

Inhibin was first discovered in the 1970s by Dr. William B. Jeffs and his colleagues at the National Institutes of Health. They found that a substance in the urine of women could suppress the secretion of LH and FSH in the pituitary gland. This substance was named inhibin because it inhibited the secretion of these hormones.

Since then, inhibin has been found to have several forms, including activin A, inhibin A, inhibin B, and activin B. These forms are distinguished by their molecular weights and the types of proteins they bind to. Inhibin is produced by the ovaries in women and the testes in men. It plays an important role in regulating the menstrual cycle in women and sperm production in men.

Section 2: Purification Process

The purification process for inhibin from human ovarian follicular fluid involves several steps. First, the follicular fluid is converted to acetone powder. Then, it is subjected to ammonium sulfate fractionation, gel chromatography on Sephadex G-200, continuous gradient ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, and finally gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. The active fraction from this step is then passed through an Amicon Centriflo membrane CF-25 (cut off point: 25,000 m.w.). The ultrafiltrate is homogeneous by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, has a molecular weight of the order of 23,000, and is capable of suppressing serum gonadotrophin levels in the castrated male rats in as low a dose as 25 microgram/rat.

Section 3: Applications and Implications

The purification of inhibin from human ovarian follicular fluid has several important applications. It allows researchers to study the structure and function of inhibin in greater detail. It also enables the development of tests to measure the levels of inhibin in the blood or urine, which can help diagnose reproductive disorders.

Moreover, the purification process has implications for the pharmaceutical industry. Inhibin has potential therapeutic uses, such as in the treatment of infertility or menopausal symptoms. By purifying inhibin to homogeneity, researchers can develop more effective and targeted treatments based on the specific form of inhibin involved.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the purification of inhibin from human ovarian follicular fluid is a complex process that involves several steps. However, it is essential for understanding the structure and function of inhibin and for developing effective treatments for reproductive disorders. By studying the purification process, we can gain valuable insights into the biology of inhibin and its role in the reproductive system.

Lesson: Introduction to Poetry

Poetry is a form of literature that uses language and structure to create meaning and evoke emotions. It can be found in many cultures and has been used for centuries to express ideas, share stories, and explore human experiences. In this lesson, we will learn about the basics of poetry, including its different forms, techniques, and devices.

**Section 1: What is Poetry?**

Poetry is a type of writing that uses language in a creative way to convey meaning. It often employs metaphors, similes, and other figures of speech to make comparisons and create vivid images. Poetry can be structured or free-form, and it can take many different shapes and sizes.

**Section 2: Types of Poetry**

There are several types of poetry, each with its own unique characteristics. Here are some of the most common forms:

- **Narrative Poetry**: This type of poetry tells a story, often with a beginning, middle, and end. It may include characters, settings, and plot elements.
- **Lyric Poetry**: Lyric poetry is often more focused on the speaker's emotions and thoughts than on telling a story. It typically has a regular rhythm and rhyme scheme.
- **Haiku**: Haiku is a type of poetry that originated in Japan. It consists of three lines, with the first and third lines containing five syllables and the second line containing seven syllables.
- **Sonnet**: A sonnet is a 14-line poem that follows a specific rhyme scheme. It is often written in iambic pentameter, which means that each line contains ten syllables with a regular pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables.

**Section 3: Techniques and Devices**

Poets use various techniques and devices to enhance their writing and create meaning. Here are some common ones:

- **Metaphor**: A comparison between two things without using "like" or "as." For example, "Her smile was a ray of sunshine."
- **Simile**: A comparison between two things using "like" or "as." For example, "Her smile was as bright as the sun."
- **Personification**: Giving human qualities to non-human things. For example, "The wind whispered through the trees."
- **Alliteration**: The repetition of the same sound at the beginning of multiple words. For example, "She sells seashells by the seashore."
- **Assonance**: The repetition of vowel sounds within words. For example, "The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain."

**Section 4: Practice**

Now that you know some basics about poetry, let's try writing our own! Using the techniques and devices we learned about earlier, write a short poem about nature.

I wandered through the forest deep,
Where sunlight barely pierced the trees.
A gentle breeze did softly sweep,
Through leaves that rustled in the peace.

The birds above did sweetly sing,
Their melodies like honeyed wine.
And all around, the world did spring,
Awakening from winter's shroud divine.

In conclusion, poetry is a powerful tool for expression and exploration. By understanding its forms, techniques, and devices, we can appreciate and create works of art that resonate with us on a deeper level.


text: As part of our ongoing collaborative efforts in Structural Genomics we have identified a number of yeast gene products with no known structural homologue. One of the identified proteins, Pyridoxamine 5[unreadable]-phosphate oxidase, was expressed in E. coli, purified to homogeneity and crystallized. The initial characterization of very small crystals (~10 microns maximum dimension) at X9B showed that diffraction extends to at least 3.0E and is consistent with the hexagonal space group P3121 (or enantiomorph) (a=b=74.8, c=157.7E). The solution of this structure will particularly interesting as it promises to provide a non-conventional fold for a flavin containing protein, and is likely to represent a completely novel fold. Furthermore, this structure will be of great interest to the field of basic metabolic chemistry as this enzyme is responsible for the biosynthesis of vitamin b6 and pyridoxal-5[unreadable]-phosphate.

Lesson Title: Structural Genomics and Protein Crystallography

Introduction:
Structural genomics is the study of the three-dimensional structures of proteins in an organism's genome. It helps us understand the function of proteins and how they interact with other molecules. One way to determine the structure of a protein is by using protein crystallography. In this lesson, we will learn about protein crystallography and its importance in structural genomics.

Section 1: Protein Crystallography

Topic 1: What is protein crystallography?
Crystallography is a technique used to study the three-dimensional structure of proteins. It involves growing crystals of a protein and then analyzing the diffraction pattern produced when X-rays or electrons are passed through the crystal. This diffraction pattern can be used to determine the arrangement of atoms within the protein.

Topic 2: Why is protein crystallography important?
Understanding the structure of a protein is crucial for several reasons. First, it helps us know how the protein functions. Second, it allows us to identify potential drug targets for treating diseases. Finally, it helps us understand the evolutionary relationships between different proteins.

Topic 3: How is protein crystallography done?
Growing protein crystals is a delicate process that requires careful control of many factors, including temperature, pH, and protein concentration. Once the crystals are grown, they are soaked in a solution containing the protein of interest. The crystals are then flash-frozen and exposed to X-rays or electrons. The resulting diffraction pattern is analyzed to determine the structure of the protein.

Section 2: Examples of Protein Crystallography

Topic 1: The structure of hemoglobin
One of the most famous examples of protein crystallography is the structure of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. Its structure was first determined by Max Perutz and Sir John Kendrew in 1958. The structure revealed that hemoglobin has a horseshoe shape, which allows it to bind to oxygen molecules.

Topic 2: The structure of lysozyme
Lysozyme is an enzyme found in saliva, tears, and other bodily fluids. It helps break down bacteria by breaking open their cell walls. The structure of lysozyme was first determined by David Cherny and William Stein in 1965. The structure revealed that lysozyme has a barrel shape, which allows it to bind to and break down bacterial cell walls.

Section 3: Conclusion

In conclusion, protein crystallography is a powerful tool for understanding the structure and function of proteins. By determining the three-dimensional structure of proteins, we can gain insights into their function, identify potential drug targets, and understand the evolutionary relationships between different proteins. As more proteins are sequenced and studied, protein crystallography will continue to play an important role in advancing our understanding of biology.

text: Robust and Flexible Mapping for Real-time Distributed Applications during the Early Design Phases. The authors are interested in mapping hard real-time applications on distributed heterogeneous architectures. An application is modeled as a set of tasks, and they consider a fixed-priority preemptive scheduling policy. They target the early design phases, when decisions have a high impact on the subsequent implementation choices. However, due to a lack of information, the early design phases are characterized by uncertainties, e.g., in the worst-case execution times (wcets), or in the functionality requirements. They model uncertainties in the wcets using the \"Percentile method\".. Provided by: edaa Topic: Hardware Date Added: Jan 2012 Format: PDF

Lesson Title: Robust and Flexible Mapping for Real-time Distributed Applications during the Early Design Phases

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about mapping hard real-time applications on distributed heterogeneous architectures during the early design phases. We will cover the following topics:

1. Modeling Uncertainties in Worst-Case Execution Times (WCETs)
2. Robust and Flexible Mapping Techniques
3. Application of Robust and Flexible Mapping Techniques in Real-time Distributed Applications

Modeling Uncertainties in Worst-Case Execution Times (WCETs):

Uncertainties in the early design phases of real-time distributed applications can arise due to various reasons such as incomplete information about the system, changing requirements, or unpredictable environmental conditions. One way to model these uncertainties is using the "Percentile Method."

The Percentile Method:

The Percentile Method is a statistical technique that estimates the distribution of WCETs based on historical data. It calculates the percentile of the execution time at which a certain percentage of tasks have completed their execution. For example, if we want to calculate the 95th percentile of the WCET, it means that 95% of the tasks have completed their execution before this percentile.

Robust and Flexible Mapping Techniques:

Robust and flexible mapping techniques aim to provide efficient resource allocation while ensuring that the real-time constraints are met. These techniques can be broadly classified into two categories: static and dynamic mapping.

Static Mapping:

Static mapping involves assigning tasks to processors at design time based on the worst-case execution time (WCET) of each task. This approach provides deterministic resource allocation and guarantees that the real-time constraints will be met. However, it may not be optimal in terms of resource utilization.

Dynamic Mapping:

Dynamic mapping involves assigning tasks to processors at run-time based on their current workload and availability. This approach provides better resource utilization but may not guarantee that the real-time constraints will be met.

Application of Robust and Flexible Mapping Techniques in Real-time Distributed Applications:

Real-time distributed applications, such as video processing, medical imaging, and autonomous vehicles, require robust and flexible mapping techniques to ensure that the real-time constraints are met. Some examples of applications of these techniques are:

1. Video Processing: In video processing applications, robust and flexible mapping techniques can be used to ensure that the video stream is processed within the specified deadlines while optimizing resource utilization.

2. Medical Imaging: In medical imaging applications, robust and flexible mapping techniques can be used to ensure that the image processing tasks are completed within the specified deadlines while optimizing resource utilization.

3. Autonomous Vehicles: In autonomous vehicles, robust and flexible mapping techniques can be used to ensure that the control tasks are executed within the specified deadlines while optimizing resource utilization.

Conclusion:

In this lesson, we learned about modeling uncertainties in WCETs using the Percentile Method and robust and flexible mapping techniques for real-time distributed applications during the early design phases. We also discussed the application of these techniques in various real-time distributed applications. By understanding these techniques, we can apply them to new problems and develop more efficient and reliable real-time systems.

text: Here’s a couple of pictures of those I’ve recently added to my wardrobe. The first is a lovely red and navy scarf print shirt dress from Warehouse. It comes with a loose belt which I’ve tied at the back, and can be worn with opaque tights and boots on cooler days, as I’ve done here, or when it gets warmer I’ll simply swap the boots for my open toe wedges, sandals or flip flops.. Or a very current trend is long shirts/dresses worn over trousers – hence my second look with the bright blue M&S jeans, (their ‘Roma’ fit which fit on the natural waistline – super comfy and great for holding in tummies!), and a pattern clash shirt dress from Oasis (which I can again wear on it’s own too when it gets warmer). I love the colours in this shirt dress – I’ll be able to pair it with green, purple and yellows, which in my book means it’s earned it’s place in my wardrobe.
