Analysis of A Splitting Approach for the Parallel Solution of Linear Systems on GPU Cards [PDF]
We discuss an approach for solving sparse or dense banded linear systems ${\bf A} {\bf x} = {\bf b}$ on a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) card. The matrix ${\bf A} \in {\mathbb{R}}^{N \times N}$ is possibly nonsymmetric and moderately large; i.e., $10000 \

Rapid communications M u m p s in Ir e l a n d, 2004-2008 [PDF]
Following a national mumps outbreak that began in November 2004 and continued into 2005, the number of mumps notifications in Ireland waned in the latter half of 2006 and during 2007 (Figure 1). However, mumps notifications have started to increase again

Mumps and rubella surveillance in Victoria, 1993 to 2000 [PDF]
Despite improving childhood coverage of the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine (MMR) in Victoria during the 1990s, mumps and rubella notifications in age groups eligible for vaccination persisted.
