Mixed precision iterative refinement with adaptive precision sparse approximate inverse preconditioning by Noaman Khan (19810050)

“…We then analyze the conditions for the convergence of BSPAI-GMRES-IR, and determine settings under which BSPAI-GMRES-IR will produce similar backward and forward errors as the existing SPAI-GMRES-IR method, the latter of which does not use adaptive precision in preconditioning. Our numerical experiments show that this approach can potentially lead to a reduction in the cost of storing and applying sparse approximate inverse preconditioners, although a significant reduction in cost may comes at the expense of increasing the number of GMRES iterations required for convergence.…”

Spatial, temporal, and demographic patterns in prevalence of smoking tobacco use and attributable disease burden in 204 countries and territories, 1990–2019: a systematic analysis... by Marissa B Reitsma (8674341)

“…Although prevalence of smoking had decreased significantly since 1990 among both males (27·5% [26·5–28·5] reduction) and females (37·7% [35·4–39·9] reduction) aged 15 years and older, population growth has led to a significant increase in the total number of smokers from 0·99 billion (0·98–1·00) in 1990. …”

Plasma volume variations in response to high intensity interval training in obese women: The influential role of menopausal status and age by Jabbour, Georges

“…Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that age was a significant contributor to the decreases in plasma volume (PV) observed both after warm-up and following the supramaximal cycling test - SCT (r = 0.44 and r = 0.57). …”
