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

“…This approach is also applicable to the application of inexact preconditioners, such as sparse approximate inverse preconditioners used in Krylov subspace methods. In this work, we develop an adaptive precision sparse approximate inverse preconditioner and demonstrate its use within a five-precision GMRES-based iterative refinement method. …”

Total and segmental liver volume variations by Abdalla, Eddie

“…Liver volume is measured with CT before living-donor liver transplantation or major hepatic resection in patients with and without chronic liver disease.3., 4., 5., 6., 7., 8., 9. and 10. This reproducible, noninvasive procedure is necessary because significant interpatient variation is believed to exist in the relative contributions of the hepatic segments to TLV.11 CT volumetry accurately predicts TLV on the basis of body surface area or body weight,12 which may achieve the true goal of preoperative CT volumetry of the liver, that is to estimate the individual patient's hepatic metabolic demands after resection or transplantation.7 Complications associated with technical aspects of liver surgery are decreasing, and focus has concurrently shifted to analysis of postoperative complications after major hepatic resection and liver transplantation on the basis of liver remnant volume and graft volume.3., 4., 6., 7., 8. and 13. …”
