This paper gives an overview of the ways that SAS is addressing performance through scalability in SAS Version 9. Scalability features have been implemented in many areas of SAS Version 9 to allow your applications to scale up and scale out. These include: • Multi-Process (MP) CONNECT, • the Scalable Performance Data Engine (SPDE engine), • certain SAS/ACCESS engines, • several scalable SAS pro...

The pharmaceutical industry is well known for using SAS to perform quantitative analysis for clinical research. Lately, however, competitive pressures have created opportunities in the marketing departments to use SAS for Data Mining. Applications such as sales force planning and direct marketing to doctors and consumers are employing many new SAS tools and techniques. This paper will provide a...

In an attempt to find a method to create a stable, fast, easily modified replacement for a Microsoft Access database, SAS rapidly became the only choice as a replacement tool. SAS can very quickly be adapted for uses by relative beginners in novel ways to exploit its strengths as a data extraction and manipulation tool. Using PC SAS and SAS CONNECT for ODBC a method was found to convert the mos...

Throughout the world, property taxes are commonly employed as main source of locally generated revenue. In Bangalore, collected under New SAS. When SAS was introduced in there lot transparency and payment tax made easy. However, whether owners aware SAS, perceive process similar, accept taxation policies without any differences, a study undertaken.

Centrioles are surrounded by pericentriolar material (PCM), which is proposed to promote new centriole assembly by concentrating gamma-tubulin. Here, we quantitatively monitor new centriole assembly in living Caenorhabditis elegans embryos, focusing on the conserved components SAS-4 and SAS-6. We show that SAS-4 and SAS-6 are coordinately recruited to the site of new centriole assembly and reac...

BACKGROUND Recently, sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) has been associated with hypertension, cardiovascular disease and death. Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have higher rates of SAS, atherosclerotic complications and death than do patients without CKD. Although the relationship between SAS and atherosclerosis is well known, few papers have described this relationship in humans, especiall...

The estimation or training methods in the neural network literature are usually some simple form of gradient descent algorithm suitable for implementation in hardware using massively parallel computations. For ordinary computers that are not massively parallel, optimization algorithms such as those in several SAS procedures are usually far more efficient. This talk shows how to fit neural netwo...

BACKGROUND Use of self-administered vaginal swabs (SAS) for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis by nucleic acid amplification tests simplifies specimen collection and transport, especially for women in nonclinical settings. GOAL We investigated the preference and comfort level of military women for the collection of SAS, compared with urine, for the diagnosis of genital chlamydial infectio...

A comprehensive graphical analysis approach to perform data exploration utilizing the latest capabilities available in SAS systems are presented here. This ® practical approach integrates graphical analysis tools available in SAS systems and provides step-wise instructions to perform data exploration quickly without writing SAS program statements or using menu interface by running the SAS macro...
