Recruitment of innate immune cells from the bone marrow (BM) to an injury site is required for effective repair. In diabetes, this process is altered, leading to excessive recruitment and retention of dysfunctional myeloid cells that fail to promote angiogenesis, prolong inflammation, and block healing. The aberrant myeloid phenotype is partially mediated by stable intrinsic changes to developi...

While most myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia cases are sporadic, rare familial cases occur and provide some insight into leukemogenesis. The most clearly defined familial cases result from inherited mutations in RUNX1 or CEBPA. Recently, novel germline mutations in GATA2 have been reported. We, therefore, investigated individuals from families with one or more first-degree relativ...

In this paper, a simple fast lossless image compression method is introduced for compressing medical images, it is based on integrates multiresolution coding along with polynomial approximation of linear based to decompose image signal followed by efficient coding. The test results indicate that the suggested method can lead to promising performance due to flexibility in overcoming the limitati...

Distributed Simulation (DS) has gained popularity for the advantages of increased computational capabilities, simulator reusability and distributed execution [1]. Factors affecting the effectiveness of the DS approach are the skills and the extra-effort that the development of a DS system requires with respect to the equivalent Local Simulation (LS) system. In the case of IEEE High Level Archit...

This paper introduces a class of linear phase lapped biorthogonal transforms with basis functions of variable length. A lattice is used to enforce both linear phase and perfect reconstruction properties as well as to provide a fast and efficient transform implementation for image coding applications. In the proposed formulation which we call fast lapped transform (FLT), the higher frequency fil...

NECO is a simple high-performance simulation framework dedicated to the evaluation of Network Coding based protocols. Its main features include (1) definition of graphs representing the topology (which can be randomly generated by NECO or given through a standard representation), (2) the modular specification of network coding protocols, (3) visualization of network operations and seamless stat...
