This paper presents the Network Storage Manager (NSM) developed in the Distributed Computing Laboratory at Jackson State University. NSM is designed as a Java-based, high-performance, distributed storage system, which can be utilized in the Grid environment. NSM architecture presents a framework offering parallelism, scalability, crash recovery, and portability for data-intensive distributed ap...

Automatic question answering system plays important role in current search engines. General search engines are based on keyword based searching mechanism. It retrieves enormous amount of data from which sometime it become difficult for user to recognize relevant information. Another problem is that, users get confused if there are same words with different meaning. To solve these problems seman...

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of neurosecretory material (NSM) in Corpus Allatum (CA) of endoparasitic Pimpla turionellae L. on reproduction. For this purpose, the egg maturation of the insect and the amount of the NSM in CA of the serial section of the brain were studied. Egg maturation was determined by measuring the terminal oocyte length. In order to determine the amou...

BACKGROUND Nipple sparing mastectomy is deemed surgically and oncologically safe based on a long lasting literature data from reviews of single institution series. This study aims at evaluating surgical and oncological outcomes of NSM on a large multi-institutional scale, by means of the Italian National registry. METHODS In July 2011 a panel of Italian specialists agreed upon and designed a ...

This paper provides both a fully abstract (domain-theoretic) model for the π -calculus and a universal (set-theoretic) model for the finite π -calculus with respect to strong late bisimulation and congruence. This is done by considering categorical models, defining a metalanguage for these models, and translating the π -calculus into the metalanguage. A technical novelty of our approach is an a...

The problem of classifying text with respect to metalanguage and language object patterns is formulated and its application areas are proposed. Examples of metalanguage patterns in text are foreign language grammar lessons and tutorials on how to write engineering documents. The method targets the text classification tasks where keyword statistics is insufficient do distinguish between such abs...

In this study, a new crossover sine model (CSM) n was developed from a trigonometric model [M. E. Fisher, S. Zinn, and P. J. Upton, Phys. Rev. B 59, 14533 (1999)]. The trigonometric model is a parametric formulation model that is used to represent the thermodynamic variables near a critical point. Although there are other crossover models based on this trigonometric model, such as the CSM and t...

Most researchers now agree that subcategorization correlates significantly with semantics. But this semantic component of linking has proved elusive. Most, if not all, theories of linking have, in pratice, resorted to constructs that are syntactic diacritics. We show in this paper that the implicit syntactic diacritics that plague the basic linking constraints posited in at least some of these ...

BACKGROUND Significant immunomodulatory effects have been described as result of cigarette smoking in adults and pregnant women. However, the effect of cigarette smoking during pregnancy on the lymphocyte subpopulations in newborns has been discussed, controversially. METHODS In a prospective birth cohort, we analyzed the peripheral lymphocyte subpopulations of smoking (SM) and non-smoking mo...

INTRODUCTION: The nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) improves aesthetic results after breast reconstruction through preservation of the entire skin envelope, obviating the need for reconstruction of the nipple areola complex (NAC). NSM, however, is associated with a higher risk for occult pathology and skin necrosis, which can require resection and compromise the reconstructive outcome. In DIEP fl...
