Language: Analyzing Big Data in motion M. Hirzel H. Andrade B. Gedik G. Jacques-Silva R. Khandekar V. Kumar M. Mendell H. Nasgaard S. Schneider R. Soulé K.-L. Wu The IBM Streams Processing Language (SPL) is the programming language for IBM InfoSphereA Streams, a platform for analyzing Big Data in motion. By BBig Data in motion,[ we mean continuous data streams at high data-transfer rates. InfoS...

Cathepsin D is an estrogen (17P-estradio1, E,)-inducible lysosomal protease. A putative estrogen receptor (ER)-Spl-like sequence (GGGCGG(n),&CGGG) has been identified in the,non-coding strand of the cathepsin D promoter (-199 to -165), and electromobility shift assays of nuclear extracts from MCF-7 and HeLa cells confirm that both the ER and Spl protein bind to ”P-labeled EWSpl oligo. For examp...

BACKGROUND The recording of otoacoustic emissions (OAE) enabled us to prove that the cochlea is able not only to receive sounds but also to produce acoustic energy. Through the use of distortion-product otoacoustic emission measurements, the growth of the response was seen according to the intensity of the sound stimulus presented (growth curve). OBJECTIVE to determine the thresholds for the ...

Recent studies have described a phenomenon wherein the onset of a peripheral visual stimulus elicits short-latency (<100 ms) stimulus-locked recruitment (SLR) of neck muscles in nonhuman primates (NHPs), well before any saccadic gaze shift. The SLR is thought to arise from visual responses within the intermediate layers of the superior colliculus (SCi), hence neck muscle recordings may reflect ...

Developers evolve software product lines (SPLs) manually or using typical program refactoring tools. However, when evolving an SPL to introduce new features or to improve its design, it is important to make sure that the behavior of existing products is not affected. Typical program refactorings cannot guarantee that because the SPL context goes beyond code and other kinds of core assets, and i...

Software Product Line (SPL) management is a key activity for software product line engineering. The idea behind SPL management is to focus on artifacts that are shared in order to support software reuse and adaptation. Gains are expected in terms of time to market, consistency across products, costs reduction, better flexibility, and better management of change requirements. In this context, th...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Radical prostatectomy is commonly performed for the treatment of patients with prostate cancer. Several studies have demonstrated a reduction in penile size after open radical retropubic prostatectomy. The objective of this study is to describe changes in penile length after after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP). PATIENTS AND METHODS We perform...

To determine whether neurons in the rostral raphe pallidus (RPa) specifically control the sympathetic nerve activity to brown adipose tissue (BAT SNA), thereby regulating adipocyte metabolism and BAT thermogenesis, the responses in BAT SNA to disinhibition of RPa neurons and to disinhibition of neurons in the vasomotor region of the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) were compared with those ...

Family-based (lifted) data-flow analysis for Software Product Lines (SPLs) is capable of analyzing all valid products (variants) without generating any of them explicitly. It takes as input only the common code base, which encodes all variants of a SPL, and produces analysis results corresponding to all variants. However, the computational cost of the lifted analysis still depends inherently on...
