Today's electronic products are composed of an increasingly diverse set of IC's, ranging from dedicated ASIC's, domain-specific ASSP's, platform FPGA's, to general-purpose FPGA's. With increasing integration, a mix of different fabrics on a single SoC becomes possible, combining ASIC-style standard cells, embedded FPGA's, mask-programmable sea-of-gates, and programmable processors. The panelist...

Focal adipose deficiency, such as lipoatrophy, lumpectomy or facial trauma, is a formidable challenge in reconstructive medicine, and yet scarcely investigated in experimental studies. Here, we report that Pyrintegrin (Ptn), a 2,4-disubstituted pyrimidine known to promote embryonic stem cells survival, is robustly adipogenic and induces postnatal adipose tissue formation in vivo of transplanted...

UNLABELLED Retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcomas remain a serious therapeutic problem. The aim of the study is to define the optimal treatment strategy of patients with locally recurrent or metastatic retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcomas. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective study was performed.Between 2001 and 2013, 89 patients with retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcomas were surgically treated...

although rare, synovial sarcoma is the most common malignant non-rhabdomyosarcomatous soft tissue sarcoma in children and adolescents. synovial sarcoma typically involves the soft tissues of the extremities, especially near large joints, but it can occur anywhere in the body in locations far from joint spaces. although this tumor typically affects adults in their fourth decade of life, nearly h...

in view of the rapid expansion of contact lens amongst the users, new dimensions have been added to the domain of ophthalmology: giant papillay conjunctivitis, a disease caused by different kinds of contact lens, appears weeks or months after they are used, although some patients are struck years later. the predominant symptoms are increased awareness of lenses, ocular itching, blurred vision a...

The observed antlcorrelation between diffuse soft X-ray flux and H I column density has been explained as absorption of soft X-rays produced in a hot galactic halo, assuming that the neutral interstellar material is sufficiently clumped to reduce the soft X-ray absorption cross section by a factor of two to three. We have extended a 21 cm emission line study of H I column density variations at ...

Margin-based classifiers have been popular in both machine learning and statistics for classification problems. Among numerous classifiers, some are hard classifiers while some are soft ones. Soft classifiers explicitly estimate the class conditional probabilities and then perform classification based on estimated probabilities. In contrast, hard classifiers directly target on the classificatio...

This paper examines whether the “soft” information contained in the text of management’s quarterly earnings press releases is incrementally informative over the company’s reported “hard” earnings news. We use Diction, a textual-analysis program, to extract various dimensions of managerial net optimism from more than 20,000 corporate earnings announcements over the period 1998 to 2006 and docume...
