The modern era of computing involves increasing the core count of the processor, which in turn increases the energy usage of the processor. How to identify the most energy-efficient way of running a multiple-program workload on a manycore processor while still maintaining a satisfactory performance level is always a challenge. Automatic tuning on the voltage and frequency level of a many-core p...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation of von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor (VHL) mRNA expression and jade family PHD finger 1 (Jade-1) gene expression in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Another aim of this study was to analyze the relationship of these two genes with clinicalpathological features of the RCC patients. METHODS A total of 75 RCC patients w...

Among all common vehicles of Chinese metaphors, “jade” deserves some special attention. The concept of jade has vastly appeared in various contexts of Chinese poetry and idioms. The different references often correlate with specific jaderelated characters and tend to appear in a set of jade-X combinations that are entrenched in four-word-idioms. I believe the correlations are not arbitrary. Acc...

A prompt and efficient DNA damage response (DDR) eliminates the detrimental effects of DNA lesions in eukaryotic cells. Basic and preclinical studies suggest that the DDR is one of the primary anti-cancer barriers during tumorigenesis. The DDR involves a complex network of processes that detect and repair DNA damage, in which long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), a new class of regulatory RNAs, may p...

Given the large communication overheads characteristic of modern parallel machines, optimizations that eliminate, hide or parallelize communication may improve the performance of parallel computations. This paper describes our experience automatically applying communication optimizations in the context of Jade, a portable, implicitly parallel programming language designed for exploiting task-le...
