Background: Up to one third of early stage prostate cancer patients who underwent radical prostatectomy experienced disease progression. Different controls sampling methods applied in nested case-control studies, which searched for biomarkers that provide prognostic information and help understand disease progression mechanisms, have been adopted by researchers in different studies. Aims: Throu...

Let H = \L + V be a general Schrödinger operator on R" (v~> 1), where A is the Laplace differential operator and V is a potential function on which we assume minimal hypotheses of growth and regularity, and in particular allow V which are unbounded below. We give a general survey of the properties of e~, t > 0, and related mappings given in terms of solutions of initial value problems for the d...

Automated management seems a must, as distributed systems and datacenters continue to grow in scale and complexity. But, automation of performance problem diagnosis and tuning relies upon predictability, which in turn relies upon low variance—most automation tools aren’t effective when variance is regularly high. This paper argues that, for automation to become a reality, system builders must t...

In this paper, we present a novel framework of a webbased automated parallel CAD environment. The goal of this project is to make available to the CAD community a growing number of design and test applications that support standard interfaces and execute efficiently in a parallel environment. The design files of a user working in a remote machine are transparently shipped to the local Compute C...

About 30% of monochorionic twin pregnancies are complicated by twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), isolated discordant growth, twin anemia-polycythemia sequence, congenital defects or intrauterine demise. About 15% will be eligible for invasive fetal therapy, either fetoscopic laser treatment for TTTS or fetoscopic or ultrasound-guided umbilical cord coagulation for a severe congenital de...

Although considerable research over the years has i...

Active-databases are a budding technology where rule-based expert systems can be developed in tight integration with database management systems. This paper presents VenusIDS: an active database component of the Network Exploitation Detection Analyst Assistant (NEDAA) developed as an enhancement to the analysis layer of a two-layer distributed network intrusion detection system using the VenusD...

These papers provide a useful progress report on how the mature and successful field of memory development is transcending traditional boundaries of populations, content, context, and design. Examining children s memory for distant as well as recent occurrences, for social interactions as well as individual experiences, for meaningful as well as arbitrary information, and for emotion-laden as w...

Background: The tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib mesylate was developed as an inhibitor of the kinase activity of BCR-ABL. However, imatinib also has potent inhibitory activity against the platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR). Nilotinib is approved for treating patients with chronic myeloid leukemia showing resistance or intolerance to imatinib. Like imatinib, nilotinib selectively...
