In recent years, a new type of material called Philippines “Dushan jade” has appeared in the gemstone market China. This material, very similar appearance and physical properties to Dushan jade, an important ancient jade with long history China, is causing confusion poses identification difficulties. Microscopy, electron probe microanalysis, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Raman...

This paper presents experimental results that characterize the performance of the integrated synchronization and consistency protocol used in the implementation of Jade, an implicitly parallel language for coarse-grain parallel computation. The consistency protocol tags each replica of shared data with a version number. The synchronization algorithm computes the correct version numbers of the r...

The vonHippel–Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor pVHL is lost in themajority of clear-cell renal cell carcinomas (RCC). Activation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway is also common in RCC, with PTEN loss occurring in approximately 30% of the cases, but other mechanisms responsible for activating AKT at a wider level in this setting are undefined. Plant homeodomain protein Jade-1 (PHF17) is a candidate ren...

Multi-agent systems (MAS) are widely acknowledged as an appropriate modelling paradigm for distributed and decentralized systems, where a (potentially large) number of agents interact in non-trivial ways. Such interactions are often modelled defining high-level interaction protocols. Open MAS typically benefit from a number of infrastructural components that enable agents to discover their peer...

AIMS To test the hypothesis that delivery of integrated care augmented by a web-based disease management programme and nurse coordinator would improve treatment target attainment and health-related behaviour. METHODS The web-based Joint Asia Diabetes Evaluation (JADE) and Diabetes Monitoring Database (DIAMOND) portals contain identical built-in protocols to integrate structured assessment, ri...

The upper-middle tibia is the mult iple growth section of benign and malignant neoplasm, which is easy to result in bone defect after tumorectomy and it is a serious problem in orthopaedics. We reported a case about a huge benign or potential malignant tumor( giant cell tumor of bone) in upper-middle tibia and contrasted the advantage between the jade prosthesis and the allograft. Initially, th...

This paper introduces the Jade File System, which provides a uniform way to name and access files in an internet environment. Jade is a logical system that integrates a heterogeneous collection of existing file systems, where by heterogeneous we mean that the underlying file systems support different file access protocols. Because of autonomy, Jade is designed under the restriction that the und...

JADE is a software framework to develop agent applications in compliance with the FIPA specifications for interoperable intelligent multi-agent systems. The goal is to simplify development while ensuring standard compliance through a comprehensive set of system services and agents. JADE can then be considered an agent middle-ware that implements an Agent Platform and a development framework. It...

JADE (Java Agent Development Framework) is a software framework to make easy the development of multi-agent applications in compliance with the FIPA specifications. JADE can then be considered a middle-ware that implements an efficient agent platform and supports the development of multi agent systems. JADE agent platform tries to keep high the performance of a distributed agent system implemen...
