The Single-Chip Cloud Computer (SCC) is an experimental many-core system created for research purposes by Intel Labs. In this paper, we analyze the necessary adjustments to run a Linux kernel on a processor core of the new processor design. Starting from the Intel-provided set of Linux modifications, we present an alternative strategy for creating a SCC-compliant kernel. Our approach allows to ...

Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the quantitative strain elastography of tongue carcinoma using intraoral ultrasonography. Materials and Methods Two patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) who underwent quantitative strain elastography for the diagnosis of tongue lesions using intraoral ultrasonography were included in this prospective study. Strain elastography was performed...

Xavier Mestre introduces SPW2 (see IntroMeeting.pdf): its four activities and extensions: o 1. Coding Design for OFDM and MIMO Systems o 2. Signal Design for OFDM and MIMO System o 3. Multiuser space-time coding and processing o 4. Study of receiver schemes and channel estimation These activities of NEWCOM on these topics will be expanded in order to address: Cooperative diversity, Virtual MIMO...

As an important branch of big data processing, big graph processing is becoming increasingly popular in recent years. Strongly connected component (SCC) computation is a fundamental graph operation on directed graphs, where an SCC is a maximal subgraph S of a directed graph G in which every pair of nodes is reachable from each other in S. By contracting each SCC into a node, a large general dir...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have examined the association between ABO blood group and the risk of some malignancies. However, no prospective cohort study to date has examined the association between ABO blood group and the risk of skin cancer. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Using two large cohorts in the US, we examined ABO blood type and incidence of skin cancer, including melanoma, squamous...

With global economic development and growing international competition, supply chain collaboration (SCC) has become both an important strategic and operational issue. The organization therefore must rethink both its electronic business (e-business) and global supply chain management (SCM) strategies. This research investigates electronic supply chain (e-supply chain) integration through busines...

1alpha,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25D3) exhibits antitumor activity in a variety of cancers including squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Intrinsic resistance of SCC cells to cisplatin was observed and led to the investigation into whether 1,25D3 sensitizes SCC cells to cisplatin. Pretreatment with 1,25D3 followed by cisplatin enhanced growth inhibition in SCC cells compared with 1,25D3 alone as asse...

Somatic cell count (SCC) is an indicator of both udder health and milk quality and is measured at an animal level through national milk recording schemes. The objective of this study was to assess the animal and herd factors contributing to elevated SCC (i.e. poorer milk quality). Test day records (n = 2,658,928) from 519,456 cow lactations obtained between 2007 and 2011 were included in the an...

Different subtypes of voltage-operated calcium channels (VOCCs) are expressed in different tissues and can be distinguished by functional and pharmacological criteria. One type of high voltage-activated calcium channel, specifically recognized by the peptide neurotoxin u-conotoxin (wCTx), is expressed only in neurons. Seven different human small cell lung carcinoma (SCC) cell lines were also fo...
