I present two novel thread-safe in-place streaming schemes for the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) on graphics processing units (GPUs), termed Esoteric Pull and Push, that result in LBM only requiring one copy of density distribution functions (DDFs) instead two, greatly reducing memory demand. These build upon idea existing Twist scheme, to stream half DDFs at end stream-collide kernel remainin...

Silicon technologies for HF applications have been proven more than two decades, and greatly evolved. Whether CMOS or BiCMOS technologies, the unique combination of radio frequency, baseband, digital functions allow a very high level integration. While it is possible to achieve fully integrated transceivers, major advantages these silicon lie mainly in their unparalleled performance field frequ...

By numerically solving the nonlinear Schrodinger equation, we analyze pulse propagation through dispersion decreasing optical fibers (DDFs) in which the core radius varies along the length of the fiber; this in turn leads to a variation of dispersion as well as mode effective area along the length of the fiber. We calculate an optimum core radius profile required to create a local balance betwe...

This paper describes the architecture and the IC implementation of a direct digital frequency synthesizer (DDFS) that is based on an angle rotation algorithm (similar to CORDIC). It is shown that the architecture can be implemented as a multiplierless, feedforward, and easily pipelineable datapath. A prototype IC has been designed, fabricated in 1.0m CMOS, and tested. The IC produces 16-b sine ...

Delay-Differential Equations (DDEs) are the most common representation for systems with delay. However, DDE is limited. In network models delay, delayed channels low-dimensional and accounting this heterogeneity not possible in framework. addition, DDEs cannot be used to model difference equations. Furthermore, estimation control of format has proven challenging, despite decades study. paper, w...

INTRODUCTION Our study investigates whether an approximation of breast cancer molecular subtypes using the hormone receptors and HER-2 status prognosticates for disease control after breast conservation therapy (BCT) in node-negative Asian breast cancer patients. METHODS AND MATERIALS We retrospectively reviewed 541 women with node-negative breast cancers treated with BCT between 1989 and 200...

BACKGROUND Although tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) have been associated with a favorable prognosis in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients, this marker is not currently considered robust enough for entering the clinical practice. In the present study, we assessed the clinical validity of the guidelines recently issued by the International TIL Working Group in a large retrospecti...

PURPOSE The association between PIK3CA mutations and response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in women with primary breast cancer is not fully elucidated. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN PIK3CA mutations in breast cancer tissues that were taken prior to the initiation of neoadjuvant chemotherapy were identified in 729 operable primary breast cancer patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Among these,...

Background Neoadjuvant endocrine therapy (NET) has been demonstrated to improve breast-conserving rate and is a widely accepted treatment option for postmenopausal patients with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. There are few reports on the association of NET response and long-term outcomes. Objectives To investigate the prognostic value of clinical response to NET. Methods Long-term...
