OSCAR (Optimally Scheduled Advanced Multiprocessor) API has been designed for real-time embedded low-power multicores to generate parallel programs for various multicores from different vendors by using the OSCAR parallelizing compiler. The OSCAR API has been developed by Waseda University in collaboration with Fujitsu Laboratory, Hitachi, NEC, Panasonic, Renesas Technology, and Toshiba in an M...

The Marine Corps Operational Stress Control and Readiness (OSCAR) program embeds mental health personnel within Marine Corps units and extends their reach by training officers and noncommissioned officers to recognize Marines showing signs of stress and intervene early. RAND Corporation researchers conducted an outcome evaluation of the OSCAR program that included four components: (1) a quasi-e...

Osteoclasts regulate homeostasis of bone development. A defect in osteoclast development results in osteopetrosis. Recently, the involvement of several molecules in osteoclast development has been found. Osteoclast-associated receptor (OSCAR) is one of such molecules critical for osteoclast differentiation. However, it remains unclear how OSCAR transduces signals for osteoclast differentiation....

The Open Source Cluster Application Resources (OSCAR) project is the founding working group of the Open Cluster Group (OCG). The OCG is an informal group of people dedicated to making cluster computing practical for high performance computing and more recently, clustering in general (high availability, diskless). OSCAR is a package that makes it easy to build clusters for high performance compu...

Introduction: Osteoclast Associated Receptor (OSCAR) is a novel member of leucocyte receptor complex (LCR)-encoded family. Mouse OSCAR (mOSCAR) has been reported to be expressed by the preosteoclast and mature osteoclast (OC) (1). A putative ligand has been reported to be expressed primarily in osteoblast/stromal cells and OSCAR mRNA was detected in OC rich tissue such as skull and long bones (...

INTRODUCTION The immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) pathway provides osteoclast co-stimulatory signals and regulates proliferation, survival and differentiation of effector immune cells. In the osteoclast, the receptors Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) and Osteoclast Associated Receptor (OSCAR) and their respective adaptor proteins, DAP12 and FcRγ medi...

The Scientific Discovery Through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) project has implemented a Scalable Systems Software (SSS) center. The SSS center is charged with building a scalable and robust operating environment for high end computing systems. Part of the approach is building a general solution for multiple platforms, to include both clusters and individual machines. This starts a trend toward s...

OSCAR is a web platform for cluster and cross-species analysis of microarray data. It provides a comprehensive but friendly environment to both users and algorithm developers. For users, OSCAR provides cluster tools for both single and multiple species data, together with interactive analysis features. For single species data, OSCAR currently provides Hierarchical Clustering, K-means, partition...

The focus of computerised learning has shifted from content delivery towards personalised online learning with Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS). Oscar Conversational ITS (CITS) is a sophisticated ITS that uses a natural language interface to enable learners to construct their own knowledge through discussion. Oscar CITS aims to mimic a human tutor by dynamically detecting and adapting to an i...

Cloud computing provides virtual resources so that end-users or organizations can buy computing power as a public utility. Cloud service providers however must strive to ensure good QoS by offering highly available services with dynamically scalable resources. HA-OSCAR is an open source High Availability (HA) solution for HPC/cloud that offers component redundancy, failure detection, and automa...
