Here we determine if use of additional collection devices enhance the diagnostic utility of the SurePath Pap for gynecologic cytology. METHODS: After informed consent, 37 women ages 18-56 receiving their routine cervi...

The current study compared the cytologic detection rates of the liquid-based Pap smear with convent...
متن کاملBroom: Sweeping Out Garbage Collection from Big Data Systems

However, high object churn and large heap sizes put severe strain on the garbage collector. As a result, applications underperform significantly: GC increases the runtime of typical data processing tasks by up to 40%. We propose to use ...
