چکیده

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is the first and only NCIdesignated Comprehensive Cancer Center devoted solely to children. Since opening 55 years ago, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has played a pivotal role in increasing overall US pediatric cancer survival rates from 20% to 80%. St. Jude gained international attention within the first decade of its opening with groundbreaking research into acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), contributing to a staggering jump in childhood ALL survival rates from 4% in 1962 to 50% in 1972, to higher than 90% today. St. Jude has embarked on the world’s most ambitious effort to discover the origins of pediatric tumors and seek new cures. This collaborative effort, called the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital – Washington University Pediatric Cancer Genome Project, has helped pinpoint the genetic factors behind some of the toughest pediatric cancers by comparing complete genomes of cells for more than 800 patients. This genomic data is being analyzed to help guide translational research and knowledge about tumor structure, while also helping improve future clinical protocols for tumor treatments. Founded by the late entertainer Danny Thomas, St. Jude remains true to his vision by focusing on finding cures and saving children. No family ever pays St. Jude for the care their child receives. St. Jude is supported primarily by philanthropic donations. Based in Memphis, Tennessee, St. Jude freely shares its discoveries NCCN Guidelines® Insights

Mainstreaming Preservation through Slicing and Dicing of Digital Repositories: Investigating Alternative Service and Resource Options for ContextMiner Using Data Grid Technology

A digital repository can be seen as a combination of services, resources, and policies. One of the fundamental design questions for digital repositories is how to break down the services and resources: who will have responsibility, where they will reside, and how they will interact. There is no single, optimal answer to this question. The most appropriate arrangement depends on many factors tha...

Fault localization using execution slices and dataflow tests

Finding a fault in a program is a complex process which involves understanding the program's purpose, structure, semantics, and the relevant characteristics of failure producing tests. We describe a tool which supports execution slicing and dicing based on test cases. We report the results of an experiment that uses heuristic techniques in fault localization.

Scientific big data analytics challenges at large scale

In many domains such as life sciences, climate, and astrophysics, scientific data is often n-dimensional and requires tools that support specialized data types and primitives if it is to be properly stored, accessed, analyzed and visualized [5]. The n-dimensionality of scientific datasets, and their data cube abstraction, leads to a need for On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP)-like primitives ...

Semi-Automatic Fault Localization and Behavior Verification for Physical System Simulation Models

Mathematical modeling and simulation of complex physical systems are emerging as key technologies in engineering. Modern approaches to physical system simulation allow users to specify simulation models with the help of equation-based languages. Due to the highlevel declarative abstraction of these languages program errors are extremely hard to find. This paper presents an algorithmic automated...
