Computing IP networks use the TCP/IP protocol extensively for connection-oriented service access, and UDP/IP is used for best-effort connectionless data transfer. Commonly used RPC mechanisms like Java RMI, IIOP and CORBA use TCP/IP which has connection set-up and management overheads. For systems with high speed and high frequency RPC (Remote Procedure Calls), connection management overheads c...

PURPOSE Describe the Radiological Physics Center's (RPC) extensive standard dosimetry data set determined from on-site audits measurements. METHOD AND MATERIALS Measurements were made during on-site audits to institutions participating in NCI funded cooperative clinical trials for 44 years using a 0.6cc cylindrical ionization chamber placed within the RPC's water tank. Measurements were made ...

RANdom SAmple Consensus (RANSAC) is a widely adopted method for LiDAR point cloud segmentation because of its robustness to noise and outliers. However, RANSAC has a tendency to generate false segments consisting of points from several nearly coplanar surfaces. To address this problem, we formulate the weighted RANSAC approach for the purpose of point cloud segmentation. In our proposed solutio...

A Haskell library implementing the client and server functionality of XML-RPC has been developed. The library provides a simple and easy to use interface to XML-RPC, where conversion to and from XML-RPC types is done automatically. A CGI-based server implementation is provided.

Considering the majority of the power losses occur in distribution systems, it is worthwhile to investigate the use of reactive power compensation (RPC) from wind turbines installed in the distribution system for loss reduction. Therefore, this paper analyses the effectiveness of the RPC for loss reduction under different system conditions. These include power factor of the system load, X/R rat...

There is no need to show the importance of the ltering techniques to solve constraint satisfaction problems i.e. to nd values for problem variables subject to constraints that specify which combinations of values are consistent. They can be used during a preprocessing step to remove once and for all some local inconsistencies, or during the search to eeciently prune the search tree. Recently, i...

We propose the RPC chain, a simple but powerful communication primitive that allows an application to reduce the performance effects of wide-area links on enterprise and data center applications that span multiple sites. This primitive chains together multiple RPC invocations so that the computation can flow from one server to the next without involving the client every time. We demonstrate tha...

We present a high-level RPC architecture. Although RPC systems seem quite varied they actually share the same fundamental building blocks. We examine the operation of several technologies (e.g., SOAP/HTTP, RMIIIOP) to show what they have in common, namely four main blocks that we call PEPt: Presentation, Encoding, Protocol and transport. Presentation encompasses the data types and APIs availabl...

Epithelial barrier dysfunction is associated with a number of inflammatory disorders. However, the pathogenesis of epithelial barrier dysfunction is unclear. This study aims to elucidate the involvement of dicaine in airway epithelial barrier dysfunction. In the present study, an RPMI2650 (Rpc) human airway epithelial cell line was cultured, with or without dicaine, in monolayers using Transwel...

During retina development, retinal progenitor cell (RPC) proliferation and differentiation are regulated by complex inter- and intracellular interactions. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are reported to express a variety of cytokines and neurotrophic factors, which have powerful trophic and protective functions for neural tissue-derived cells. Here, we show that the expanded RPC cult...
