Software-Performance-Engineering (SPE) bezeichnet verschiedene Ansätze zur Performanzverbesserung von Software. Diese wurden bisher nicht vergleichend untersucht. Der vorliegende Beitrag beschreibt ein Vorgehen, um zu überprüfen, inwiefern die SPE-Ansätze die Entstehung performanter Software sicherstellen. Trotz des Vorhandenseins der SPE-Ansätze lassen sich bspw. beim Applikationsserver Apache...

We present two English-to-Czech systems that took part in the WMT 2013 shared task: TECTOMT and PHRASEFIX. The former is a deep-syntactic transfer-based system, the latter is a more-or-less standard statistical post-editing (SPE) applied on top of TECTOMT. In a brief survey, we put SPE in context with other system combination techniques and evaluate SPE vs. another simple system combination tec...

Solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) composed of semi-crystalline poly (vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) [P(VdF-HFP)] copolymer, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethyl sulphonyl) imide [EMI-BTI] and graphene oxide (GO) was prepared and its performance evaluated. The effects of GO nano-filler were investigated in terms of enhancement in ionic conductivity along with the electrochemi...

Abnormal Savda Munziq (ASMq) is a herbal preparation used in Traditional Uighur Medicine for the treatment and prevention of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, chronic asthma and cancer. The recommended dose of this decoction for cancer patients is 500 mL administered orally three times a day. Our approach aimed at reducing the high amount of fluid intake required by fractionation of ASMq guide...

The main purpose of this work was the preliminary qualitative study of organic compounds in wastewaters of swine slaughterhouses. The samples were collected in a local abattoir and submitted to Liquid-Liquid Extraction (LLE) and Solid-phase Extraction (SPE) with XAD-4 resin as stationary phase. The instrumental analysis was performed by Gas Chromatography with Mass Spectrometer Detector (GC/MSD...

In the nematode worm C. elegans, individuals with mutations in the spe-9 gene produce spermatozoa with wild-type morphology and motility that cannot fertilize oocytes even after contact between gametes. Therefore, disruption of spe-9 function affects either gamete recognition, adhesion, signaling, and/or fusion. The spe-9 gene encodes a sperm transmembrane protein with an extracellular domain t...

Release of pro-inflammatory mediators by mast cells is a key feature of allergic disease. The 'dogma' is that IgE molecules merely sensitise mast cells by binding FcεRI prior to cross-linking by multivalent allergen, receptor aggregation and mast cell activation. However, certain monoclonal IgE antibodies have been shown to elicit mast cell activation in an antigen-independent cytokinergic mann...

We study multi-player turn-based games played on a directed graph, where the number of players and vertices can be infinite. An outcome is assigned to every play of the game. Each player has a preference relation on the set of outcomes which allows him to compare plays. We focus on the recently introduced notion of weak subgame perfect equilibrium (weak SPE). This is a variant of the classical ...

In order to reverse P-glycoprotein-mediated drug resistance in a spe cific manner, we designed two hammerhead ribozymes which can cleave the GUC sequence in codon 179 and 196 of MORI (PGYÕ)mRNA. The ribozymes were directly synthesized using a set of primers, one containing a bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase promoter. A target MDRl RNA was created by a reverse transcription polymerase chain reac...

Renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) are thought to be immunogenic, because cytokine-induced and even spontaneous tumor regression has been ob served in a significant number of patients. However, little is known about the nature of immune responses that might lead to tumor regression. We studied naturally arising human T-cell responses against RCC by com bining molecular analyses of T-cell receptor (TC...
