We aimed to find some specific pathways that can be used to predict the stage of lung adenocarcinoma.RNA-Seq expression profile data and clinical data of lung adenocarcinoma (stage I [37], stage II 161], stage III [75], and stage IV [45]) were obtained from the TCGA dataset. The differentially expressed genes were merged, correlation coefficient matrix between genes was constructed with correla...

Skeletal muscle biopsies harvested from asymptomatic patients affected with early stage colorectal cancer present centralized and central myonuclei, a feature that may be indicative of tumor associated muscle disorders, potentially leading to cachexia.. Biopsy of the rectus abdominis muscle were harvested during elective laparoscopic tumor resection, before any chemotherapeutic treatment., thus...

The more important web searching becomes, the more we have to focus on the “same name” problem in web searches. In this paper, we report our algorithm for disambiguating person names in web search results. It is a document clustering algorithm based on hierarchical agglomerative clustering using named entities, compound keywords, and URLs as features for document similarity calculation. We prop...

By using hierarchical table-lookup vector quantization (HTVQ) to quantize the large dimensional input vectors successively in stages, combined with any convenient VQ design algorithm for the last stage quantization , the encoder-decoder system can be designed symmetrically, implemented mainly by table-lookups, no extra arithmetic computation, which is amenable to efficient software and hardware...

The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the relationship between three entities: hierarchical organization , information management and human collaboration. This relationship is composed of two parts: the first part is the relationship between the hierarchical organization and information management where the role of the hierarchical organization to facilitate the information management proce...

We propose an optimal, two-stage procedure for the optimal design of minimum cost hierarchical spanning networks, consisting of a main path and secondary trees. The optimal location of the origin and destination nodes of the path is also found. We test our procedure and compare it with a known method. c © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Nanospheres with an internal bicontinuous structure were obtained through hierarchical self-assembly of a dendritic block terpolymer in selective solvents. The self-assembly underwent a unique three stage process involving unimolecular micelle formation, multimicelle aggregation and microphase separation within a self-confined space. Reversible phase inversion of the nanospheres in response to ...

A hierarchical pruned tree-structured vector quantizer (PTSVQ) employing multi-stage PTSVQ's is introduced to encode image wavelet coeecients. The result is a low-complexity and scalable image coding system. The eeects of non-square selection of the block sizes and normalization on the performance of the system are investigated.

A new class of measurement operators, coined hierarchical and prove results guaranteeing the efficient, stable robust recovery hierarchically structured signals from such measurements. We derive bounds on their restricted isometry properties based constants constituent matrices, generalizing extending prior work Kronecker-product As an exemplary application, we apply theory to two communication...
