Mesenchymal tumors in the liver, whether primary or metastatic, are rare. Meningeal hemangiopericytoma (HPC) is characteristically associated with delayed metastasis and the liver is one of the most common sites. Despite its consistent histological features, a pathological diagnosis of HPC in the liver is sometimes not straightforward due to its rarity and usually remote medical history of the ...

Two broad methods exist for bringing scientific and high performance computing together; (i) modify the HPC environment to suit the existing skillset or (ii) develop the skillset to match the HPC environment. There has been significant development in the former area, however even the provision of the most user-friendly and modular submission tools remains challenging because HPC requires a degr...

Background: Solitary fibrous tumor / hemangiopericytoma (SFT HPC) and fibroblastic types of meningioma have similarities that is difficult to distinguish based on histology. Immunohistochemistry STAT6 SSTR2A are definitive biomarkers in both tumors. Inversion-mediated fusions between two genes, NAB2 STAT6, were detected SFT HPC inducES proliferation cells. The somatostatin receptor (SSTR) 2 loc...

PERFORMANCE CHARACTERIZATION OF HIGH PERFORMANCE CONCRETES UNDER FIRE CONDITIONS By Wasim Khaliq (Advisor: Prof. Venkatesh Kodur) Monday, April 30, 2012, 1:00 pm CEE Conference Room (EB 3546D) In recent years, high performance concretes (HPC) are finding increasing applications in buildings and infrastructure due to numerous advantages, such as higher strength and durability, these HPC offer ov...

16. Abstract Two prestressed high performance concrete (HPC) highway bridges were constructed in Texas utilizing concrete with 56 day design strengths of up to 97 MPa (14,000 psi). The utilization of HPC allowed for longer spans and larger girder spacing than typically used in conventional prestressed concrete bridges. An extensive research program was conducted to monitor the shortand long-ter...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Persistent hepatic progenitor cells (HPC) activation resulting in ductular reaction (DR) is responsible for pathologic liver repair in cholangiopathies. Also, HPC/DR expansion correlates with fibrosis in several chronic liver diseases, including steatohepatitis. Increasing evidence indicates Notch signaling as a key regulator of HPC/DR response in biliary and more in ge...

Many HPC applications suffer from a bottleneck in the shared caches, instruction execution units, I/O or memory bandwidth, even though remaining resources may be underutilized. It is hard for developers and runtime systems to ensure that all critical are fully exploited by single application, so an attractive technique increasing system utilization colocate multiple on same server. When share r...

Virtualization Technology is an interesting research topic in current cloud computing and service. Using the Virtualization Technology in cloud or cluster computing can obtain a lot of benefits, such as ability to deploy any virtual platforms rapidly, easiness to manage all precious resources, and cost reduction. In order to discover optimal performance for virtual platforms, several well-known...
