Productivity is becoming increasingly important in high performance computing. Parallel systems, as well as the problems they are being used to solve, are becoming dramatically larger and more complicated. Traditional approaches to programming for these systems, such as MPI, are being regarded as too tedious and too tied to particular machines. Languages such as Unified Parallel C attempt to si...

ions for Safety of Networks of Middleboxes. We follow Velner et al. (2016) and abstract away the order of packets pending for each middlebox. Œis means that we may not be able to verify the safety of networks that rely on the order of received packets. Unfortunately, this abstraction does not suce for scalability. Œerefore, we suggest two further abstractions: (i) Abstract away correlations be...

This report documents a case of spontaneously occurring gonadal neoplasm in a crucian carp (Carassius carassius L.) caught in the wild. On the basis of the histopathological findings, the neoplasm was diagnosed as a mixed germ cell-stromal testicular neoplasia (gonadoblastoma). Teleosts generally resemble other vertebrates in their basic susceptibility to developing neoplastic lesions. A large ...

Introduction Cytokeratin (CK) 14, one of several markers expressed in normal myoepithelial/basal cells, is also expressed in a proportion of breast carcinomas. Previous studies have suggested that expression of such 'basal' markers predicts different biological behaviour, with more frequent lung and brain metastases and poorer prognosis than other carcinomas. Methods We performed CK14 immunohis...

Whereas large-scale statistical analyses can robustly identify disease-gene relationships, they do not accurately capture genotype-phenotype correlations or disease mechanisms. We use multiple lines of independent evidence to show that different variant types in a single gene, SATB1, cause clinically overlapping but distinct neurodevelopmental disorders. Clinical evaluation 42 individuals carry...

Then with the mapping we get ~ P = (P ), whi h is an abstra tion of P . By applying the mapping to ~ P , we get the problem ( (P )). Let us rst noti e that these two problems (P and ( (P ))) are related by a pre ise property, as stated by the followin...
