We present an automated run-time optimisation framework that can improve the performance of distributed applications written using Java RMI whilst preserving its semantics. Java classes are modified at load-time in order to intercept RMI calls as they occur. RMI calls are not executed immediately, but are delayed for as long as possible. When a dependence forces execution of the delayed calls, ...

Dengue is a potentially fatal acute febrile illness caused by four mosquito-transmitted dengue viruses (DENV-1-4). Although dengue outbreaks regularly occur in many regions of the Pacific, little is known about dengue in the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI). To better understand dengue in RMI, we investigated an explosive outbreak that began in October 2011. Suspected cases were reported ...

Introduction: This article is part of the Focus Theme of Methods of Information in Medicine on “Biosignal Interpretation: Advanced Methods for Studying Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems”. Objectives: Detect presence of sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBD) in epochs of 1 min by signal analysis of Holter ECG recordings. Methods: In 121 patients, 140 synchronized polysomnograms (PSGs) and...

Multi-field packet classification is a crucial component in modern software-defined data center networks. To achieve high throughput and low latency, state-of-the-art algorithms strive to fit the rule lookup structures into on-die caches; however, they do not scale well with number of rules. We present novel approach, <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://ww...

RmI, a circular chimera made of the polyomavirus (Py) genome with an insertion of mouse DNA (Ins), effectively undergoes intramolecular recombination in normal mouse cells, as indicated by the conversion of cloned RmI (RmIc) into unit-length Py DNA in transfected cultures. To follow the fate of the cellular component of RmI after recombination, the origin of simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA was inser...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of unrecognized myocardial infarction (UMI) detected with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and whether it is related to cerebral ischemic lesions on MRI in an elderly population-based cohort. BACKGROUND There is a correlation between stroke and recognized myocardial infarction (RMI) and between stroke and UMI detected with...

The Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ) provides a platform for the development of real-time applications. However, the RTSJ does not take the distribution requirements of real-time applications into consideration. As distribution in Java is often implemented using Java’s Remote Method Invocation (RMI), a real-time version of RMI between RTSJ implementations can provide a platform for writi...

PURPOSE To externally validate and compare the performance of previously published diagnostic models developed to predict malignancy in adnexal masses. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We externally validated the diagnostic performance of 11 models developed by the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) group and 12 other (non-IOTA) models on 997 prospectively collected patients. The non-IOTA models ...

WorkTrak is a Workflow Management System that is developed as a research product in the Division of Computing Studies Arizona State University East. WorkTrak system is a distributed Java application with a Remote Method Invocation (RMI) Server that stores the state. The WorkTrak WorkList Handler project is a web application that is based on the server side programming paradigm. This application...

Introduction: Ovarian cancer is one of the top three deadliest in women and diagnosing this disease still leaves some challenges to overcome. Therefore, study aimed compare diagnostic accuracy Risk Malignancy Index (RMI) International Tumor Analysis (IOTA) simple rules adnexal masses. Methods: A retrospective was conducted involving 29 patients diagnosed with ovarian tumors. RMI IOTA Simple Rul...
