BACKGROUND Solitary fibrous tumor's (SFT) demographic features, clinicopathologic characteristics, treatment outcome and disease-specific prognostic factors were unexplored comprehensively. METHODS SEER program was used to identify patients diagnosed with SFT from 1973 to 2012. Overall collected data were analyzed by using the SPSS 18.0.

This paper describes the use of the Floating Potential Probe (FPP) as an “Attached Payload” on ISS. Background and motivation for building the FPP and well as detailed descriptions of its subsystems are described in another paper published in these proceedings (ref # SSC01-V-4b). With it’s solar arrays, primary/secondary power system, control/data processor unit, RF command/data link, thermal p...

Operational software like online transaction processing systems still take the lion’s share of business information systems. Though many Decision Support Systems (DSS) were developed, they failed to become mainstream products. The reason is lack of knowledge of availability, applicability, and interoperability. In this paper, we propose to exploit the vast resource of the Internet to give DSS a...

BACKGROUND Randomized control trials from the developed world report that clinical decision support systems (DSS) could provide an effective means to improve the management of hypertension (HTN). However, evidence from developing countries in this regard is rather limited, and there is a need to assess the impact of a clinical DSS on managing HTN in primary health care center (PHC) settings. ...

The deterministic block distribution method proposed for RAID systems (known as striping) has been a traditional solution for achieving high performance, increased capacity and redundancy all the while allowing the system to be managed as if it were a single device. However, this distribution method requires one to completely change the data layout when adding new storage subsystems, which is a...
