The status and role of immunocytes and dendritic cells in regional lymph nodes in patients with gastric cancer are examined in this study. Forty-nine patients with gastric cancer who underwent curative resection were enrolled in the present study. These patients had no lymph node metastases according to a histological examination. The infiltration of natural killer (NK) cells, dendritic cells, ...

This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets. In particular, it defines objects for managing remote network monitoring (RMON) devices for use on high speed networks. This document contains a MIB Module that defines these new objects and also contains definitions of some updated objects from the RMON-MIB ...

This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB), the Aggregation MIB modules, for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. In particular, the Aggregation MIB modules will be used to configure a network management agent to aggregate the values of a user-specified set of Managed Object instances and to service queries related to the aggregated Managed ...

The joint Jasmin project of the Technical University of Braunschweig and NEC C&C Research Laboratories is concerned with the development, implementation and practical evaluation of the management by delegation architecture standardized by the Distributed Management (DISMAN) working group of the IETF. This paper presents the open source software components that have been developed during the pas...

The Internet-standard management protocol SNMP manipulates data structures that are defined in MIB modules. A large number of MIB modules has been defined over the last decade. Some of them are rather complex and full of technical details, which makes it hard to understand them. Furthermore, the limitations of the current data definition language make it impossible to formally express the conce...

The usual way to describe the semantics of MIB objects is just to give an informal English text explaining each object’s behavior. Informal descriptions are vague and incomplete. They are open to misinterpretation and may lead to inconsistent implementations. In this work we propose the use of Action Semantics as a simple and powerful tool for the formal description of the behavior of MIB objec...

In motion-induced blindness (MIB), persistent static targets intermittently disappear when presented near moving elements [1, 2]. There is currently no consensus regarding the cause or causes of MIB [3-7]. Here, we link the phenomenon to a mechanism that is integral for normal human vision, motion streak suppression [8]. The human visual system integrates information over time [9], resulting in...
