BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to evaluate the retinal and choroidal thickness of the macular region in patients with unilateral relentless placoid chorioretinitis (RPC) and macular involvement. Patients diagnosed with RPC affecting only one eye underwent a comprehensive ophthalmologic examination including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), axial length (AL) measurement, slit-lamp e...

The Peregrine RPC system provides performance very close to the optimum allowed by the hardware limits, while still supporting the complete RPC model. Implemented on an Ethernet network of Sun-3/60 workstations, a null RPC between two user-level threads executing on separate machines requires 573 ms. This time compares well with the fastest network RPC times reported in the literature, ranging ...

During the last years JavaScript Object Notation Remote Procedure Call (JSON-RPC) emerged as the de facto standard for service calling on mobile devices. Unfortunately many enterprise services are still only available as traditional Web Service accessible via Web Services Description Language (WSDL) and Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). In this paper we introduce the Web Service to JSON-RPC...

MicroRNAs manifest significant functions in brain neural stem cell (NSC) self-renewal and differentiation through the post-transcriptional regulation of neurogenesis genes. Let-7b is expressed in the mammalian brain and regulates NSC proliferation and differentiation by targeting the nuclear receptor TLX, which is an essential regulator of NSC self-renewal. Whether let-7b and TLX act as importa...

Amoeba is a capability-based distributed operating system designed for high performance interactions between clients and servers using the well-known RPC model. The paper starts out by describing the architecture of the Amoeba system, which is typified by specialized components such as workstations, several services, a processor pool, and gateways that connect other Amoeba systems transparently...

In this paper the uncertainty of a robust photometer circuit (RPC) was estimated. Here, the RPC was considered as a measurement system, having input quantities that were inexactly known, and output quantities that consequently were also inexactly known. Input quantities represent information obtained from calibration certificates, specifications of manufacturers, and tabulated data. Output quan...

This paper presents design and implementation of a remote Procedure call (RPC) API for programming applications on Peer-to-Peer environments. The P2P-RPC API is designed to address one of neglected aspect of Peer-to-Peer the lack of a simple programming interface. In this paper we examine one concrete implementation of the P2PRPC API derived from OmniRPC (an existing RPC API for the Grid based ...

Cranial neuropathy is an uncommon manifestation of relapsing polychondritis (RPC). Optic neuropathy is the most common type of cranial nerve involvement in RPC. Until now, trigeminal neuralgia (TN) has been reported with different rheumatic diseases, however, there is no reported case of TN associated with RPC. We here present a case of RPC with TN. A 57 year-old female patient previously diagn...
