CONTEXT Intraductal carcinoma of the prostate (IDC-P) is a distinct clinicopathologic entity, characterized by an expansile proliferation of secretory cells within prostatic ducts and acini that demonstrate marked architectural and cytologic atypia. Intraductal carcinoma of the prostate is strongly associated with high-grade and high-volume, invasive prostate cancer and a poorer prognosis than ...

INTRODUCTION This study describes the differences between the two largest histological breast cancer subtypes (invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) and invasive (mixed) lobular carcinoma (ILC) with respect to patient and tumor characteristics, treatment-choices and outcome in metastatic breast cancer. RESULTS Patients with ILC were older at diagnosis of primary breast cancer and had more often ini...

In the normal mouse spleen, two distinct populations of dendritic cells (DC) are present that differ in microanatomical location. The major population of marginal DC is found in the "marginal zone bridging channels" and extends into the red pulp. The interdigitating cells (IDC) are localized in the T cell areas in the white pulp. The aim of the present study was to characterize these two spleni...

Effectively managing multiple data centers and their traffic dynamics pose many challenges to their operators, as little is known about the characteristics of inter-data center (D2D) traffic. In this paper we present a first study of D2D traffic characteristics using the anonymized NetFlow datasets collected at the border routers of five major Yahoo! data centers. Our contributions are mainly t...

The ability to access, evaluate and use information in each profession is one of the most effective materials of individual success. Accessing updated medical information is vital for physicians (1-5). In a descriptive cross sectional study performed in Bandar Abbas, the capital city of Hormozgan province in the southern part of Iran. Data the internet and computer usage was examined among m...

Datacenters are one of the important global energy consumers and carbon producers. However, their tight service level requirements prevent easy integration with highly variable renewable energy sources. Short-term green energy prediction can mitigate this variability. In this work, we first explore the existing short-term solar and wind energy prediction methods, and then leverage prediction to...

As one of the first worldwide initiatives provisioning ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) services entirely based on renewable energy such as solar, wind and hydroelectricity across Canada and around the world, the GreenStar Network (GSN) is developed to dynamically transport user services to be processed in data centers built in proximity to green energy sources, reducing GHG (Gr...

The ASPs (Application Service Providers) are companies which offer the use of applications and remote services from a data centre. Using periodical payments and always-on connections, the ASPs take charge of the management and supply of applications to multiple companies over the Internet or other networks. In this way, the customer may access, so long as he has the computer structure in his co...

Since the 1990s, our center’s geophysics database has been available on the Internet (http://gp.wdc.cn and http://wdc.geophys.cn). Based on HTML language, the website offers simple data service and is being constantly upgraded and improved. We have adopted ORACLE as the database and use JSP (Java Server Pages) technology to create dynamic pages. The basic function of the network is to store, ch...
