Malignant tumors that contain a high proportion of regions deprived of adequate oxygen supply (hypoxia) in areas supplied by a microvessel (i.e., a microcirculatory supply unit MCSU) have been shown to present resistance to common cancer treatments. Given the importance of the estimation of this proportion for improving the clinical prognosis of such treatments, a manual annotation has been pro...

This paper tests the hypothesis that social presence influences size perception by increasing context sensitivity. Consistent with Allport's prediction, we expected to find greater context sensitivity in participants who perform a visual task in the presence of other people (i.e., in co-action) than in participants who perform the task in isolation. Supporting this hypothesis, participants perf...

We calculate the leading order interactions of massless D-brane excitations. Their 4-point functions are found to be identical to those found in type I theory. The amplitude for two massless D-brane fluctuations to produce a massless closed string is found to possess interesting new structure. As a function of its single kinematic invariant, it displays an infinite sequence of alternating zeros...

We present an overview of current research in performance modeling, focusing on efforts underway in the Performance Evaluation Research Center (PERC). Using some new techniques, we are able to construct performance models that can be used to project the sustained performance of large-scale scientific programs on different systems, over a range of job and system sizes. Such models can be used by...

In this paper, we present a brief review of methods for protein structure comparison. We also present a novel idea for comparing homo-oligomeric protein complexes by using a simplified representation of the protein that takes advantage of the symmetry present in the protein. We compare this method to other similar protein comparison methods in computational experiments.

The Microsystems Subgrid Physics project is intended to address gaps between developing high-performance modeling and simulation capabilities and microdomain specific physics. The initial effort has focused on incorporating electrostatic excitations, adhesive surface interactions, and scale dependent material and thermal properties into existing modeling capabilities. Developments related to ea...

In Microblog retrieval, a system’s ability to know when to ”shut up” and how many results to return for a given query can have huge impact on its performance [1]. In addition, since relevant but redundant tweets will be deemed as irrelevant, it is also important to detect whether a tweet contain novel information or not. Therefore, in this year’s Real-Time Summarization Track, we focus on estim...

While ensembles have been used for structured output learning, the literature lacks an extensive study of different strategies to construct ensembles in this context. In this work, we fill this gap by presenting a thorough empirical comparison of ensembles that predict the complete output structure at once, versus a combination of ensembles that each predicts a single component of the structure...
