The interference graph for a procedure in Static Single Assignment (SSA) Form is chordal. Since the k-colorability problem can be solved in polynomial-time for chordal graphs, this result has generated interest in SSA-based heuristics for spilling and coalescing. Since copies can be folded during SSA construction, instances of the coalescing problem under SSA have fewer affinities than traditio...

BACKGROUND Ovarian clear-cell carcinoma (OCC) is known to have a poor prognosis and selected genetic features of OCC remain unknown. We investigated microsatellite instability (MSI) and the expression of the DNA mismatch repair-related protein, p53. MATERIALS AND METHODS MSI was examined by polymerase chain reaction using mono-, di-, tri- and tetranucleotide repeat markers, and hMSH2, hMLH1, ...

To study the effects of circulatory occlusion on the time course and magnitude of postexercise O2 consumption (VO2) and blood lactate responses, nine male subjects were studied twice for 50 min on a cycle ergometer. On one occasion, leg blood flow was occluded with surgical thigh cuffs placed below the buttocks and inflated to 200 mmHg. The protocol consisted of a 10-min rest, 12 min of exercis...

We tested the hypothesis that increases in forearm blood flow (FBF) during the adaptive phase at the onset of moderate exercise would allow a more rapid increase in muscle O2 uptake (VO2 mus). Fifteen subjects completed forearm exercise in control (Con) and leg occlusion (Occ) conditions. In Occ, exercise of ischemic calf muscles was performed before the onset of forearm exercise to activate th...

PURPOSE Except for early stages (T1/2 N0), the prognosis for patients with oral cavity cancer (OCC) is known to be worse than for those with pharyngeal carcinoma. While definitive intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)-chemotherapy affords loco-regional control rates (LRC) of approximately 80% in advanced pharyngeal cancer, corresponding rates are reported to be much lower for OCC. The ai...

This research addresses the problem of prediction of protein-protein interactions (PPI) when integrating diverse kinds of biological information. This task has been commonly viewed as a binary classification problem (whether any two proteins do or do not interact) and several different machine learning techniques have been employed to solve this task. However the nature of the data creates two ...

UNLABELLED The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical usefulness of PET/CT or CT-attenuated PET in the evaluation of patients with oral cavity cancer (OCC) in whom dental artifacts distorted the conventional CT or MR images of the oral cavity. METHODS A PET/CT scan, in addition to a CT or MRI scan, was performed in 69 patients with OCC who had dentures or dental implants. A tot...

We propose a new compressed text index built upon grammar compression based on induced suffix sorting [Nunes et al., DCC’18]. show that this exhibits locality sensitive parsing property, which allows us to specify, given pattern P, certain substrings of called cores, are similarly parsed in the whenever these occurrences extensible P. Supported by length m, we can locate all its \(\text {occ}\)...

Main-memory multicore transactional systems have achieved excellent performance using single-version optimistic concurrency control (OCC), especially on uncontended workloads. Nevertheless, based other protocols, such as hybrid OCC/ locking and variations multiversion (MVCC), are reported to outperform the best OCC systems, with increasing contention. This paper shows that implementation choice...
