background and aim: oropharyngeal cancer is a significant cause of death and disability worldwide. in iran it is the 13th and 17th most common cancer found in men and women, respectively. the aim of this study was to investigate etiological factors and clinical features of lesions related to oropharyngeal cancers over a 5-year period in tehran. materials and methods: in this retrospective cross...

Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) suffers from inter-carrier interference (ICI) if the channel has the Doppler spread and/or frequency offset. Polynomial cancellation coding (PCC), symmetric cancellation coding (SCC), and windowing are simple, but effective, schemes to mitigate the ICI in the OFDM system without error-correcting coding. In this two-part paper, we derive approxim...

Technologies for coding non-camera-captured video contents have received great interests lately due to the rapid growth of application areas such as wireless display and screen sharing, etc. In response to the market demands, the ITU-T Video Coding Expert Group and ISO/IEC Motion Picture Expert Group have jointly launched a new standardization project, i.e. the HighEfficiency Video Coding (HEVC...

The status of high efficiency video coding development is reviewed based on public available documents in HEVC version 4 standardization process. Here, the requirements and results of call for proposals on screen content coding (SCC) tools for HEVC are presented. The most significant additional coding tools are highlighted. To achieve high coding efficiency in SCC-HEVC, new coding tools that ex...

Non‑small‑cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. The most common subtypes of NSCLC are adenocarcinoma (AC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). However, the pathophysiological mechanisms contributing to AC and SCC are still largely unknown, especially the roles of long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs). The present study identified differentially expressed lncRNAs betw...

Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in women. More than 275,100 women die from cervical cancer each year. Cervical squamous cell carcinoma (cervical SCC), one of the most frequent types of cervical cancers, is associated with high-risk human papilloma virus (HPV), although HPV infection alone may not be enough to induce malignant transformation. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of smal...

| The star-connected cycles (SCC) graph was recently proposed as an alternative to the cube-connected cycles (CCC) graph, using a star graph to connect cycles of nodes rather than a hypercube. This paper presents an analysis of broadcasting algorithms for SIMD and MIMD SCCs, covering both one-port and multiple-port versions. We show that O(n log n) one-port broadcasting algorithms that have bee...

Recent approaches to network functions virtualization (NFV) have shown that commodity network stacks and drivers struggle to keep up with increasing hardware speed. Despite this, popular cloud networking services still rely on commodity operating systems (OSs) and device drivers. Taking into account the hardware underlying of commodity servers, we built an NFV profiler that tracks the movement ...
