Chips zur Analyse von Krebsgenen
Wie am 19 Oktober 2002 den Delegierten bei dem Kongress der European Society for Medical Oncology in Nizza mitgeteilt wurde, dürfte sich die Chip Technology zur Auswertung von genetischen Informationen in der Zukunft als eines der wichtigsten Instrumente für die Krebsprognose herausstellen.
Krebs wird durch Veränderungen oder Mutationen in Genen und durch andere Zellanomalien ausgelöst. Die Informationen des Human Genome Project bieten jetzt ein wertvolles Werkzeug, um die genetische Basis
Telecoms: Important step to better network performance
Today, Eurescom, Spirent Communications, and BTexact Technologies announced the completion of a test that confirms the feasibility of performance management for IP Quality of Service (QoS) using Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS).
As a result of this test, service providers will be able to employ a simplified methodology for identifying the location of performance problems across multiple operator networks, and for verifying their capability to capture performance information at various cl
Software tool will help engineers design jet engines
Purdue University researchers have created a software tool that is more than 100 times faster than other programs used by engineers to improve jet engine designs
The software analyzes engine models and quickly extracts information that indicates whether the design is mechanically sound, said Mario Rotea, a professor in Purdue’s School of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
Considering the complex inner workings of a jet engine, software aimed at predicting how well a new desig
To Detect Cyberattacks, New Software System Developed at UB Profiles ’Normal’ Computer Habits
An early version of a new software system developed by University at Buffalo researchers that detects cyberattacks while they are in progress by drawing highly personalized profiles of users has proven successful 94 percent of the time in simulated attacks.
The “user-level anomaly detection system” was described here today (Oct. 10, 2002) at the military communications conference known as MILCOM 2002.
“We have developed a new paradigm, proactively encapsulating user intent where y
Global high-quality digital video is unveiled
The International Center for Advanced Internet Research (iCAIR) at Northwestern University and Path1 Network Technologies, Inc. have demonstrated an innovative capability for global, high-quality, high-performance digital video at the recent international iGrid2002 Conference in Amsterdam.
The biennial iGrid (International Grid) event is dedicated to showcasing leading-edge applications enabled by globally high-performance networks. This experiment demonstrated high-performance, end-to-end
New technique transmits data at 2.8 gigabits per second
A test conducted by two Chicago computer scientists to push trans-Atlantic high-speed data transmission has resulted in a new top speed of 2.8 gigabits (billion bits) per second.
Researchers Joel Mambretti, director of the International Center for Advanced Internet Research at Northwestern University, and Robert Grossman, director of the Laboratory for Advanced Computing and National Center for Data Mining at the University of Illinois at Chicago, set the speed mark Sept. 24 during a present
