A Case of Skin Cancer Diagnosed 21 Days after Renal Transplantation
No full textThe patient was a 67-year-old man who was started on peritoneal dialysis for treatment of diabetic nephropathy in March 2010. He received an ABO-compatible living-donor kidney transplant from his wife in October 2010. The immunosuppressive regimen consisted of tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, steroid and basiliximab. Before the operation, a bump on his forehead/temple region that was increasing in size for years was noted. The bump had a scaly surface and the top of the bump was sloughed on postoperative day 14. Histological examination suggested malignancy. On postoperative day 21, a skin biopsy was performed by dermatologists and squamous cell carcinoma was confirmed. On postoperative day 36, wide excision and transposition flap procedures were performed by the plastic surgeon. At 15 months after transplantation, the kidney graft was functioning well with a serum creatinine level of 0.84 mg/dl and there was no sign of recurrence of the squamous cell carcinoma
Overview of the 2019 open-source IR replicability challenge (OSIRRC 2019)
No full textThe Open-Source IR Replicability Challenge (OSIRRC 2019), organized as a workshop at SIGIR 2019, aims to improve the replicability of ad hoc retrieval experiments in information retrieval by gathering a community of researchers to jointly develop a common Docker specification and build Docker images that encapsulate a diversity of systems and retrieval models. We articulate the goals of this workshop and describe the "jig" that encodes the Docker specification. In total, 13 teams from around the world submitted 17 images, most of which were designed to produce retrieval runs for the TREC 2004 Robust Track test collection. This exercise demonstrates the feasibility of orchestrating large, community-based replication experiments with Docker technology. We envision OSIRRC becoming an ongoing community-wide effort to ensure experimental replicability and sustained progress on standard test collections.Web Information System

<Special Contributions>Life is as Water Flow --My Research History--
No full textThe author was born in a port town, Kobe and studied the coastal engineering in Kyoto University. After graduation, he was hired by the Ministry of Transport and became a member of the Port and Harbour Research Institute (PHRI). In the institute, he mainly managed the wave transformation in shallow water, the prevention of the long period waves in harbors and the development of the multi-directional random wave generator. He moved to the DPRI, Kyoto University as a professor after the 26years work in PHRI. The large size experimental works in the Tsunami Reproduction Basin in the Ujikawa Open Laboratory was his main research theme This manuscript demonstrates the purposes and results of such large size experiments carried out by himself

Interface and results visualization of WMN-GA simulation system: evaluation for exponential and Weibull distributions considering different transmission rates
No full textThis is a copy of the author 's final draft version of an article published in the journal Computer standards & interfaces.
The final publication is available at Springer via
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.csi.2015.04.003In this paper, we present the interface and data visualization of a simulation system for Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs), which is based on Genetic Algorithms (GAs). We call this system WMN-GA. As evaluation parameters, we consider Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), throughput and delay metrics. For simulations, we used ns-3 simulator and Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol (HWMP). From simulation results, we found that PDR for Weibull distribution is higher than Exponential distribution. But, the throughput of Exponential distribution is higher than Weibull distribution. The delay of Exponential distribution is smaller than Weibull distribution.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft

Dockerizing indri for OSIRRC 2019
No full textThe Lemur Project was set up in 2000 by the Center for Intelligent Information Retrieval at UMass Amherst. It is one of the longest lasting open-source projects in the information retrieval (IR) research community. Among the released tools is Indri, a popular search engine that was designed for language-modeling based approaches to IR. For OSIRRC 2019 we dockerized Indri and added support for the Robust04, Core18 and GOV2 test collections.Web Information System
Dockerising Terrier for The Open-Source IR Replicability Challenge
No full textReproducibility and replicability are key concepts in science, and
it is therefore important for information retrieval (IR) platforms
to aid in reproducing and replicating experiments. In this paper,
we describe the creation of a Docker container for Terrier within
the framework of the OSIRRC 2019 challenge, which allows typical
runs to be reproduced on TREC Test Collections such as Robust04,
GOV2, Core2018. In doing so, it is hoped that the produced Docker
image can be of aid to other (re)producing baseline experiments on
these test collections. Initiatives like OSIRRC are key in advancing
these key concepts in the IR area. By making not only the source
code available, but also the exact same environment and standardising inputs and outputs, it is possible to easily compare approaches
and thereby improve the quality of the research for Information
Retrieval
The quantities W, L,K and variations of geodesics in Finsler spaces
No full textThe author investigates the first and the second variations of the arc length of
curves under the standpoint of linear parallel displacements. Last year the author
studied linear parallel displacements along an infinitesimal parallelogram and ob-
tained three quantities on H([9],[10]). In this paper, they appear in the second
variation
