摘要:
The invention provides human angiostatin interacting and tumor metastasis involving protein (HAI-TMIP) isoforms, namely HAI-TMIP variants 1 to 7, and human protein complexes comprising HAI-TMIP variant 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7. The invention also provides antibodies that immunospecifically bind to HAI-TMIP variant 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 or a complex comprising such a variant, and uses of such antibodies. The present invention provides peptides which may be used as immunogens to distinguish between the HAI-TMIP variants. The invention further provides compounds that modulate the expression and/or activity of HAI-TMIP variant 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7, or a complex comprising such a variant, and uses of such compounds in the prevention, treatment and/or management of various disorders, in particular, cancer.
摘要:
A method and system for designing file replication schemes in file sharing systems consider node storage constraints and node up/down statistics, file storage costs, and file transfer costs among the nodes, user request rates for the files, and user specified file availability requirements. Based on these considerations, a systematic method for designing file replication schemes can be implemented. The method first determines the number of copies of the files to be stored in the system to achieve the desired goal (e.g., to satisfy file availability requirements, or to maximize the system hit rate), and then selects the nodes at which to store the file copies to minimize the total expected cost. The file replication scheme for a peer-to-peer file sharing system in a distributed and adaptive manner can scale to a large number of nodes and files and can handle changes in the user request pattern over time.
