Predictive Significance of CD276/B7-H3 Expression in Baseline Biopsies of Advanced Prostate Carcinoma
At the time of diagnosis, prostate cancer can appear deceptively mild or already display signs of widespread disease. Predicting long-term outcomes is often uncertain. This research focused on measuring CD276/B7-H3, an immune checkpoint protein linked to tumor development, in diagnostic tissue samples from 248 men. Participants included both those with cancer confined to the prostate and those with confirmed metastases. Analysis showed that patients with metastatic disease were more likely to e…

Attached: 1 image Pro-Palestinian activists seeking to march to Gaza with the stated aim of breaking Israel's blockade on the territory were stopped Friday in both Libya and Egypt, organisers said. "Forty participants of the Global March to Gaza have had their passports taken at a checkpoint on the way out of Cairo," organisers said in a statement. "They are being held in the heat and not allowed to move," the statement said. https://www.newarab.com/news/activists-marching-gaza-say-were-sto…

Checkpoint 1 closes in about 1 hour. A bunch of riders very close and another 11 about 7 to 8 km away.

Puh, das wird echt knapp am Checkpoint 2. Könnte mir vorstellen, dass da einige den Cutoff knapp verpassen. 😬

Yes, finally. Please allow liquids next.

DaiFu: In-Situ Crash Recovery for Deep Learning Systems
Deep learning (DL) systems have been widely adopted in many areas, and are becoming even more popular with the emergence of large language models. However, due to the complex software stacks involved in their development and execution, crashes are unavoidable and common. Crashes severely waste computing resources and hinder development productivity, so efficient crash recovery is crucial. Existing solutions, such as checkpoint-retry, are too heavyweight for fast recovery from crashes caused by …

@… ist auf dem Tourmalet angekommen! 🥳
Jetzt geht es nur noch bergab zum Checkpoint. Das sollte in der Zeit zu schaffen sein!
Danach sind 3 Tage Zeit bis zum CP 3.

Bridging Critical Gaps in Convergent Learning: How Representational Alignment Evolves Across Layers, Training, and Distribution Shifts
Understanding convergent learning -- the degree to which independently trained neural systems -- whether multiple artificial networks or brains and models -- arrive at similar internal representations -- is crucial for both neuroscience and AI. Yet, the literature remains narrow in scope -- typically examining just a handful of models with one dataset, relying on one alignment metric, and evaluating networks at a single post-training checkpoint. We present a large-scale audit of convergent lear…

This is for DEVS ->
When you write an interface program to load data from an external source you DO NOT ABEND if the key field in the input file is not in the database. YOU WRITE AN ERROR REPORT and continue on. If you do need to abend then make sure your program has checkpoint logic and not rollback of EVERY transaction and then put out full information on what caused the abend, which input file and what record.
BTW, also put in edit rules for fields before even trying to s…

vNV-Heap: An Ownership-Based Virtually Non-Volatile Heap for Embedded Systems
The Internet of Batteryless Things might revolutionize our understanding of connected devices by harvesting required operational energy from the environment. These systems come with the system-software challenge that the intermittently powered IoT devices have to checkpoint their state in non-volatile memory to later resume with this state when sufficient energy is available. The scarce energy resources demand that only modified data is persisted before a power failure, which requires precise m…
