Background: Activated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (pSTAT3) is often present in breast cancer, but its prognostic impact is still unclear. We investigated how breast tumor-specific pSTAT3Y705 levels are associated with patient and tumor characteristics and risk of recurrence. Materials and Methods: Primary breast cancer patients without preoperative treatment were included pr

A novel method using the cloud to implement a variable horizon model predictive controller is presented. In case of sudden long delays and downtime, a graceful degradation is used. Robust, best effort strategies allow industrial grade use of the powerful, efficient, and quickly improving cloud ecosystems. The variable horizon strategy finds use in, for example, non-linear control problems, and the

A two-tier architecture for cloud-based MPC is presented consisting of a high rate MPC in the cloud and a low rate MPC on the local device. The system use the cloud MPC as the nominal controller but switches to local MPC in case of connectivity loss. The two MPCs are designed to be as similar to each other as possible except for the sampling rate. Different alternatives for when to execute the loc

This paper analyses the macroeconomic effects of banking crises in the United Kingdom between 1750 and 1938. We construct a new annual chronology of banking crises, which we define as episodes of runs and panics combined with significant, geographically-dispersed failures and suspensions. Using a vector autoregression, we find that banking crises are associated with short, sharp and significant dr

Cancer often results from chronic inflammation, and anti-inflammatory medications are therefore potential candidates for drug repurposing for cancer therapy. H2-antihistamines such as cimetidine have long been studied for their promise as cancer medications, but H1-antihistamines have thus far not been studied widely for this purpose. We have previously shown an association with improved breast ca

This chapter provides an attempt to enable a productive conversation between the budding, interdisciplinary research field of celebrity studies, humanitarianism, and activism and feminist international political economy scholarship. It focuses on the Same Sky shopping initiative – a New York-based ethical trade and shopping initiative supported by a philanthropic foundation with the same name. The
