Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) ranks the first death rate among the urogenital tumors, whereas its incidence follows the incidences of prostate and bladder cancer. The diagnosis of RCC at early stages allows immediately undertaking appropriate treatment, which significantly increases patients’ survival rate. Early and accurate diagnosis avoids inadequate treatment, provides the disease progression forecast,...
The renal cell carcinoma is the ninth most common cancer with an increasing occurrence and mortality. Recoverin is the first retina-specific photoreceptor protein that was shown to undergo aberrant expression, due to its promoter demethylation, as a cancer-retina antigen in a number of malignant tumors. In this work, we demonstrated that recoverin is indeed expressed in 68.4 % of patients with different...
In this paper, we consider the problem of tracking fine-grained speeds variations of vehicles using signal strength traces from GSM enabled phones. Existing speed estimation techniques using mobile phone signals can provide longer-term speed averages but cannot track short-term speed variations. Understanding short-term speed variations, however, is important in a variety of traffic engineering applications-for...
The advent of ubiquitous, mobile, personal devices creates an unprecedented opportunity to improve our understanding of human movement. In this work, we study human mobility in Los Angeles and New York by analyzing anonymous records of approximate locations of cell phones belonging to residents of those cities. We examine two data sets gathered six months apart, each representing hundreds of thousands...
Online social networks (OSNs) are immensely popular, but their centralized control of user data raises important privacy concerns. This paper presents Vis-à-Vis, a decentralized framework for OSNs based on the privacy-preserving notion of a Virtual Individual Server (VIS). A VIS is a personal virtual machine running in a paid compute utility. In Vis-à-Vis, a person stores her...
In this paper, we argue that localization solution based on cellular phone technology, specifically GSM phones, is a sufficient and attractive option in terms of coverage and accuracy for a wide range of indoor, outdoor, and place-based location-aware applications. We present preliminary results that indicate that GSM-based localization systems have the potential to detect the places that people visit...
With the proliferation of mobile devices, spontaneous interactions between co-located devices that do not know each other a priori will become commonplace. Securing these interactions against eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks is an important and challenging task. In this paper, we postulate that mobile devices that are positioned in close proximity may be able to derive a shared secret to...
When a service is offered by multiple servers in a mobile ad hoc network (MANETs), the manner in which clients and servers are paired together, referred to as service selection, is crucial to network performance. Good service selection groups clients with nearby servers, localizing communication, which in turn reduces inter-node interference and allows for multiple concurrent transmissions in different...
