Abstract To be agile and cost e ective, data centers should allow dynamic resource allocation across large server pools. In particular, the data center network should enable any server to be assigned to any service. To meet these goals, we present VL, a practical network architecture that scales

-control studies that evaluated this association. Methods: We carried out a search in Medline, EMBASE, and the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database for relevant studies. Data were extracted using a standardized form and pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were

-transferase in lung tissue. A polymorphism in the GSTP1 gene, an A-to-G transition in exon 5 (Ile105Val, 313A / 313G), results in lower activity among individuals who carry the valine allele. The authors present a meta- and a pooled analysis of case-control studies that examined the association between

, the authors undertook a Human Genome Epidemiology review on these three genes and a pooled analysis of published studies on ADH1C.

smokers (OR 0.71, 95 % CI: 0.51, 0.99), suggesting effect modification by tobacco smoking. There was no association between cancer risk and the APE1/APEX1 Asp148Glu and XRCC1 Arg280His polymorphisms. Rec-ommendations for future studies include pooling of individual data to facilitate evaluation

This paper presents a simple solution to the distributed producer/consumer problem. This solution, which is based upon the notion of a distributed pool, is described in detail and its performance analyzed. As the analysis shows, the distributed pools algorithm presented herein is a simple

We performed ameta-analysis of the association of transforming growth factor α gene (TGFA) polymorphisms with the risk of cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) or cleft palate (CP). In total, data from 29 studies were pooled for the following 3 polymorphisms: TGFA/TaqI, TGFA/BamHI, and TGFA

to November 2006, of 26 case-control studies comprising 7,042 cases and 7,011 controls. Pooled odds ratios and 95 % confidence intervals were calculated by using the random-effects model. Publication bias, subgroup, and sensitivity analyses were also performed, which showed that 160A allele carriers, compared
