Abstract: A task offloading and resource allocation method in an uncertain network environment is provided. A task offloading process is modeled as a two-stage offloading model. The model is optimized to a task offloading and resource allocation problem based on two-stage stochastic programming. Based on a stochastic simulation algorithm, the task offloading and resource allocation problem is transformed to a sample mean approximation problem. The sample mean approximation problem is decoupled to a local computing resource allocation sub-problem, a transmission power and edge computing resource joint allocation sub-problem, and an offloading decision sub-problem. The three sub-problems are solved respectively by using a standard Lagrange multiplier algorithm, by using a genetic algorithm, and by analyzing delay estimation and energy consumption budget of local computing and delay estimation and energy consumption budget of edge computing.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and methods of treating cancer. The compositions include an Ankyrin-rich BTB/POZ domain-containing protein-2 (ABTB2)-expressing virus and are particularly useful for treating pancreatic cancer.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for treating cancer are provided. Compositions comprising ceramide nanoliposomes are administered to a subject in need of such treatment. The composition administration also enhances immunotherapy. Further administering compositions in combination with tumor antigen specific T-cells, and/or compositions in combination with tumor antigen expressing cells, and/or said compositions in combination with antagonists of PD-1 provides for enhanced results. Administration of the compositions provides for effective treatment of tumors including regression and eradication of established tumors.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a catalyst material comprises forming or receiving a precursor solution of an iridium precursor compound, adding a 3d orbital transition metal to the precursor solution, adding a surfactant compound to the precursor solution to provide a precursor and surfactant mixture, reacting the iridium precursor compound with a nitrate salt of an alkaline metal cation to provide a reaction product comprising an iridium nitrate, and calcining the iridium nitrate at a specified calcination temperature to convert the iridium nitrate to form catalyst particles comprising an iridium oxide.
