Abstract: The invention relates to a method for diagnosing or identifying gastric cancer in a subject. The inventors indeed identified three DNA methylation biomarkers that, alone, or preferably in combination, can help diagnosing or following-up gastric cancer patients very specifically, discriminating with other type of cancers. Further, it can be used for determining, and/or adapting a suitable therapeutic regimen for a subject diagnosed for gastric cancer. The present invention also relates to kits comprising primers or probes to detect, diagnose, or identify hypermethylated genes.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing by magnetron cathode sputtering an electrolyte film for use in solid oxide cells (SOC). This method comprises the steps consisting of heating a substrate to a temperature ranging from 200° C. to 1200° C.; followed by subjecting the substrate to at least two treatment cycles, each treatment cycle comprising: 1) depositing one layer of a metal precursor on the substrate by magnetron cathode sputtering of a target made up of the metal precursor, the sputtering being carried out under elemental sputtering conditions; followed by 2) oxidation-crystallisation of the metal precursor forming the layer deposited on the substrate in the presence of oxygen to obtain the transformation of the metal precursor into the electrolyte material; and in that the substrate is kept at a temperature ranging from 200° C. to 1200° C. for the entire duration of each treatment cycle.

Abstract: A tire (10) for two-wheeled vehicles comprises a crown (12) comprising: a tread (20), and a hoop reinforcement (17) comprising at least one hooping ply (19) comprising one or more hoop reinforcing elements (44) comprising an assembly made up of a multifilament strand of aromatic polyamide or aromatic copolyamide (47) and of a multifilament strand of aliphatic polyamide (48).

Abstract: Technologies for network packet processing include a computing device that receives incoming network packets. The computing device adds the incoming network packets to an input lockless shared ring, and then classifies the network packets. After classification, the computing device adds the network packets to multiple lockless shared traffic class rings, with each ring associated with a traffic class and output port. The computing device may allocate bandwidth between network packets active during a scheduling quantum in the traffic class rings associated with an output port, schedule the network packets in the traffic class rings for transmission, and then transmit the network packets in response to scheduling. The computing device may perform traffic class separation in parallel with bandwidth allocation and traffic scheduling. In some embodiments, the computing device may perform bandwidth allocation and/or traffic scheduling on each traffic class ring in parallel.

Abstract: Technologies for simulating service degradation in telemetry data include a simulator device. The simulator device is to identify a telemetry data stream from a production system to a first management system. The simulator device is also to fork a copy of the telemetry data stream for transmission to a second management system, determine perturbations associated with a determined service degradation type, and apply the perturbations to the forked telemetry data stream. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
