RCC: A compiler for the R language for statistical computing
… describes the design and implementation of RCC, a compiler that translates R into C to improve performance and enable future optimization. RCC uses runtime libraries of the open-source R interpreter, combining compiled and interpreted code to achieve a complete translation. Function …

Selecting material constituents and proportions for specific roller-compacted concrete mechanical properties
Roller-compacted concrete (RCC) is increasingly becoming an alternative pavement type because of its construction expediency, reductions in material and construction costs, sustainability benefits, and overall structural capacity. Current RCC pavement mix design procedures select mix constituents …

Molecular genetic investigations of renal cell carcinoma predisposition
Renal Cell Carcinomas (RCC) are a diverse group of histologically and genetically distinct renal neoplasms accounting for 2.4% of all cancers worldwide. While a majority of RCC cases are sporadic in nature, a proportion are due to genetic predisposition caused by syndromic and non-syndromic …

Characterization of a Novel Biodegradable Material to Reduce Emission of Ammonia
… absorption capacities of the raw corn cob (RCC) and the steam exploded corn cob (SECC) were 10.45 mg NHB3B/gRCC and 59.80 mg NHB3B/gSECC respectively. However, the titration of the water slurries with a NHB4BOH showed that the capacity of the SECC was 14.4 times that of RCC. The large …

Genetic basis of inherited kidney and related tumours
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) represents the 6th most commonly diagnosed cancer in males and the 10th most commonly diagnosed cancer in females, worldwide, with incidence rates rising. It has been estimated that 3-5% of RCC is inherited. The aim of this thesis was to improve the understanding of the …

Investigation of the genetic basis of multiple primary renal tumours
… predisposition to cancer. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) occurs in several hereditary cancer disorders syndromes and RCC-related MPT comprise individuals with multiple primary renal tumours (MPRT) and those with RCC plus a non-renal tumour (MPT:RCC+X). Excluding rare syndromic causes, knowledge of …

Evaluating metabolism in human renal cancer using novel surgical models
… genome and environment. Renal cell carcinomas (RCC) are increasingly recognised as metabolically-driven types of cancers. This reprogramming of metabolism in RCC has been shown to have a causal role in tumorigenesis, progression, and aggressive disease behaviour. However, the majority of studies …

Relationship-Centered Communication In Breast Cancer Screening: An Interdisciplinary Training Model
… who undergo relationship-centered communication (RCC) training demonstrate stronger interpersonal relationships, which result in increased provider-patient satisfaction, more efficient healthcare teams, and improved quality of patient care. To date, most RCC studies have focused predominantly on …

Large-Displacement Linear-Motion Compliant Mechanisms
… (PRBM) for rolling-contact compliant beams (RCC beams), a compliant element used in the RCC suspension. The loading conditions and boundary conditions for RCC beams can be simplified to an equivalent cantilever beam that has the same force-deflection characteristics as the RCC beam. Building …

Trend and Impact of Nephrectomy Centralisation on Renal Cell Carcinoma Survival
… incidentally. Despite this, mortality from RCC has not changed substantially and over 4,000 patients still die from RCC in the UK annually, accounting for 3% of all cancer deaths. In response, the Improving Outcomes for Urological Cancers guidance from the National Institute for Health and …

Correlation of Caveolin-1 Expression on Tissue Microarray with Prognosis in Renal Cell Carcinoma
… the role of caveolin-1 in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is still uncertain. Some reports have suggested that caveolin-1 overexpression is associated with a poor prognosis in RCC, whereas there is a report that caveolin-1 expression is decreased in RCC, suggesting that the down-regulation of …

Novel multi-parametric, multi-modality imaging for the assessment of tumour biology in renal cell carcinoma
Renal cancer (RCC) is the 7th commonest cancer in the UK and clinically, morphologically, genetically and metabolically heterogeneous. Inaccurate patient stratification limits the treatment of RCC. This thesis investigates imaging techniques and image-analysis methods ranging from easily …

Investigating the Role of Hippo/Warts Signaling in Sarcomatoid Renal Cell Carcinoma
Renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) are the most common kidney malignancy and one of the most common cancers overall. Sarcomatoid RCC (sRCC) is a particularly aggressive subtype of RCC which displays a high rate of metastasis and poor prognosis, contributing to a disproportionately high clinical burden. …
