Oral cavity cancer (OCC) is associated with high incidence of loco-regional recurrences, which account for the majority of treatment failures post-surgery and radiotherapy. The time-course of relapse manifestation and metastasis are unpredictable. Relapsed OCC represents a major clinical challenge in part due to their aggressive and invasive behaviors. Chemotherapy remains the only option for a...

Recently, substantial development is observed in the area of Internet Vehicles owing to application wireless communication technologies. Majority these technologies are based on radio frequency (RF); however, RF spectra overly congested and regulated, hence, insufficient support massive data traffic future. In recent times, optical camera (OCC) that uses a light-emitting diode (LED) as transmit...

Visible light communication (VLC) has emerged as a promising technology for wireless due to its advantages of the vast optical spectrum, high energy efficiency, and no electromagnetic interference radiation. With widespread adoption LED infrastructure camera-equipped smart devices, camera (OCC) gained momentum pragmatic version VLC based on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) devices. Compared with...

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) expects a bank to practice effective risk management regardless of whether the bank performs the activity internally or through a third party. A bank’s use of third parties does not diminish the responsibility of its board of directors and senior management to ensure that the activity is performed in a safe and sound manner and in compliance w...

This work proposes using the changes in LEDs' spectral emission induced by temperature variations to implement emitters for new communication channels Optical Camera Communication (OCC) systems. If a camera can discriminate shift response, these modifications be contemplated as data channel. The main advantage is that obtained from same physical optical emitter device, only are needed. Thus, th...

Purpose Given the important role of change capability for organizational development and competitive advantage, purpose this study is to clarify influences transformational leadership (TL) on (OCC) via mediating roles two specific aspects trust in namely disclosure-based reliance-based trust. Design/methodology/approach Structural equation modeling applied test degree TL employee OCC empirical ...

Metaboreceptor activation during passive heating is known to influence cutaneous vascular conductance (CVC) and sweat rate (SR). However, whether metaboreceptors modulate the suppression of heat loss following dynamic exercise remains unclear. On separate days, before and after 15 min of high-intensity treadmill running in the heat (35°C), eight males underwent either 1) no isometric handgrip e...

The occ and noc regions of octopine and nopaline Ti plasmids in Agrobacterium tumefaciens are responsible for the catabolic utilization of octopine and nopaline, respectively. Opine-inducible promoters, genes for regulatory proteins and for catabolic enzymes, had been identified in previous work. However, both regions contained additional DNA stretches which were under the control of opine-indu...

We previously showed that the cell-permeant antioxidant 2(3)- tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole (BHA) inhibited germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) in oocyte-cumulus complexes (OCC) of the rat. The objective of the present studies was to assess other antioxidants and whether such inhibition was reversible. Spontaneous GVBD in OCC incubated for 2 h was significantly inhibited ( P < 0.005) by nordihydrog...

The polypeptide and structural gene for a high-molecular-mass c-type cytochrome, cytochrome c553O, was isolated from the methanotroph Methylococcus capsulatus Bath. Cytochrome c553O is a homodimer with a subunit molecular mass of 124,350 Da and an isoelectric point of 6. 0. The heme c concentration was estimated to be 8.2 +/- 0.4 mol of heme c per subunit. The electron paramagnetic resonance sp...
