Neuroendocrine differentiation (NED) has been observed in breast carcinoma (BC). Several studies have explored the prognostic significance of NED in patients with BC but yielded controversial results. In order to comprehensively appraise the prognostic significance of NED in BC, we carried out the present meta-analysis with the risk ratios (RRs) of 5-year and 10-year survival rates and hazard r...

acts with both the work environments and the huThe control of a bilateral teleoperated manipulator system is considered. The goal of the control are to i) coordinate the motions of the two manipulators according to a prede ned kinematic scaling, ii) render the dynamics of a locked system, and its response to forces from the human operator and environment to approximate that of prede ned natural...

This paper presents the Image Understanding Environment (IUE) in the context of a number of image understanding problem domains. The intent is to demonstrate, via concrete examples , how the IUE can assist the user in solving real problems. The particular problems are chosen to provide a representative, rather than exhaustive, sampling of current vision research, and are also intended to illust...

Starting from the most general action in Einstein-Dilaton-Nonlinear Electrodynamics (NED) theory, we obtain field equations. We apply equations for specific NED known as square root model coupled nonminimally to dilaton scalar whose self-interaction is Liouville type plus a cosmological constant and solve With pure magnetic it shown that strong limit of Born–Infeld theory. In static spherically...

Abstract Biology makes things far smaller and more complex than anything produced by human engineering. The biotechnology revolution has for the first time given us the tools necessary to consider engineering on the molecular level. Research in DNA computation, launched by Len Adleman, has opened the door for experimental study of programmable biochemical reactions. Here we focus on a single ...

This paper presents a new control structure to reduce torque ripple in switched reluctance motor. Although SRM possesses many advantages in motor structure, it suers from large torque ripple that causes some problems such as vibration and acoustic noise. In this paper another control loop is added and torque ripple is de ned as an objective function. By using fuzzy sliding mode strategy, the DC...

Neuroendocrine differentiation (NED) in prostate cancer is a well-recognized phenotypic change by which prostate cancer cells transdifferentiate into neuroendocrine-like (NE-like) cells. NE-like cells lack the expression of androgen receptor and prostate specific antigen, and are resistant to treatments. In addition, NE-like cells secrete peptide hormones and growth factors to support the growt...

OBJECTIVES To explore the occupational backgrounds of English Non-Executive Directors (NED) on Acute National Health Service (NHS) Trusts. DESIGN Data extrapolated from Trust websites of NED' occupational backgrounds by gender and occupations, and inter-rater reliability test undertaken. SETTING Data were available on all but 24 of the 166 Acute Trusts' from all regions. PARTICIPANTS Trus...

For a general logic program, a set of n+ 1 logic values is considered and an unde ned value denoted u. Partial multi-valued interpretations are also de ned. A general logic program P may contain the constants that are de ned for every logic value. A pseudo-negation denoted eh is de ned for every integer h, where 0 h < n. A partial ordering denoted h is de ned between multi-valued interpretation...
