BACKGROUND SQUIRE demonstrated addition of necitumumab to gemcitabine and cisplatin significantly improved survival in patients with stage IV sq-NSCLC. Here, we report additional outcomes for the subpopulation of patients with tumor epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) protein expression. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with pathologically confirmed stage IV sq-NSCLC were randomized 1:1 to r...

A long time ago, there was a beautiful girl named " Mariah ". Mariah has a pure beauty like an wonderful smelling flower that can make any man's heart go round and round just concentrically. She has curly golden hair, azure eyes, coral lips and a dimple on her face. She has soft skin like a baby and always is odoriferous. Mariah not only has these about her. Mariah's silky words and her beautif...

Wavelet transformation is one of the most practical mathematical transformations in the field of image processing, especially image and signal processing. Depending on the nature of the multiresolution analysis, Wavelet transformation become more accessible and powerful tools. In this paper, we refer to the mathematical foundations of this transformation.   Introduction: The...

“We are what we are not only because we think (“cogito ergo sum”) but also because we can remember what we have thought about. Every thought we have, every word we speak, every action we engage in –indeed, our very sense of self and our sense of connectedness to otherswe owe to our memory, to the ability of our brains to record and to store our experiences. Memory is the glue that binds our men...

A recent theory of the nearly axisymmetric vortex breakdown in a pipe is presented. We study the motion of an axisymmetric and inviscid swirling ow in a pipe with certain boundary conditions that may reeect the physical situation. The theory is built of global analysis of solutions of the Squire-Long equation and linear stability analysis of these solutions. The theory uniies the major previous...
