Cloud impacts on the transfer of Ultraviolet (UV) radiation through the atmosphere can be assessed using a cloud modification factor (CMF). The total global solar irradiation has proven to be a solid basis to derive CMF’s for the UV radiation (UV CMF). Total global irradiance is frequently measured and forecasted by numerical weather predic5 tion systems. Its advantage compared to for instance ...

BACKGROUND Breast cancer incidence in India is on rise. We report epidemiological, clinical and survival patterns of breast cancer patients from community perspective. METHODS All breast cancer patients treated at this hospital from July 2000 to July 2005 were included. All had cytological or histological confirmation of breast cancer. TNM guidelines for staging and Immunohistochemistry to as...

Context. Stars form in dense, dusty clumps of molecular clouds, but little is known about their origin and evolution. In particular, the relationship between the mass distribution of these clumps (also known as the “clump mass function”, or CMF) and the stellar initial mass function (IMF), is still poorly understood. Aims. In order to discern the “true” shape of the CMF and to better understand...

The hierarchical structures of carbonized melamine foam modified by FeNi alloy and silicon layer (CMF/FeNi-SiO2) have been fabricated a magnetron sputtering method. as-prepared CMF/FeNi-SiO2 composites exhibited three-dimensional porous structure, with the framework uniformly covered several hundred nanometers an ultrathin SiO2 layer, which demonstrated soft magnetic properties at room temperat...

Infant Milk Formula (IMF) is designed as a breastmilk substitute to satisfy the nutritional requirements during first months of life. This study investigates effects two IMF processing technologies on cow milk protein digestion using an infant static in vitro gastrointestinal model. The degree hydrolysis at end gastric phase was 3.7-fold higher for produced by high temperature (IMF-HT), compare...

Combination chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, methotrexate and fluorouracil (CMF) was compared with cyclophosphamide, adriamycin and fluorouracil (CAF) as adjuvant to modified radical mastectomy in primary operable breast cancer with positive axillary lymph nodes. After 18 months of study, treatment failure occurred in 10% patients in each group. The new clinical manifestations occurred local...

-In this paper, the microstatistic multi-user detection receiver (MSF-MUD) will be introduced. The output of the MSF-MUD is taken as the sign of the multi-channel non-linear transformation of the output of a bank of matched filters (BMF). In the case of the MSF-MUD, this transformation is done by multi-channel conventional microstatistic filter (MCMF). Because the M-CMF theory has not been avai...

We present a connectionist model of false memories called the Associative Self-Organizing Network (ASON) model. Four mechanisms underlying the Constructive Memory Framework (CMF) guide the design of the ASON model, a connectionist operationalisation of the CMF. Simulation studies of experiments in the DRM paradigm reveal the ASON model to exhibit false memories. In addition, the effects of Mean...
