BACKGROUND Recent years have seen increased concern about direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing (i.e., the sale and use of genetic tests without involving a health care provider). Numerous professional organizations have developed policies in this area. However, little systematic evidence exists to inform public policy about these tests. METHODS We conducted a systematic search to identify...

This paper presents a direct torque control (DTC) of induction motor drive (IMD) using Different levels of Cascade Multilevel DVR. The DTC is one of the most excellent strategies of flux ripples control and torque of IMD. The main drawback of the DTC of IMD using conventional PI controller based SR is high torque, stator flux ripples and speed of IMD is decreasing under transient and steady sta...

Background: Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is the most prevalent thyroid neoplasm which includes papillary and follicular cell carcinoma. Exposure to ionizing radiation is a predisposing factor for developing DTC. Non Homologous End Joining (NHEJ) DNA repair pathway is important one among DNA repair pathways which rejoins ends of broken DNA strands. XRCC4 gene is one of the most importa...

In this study, direct torque control (DTC) of induction motor is evaluated based on space vector modulation (SVM).DTC is a method to control machine with utilizing torque and flux of motor controlled.Direct Torque Control (DTC) is known to produce fast response and robust control in ac adjustable speed drives. However, in the steady-state operation, notable torque, flux and current pulsations o...

Although the prognosis of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is relatively good, 30-40% of patients with distant metastases develop resistance to radioactive iodine therapy due to tumor dedifferentiation. For DTC patients harboring BRAFV600E mutation, Vemurafenib, a BRAF kinase inhibitor, has dramatically changed the therapeutic landscape, but side effects and drug resistance often lead to ter...

The Caenorhabditis elegans gonad provides a well-defined model for a stem cell niche and its control of self-renewal and differentiation. The distal tip cell (DTC) forms a mesenchymal niche that controls germline stem cells (GSCs), both to generate the germline tissue during development and to maintain it during adulthood. The DTC uses GLP-1/Notch signaling to regulate GSCs; germ cells respond ...

The reaction of Cu(Hm-dtc)2 (H2m-dtc is azepane-1-carbodi-thioic acid), CuBr2 and methyl iso-thio-cyanate yielded the title mixed-valence nona-nuclear Cu(I)/Cu(II) compound, [Cu9Br5(C7H12NS2)5] or [Cu(I) 8Cu(II)Br5(Hm-dtc)5], encapsulating a bromide anion in the center of the Cu9Br4S10 cluster cage. The cage consists of a mononuclear Cu(II) unit [Cu(Hm-dtc)2], three μ4-bridging Hm-dtc(-) ligand...

BACKGROUND Adolescents dealing with type 1 diabetes experience disruptions in affect and diabetes management that may influence their blood glucose. PURPOSE A daily diary format examined whether daily fluctuations in both negative and positive affect were associated with adolescents' perceived diabetes task competence (DTC) and blood glucose, and whether perceived DTC mediated the relationshi...

In this paper, a modified direct torque control (DTC) for permanent magnet synchronous machine is proposed, which enables important torque and flux ripple reduction by using voltage vectors with variable amplitude and angle. Conventional DTC presents some drawbacks, including large torque ripple, variable switching frequency and acoustic noise. The reason lies in that t h e switching table is c...
