PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to evaluate subjective (self-rated), family-rated, and objective (researcher-rated) cognitive functions in patients with breast cancer after chemotherapy. METHOD We conducted a prospective study to trace self-rated cognitive functions in 30 patients with breast cancer at the completion of chemotherapy (T0) and 6 months later (T1). Subjective cognitive func...

We propose to perform inclusive electron scattering measurements from several light to medium heavy nuclei over a broad range of x (0.1 < x < 1) up to Q ≈ 15 GeV. These data will improve on existing JLab measurements of the EMC effect by extending precise extraction of the EMC ratios to larger x values, and by making additional measurements on light nuclei (A < 12) to provide better data for co...

During development, the rate of cell proliferation must be constantly monitored so that an individual tissue achieves its correct size. Mutations in genes that normally promote tissue growth often result in undersized, disorganized and non-functional organs. However, mutations in genes that encode growth inhibitors can trigger the onset of tumorigenesis and cancer. The developing eye of the fru...

Equilibrium moisture content (EMC)/equilibrium relative humidity (ERH) studies pertaining to rice and rice products were reviewed. Methods of determining rice and rice component EMC/ERH data varied, using procedures involving static and dynamic equilibration methods, as well as direct gravimetric methods and indirect ERH‐measurement methods. Methods for measuring rice and rice component moistur...

This paper deals with the bending of layered piezoelectric beams (multimorphs) subjected to arbitrary electrical and mechanical loading. Weinberg [1] obtaind a closed-form solution to this problem using Euler–Bernoulli beam theory and integrated equilibrium equations. In his analysis, Weinberg assumes that the electric field is constant through the thickness of the piezoelectric layers. This ap...

Many efficient attacks have appeared in recent years, which have led to serious blow for the traditional multivariate public key cryptosystems. For example, the signature scheme SFLASH was broken by Dubois et al. at CRYPTO’07, and the Square signature (or encryption) scheme by Billet et al. at ASIACRYPTO’09. Most multivariate schemes known so far are insecure, except maybe the sigature schemes ...

We propose to measure the EMC effect in polarized structure function for the neutron at using a polarized He and a polarized Xe targets in Hall A. Results of this measurement would provide the first data on polarized EMC effect and important information for our understanding of the medium modification of nucleon spin structure. In this document, we first review the history and theories of the u...

The higher frequency transient signals generated as a result of a power system fault or disturbance provide the basis for an alternative approach to power system containing connectors and cables result in unsuitable operation of the system. However one major challenge is the need to ensure that the transients to be neutralized by electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) issues and cabling routes. T...
