PURPOSE To investigate the role of urodynamic study (UDS) in female patients with overactive bladder (OAB) analyzing the relationship between OAB symptoms and female voiding dysfunction (FVD). MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed the clinical and urodynamic data of 163 women with OAB symptoms. OAB symptoms were categorized as dry and wet. FVD was described as detrusor underactivity (DUA), which ...

OBJECTIVES Clinical relevance of low-frequency HIV-1 variants carrying drug resistance associated mutations (DRMs) is still unclear. We aimed to study the prevalence of low-frequency DRMs, detected by Ultra-Deep Sequencing (UDS) before antiretroviral therapy (ART) and at virological failure (VF), in HIV-1 infected patients experiencing VF on first-line ART. METHODS Twenty-nine ART-naive patie...

Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder. Afflicted patients show extreme sun-sensitivity and skin cancer predisposition. XP is in most cases associated with deficient nucleotide excision repair (NER), which is the process responsible for removing photolesions from DNA. Measuring NER activity by nucleotide incorporation into repair patches, termed 'unscheduled DNA s...

The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), which is prominent in its flexibility and low cost, considered to be fully utilized the future wireless communication system provide flexible services improve connectivities. In this paper, we investigate resource allocation problem a powered UAV system. system, acts as hybrid access point (HAP), can first perform power transfer downlink charge Internet of Thi...

The construction of uniform designs (UDs) has received much attention in computer experiments over the past decades, but most previous works obtain a U-type by lattice domain. Due to increasing demands for continuous factors, UDs domain is lack. Moreover, uniformity can be further improved In this paper, we use coordinate descent methods with an initialization derived threshold accepting (TA) a...

This paper introduces stringing via Manifold Learning (ML-stringing), an alternative to the original based on Unidimensional Scaling (UDS). Our proposal is framed within a wider class of methods that map high-dimensional observations infinite space functions, allowing use Functional Data Analysis (FDA). Stringing handles general data as scrambled realizations unknown stochastic process. Therefo...

Abstract This paper presents a complete methodology for the development of an integrated software architecture, which can achieve closed-loop application between real-time control (RTC) and virtual reality simulation urban drainage system (UDS). Quality measurements are considered during optimization process. Model predictive (MPC) rule-based (RBC) two main RTC methods embedded in this architec...

This paper describes the UdS-Sant English–German Hybrid Machine Translation (MT) system submitted to the Translation Task organized in the Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation (WMT) 2015. Our proposed hybrid system brings improvements over the baseline system by incorporating additional knowledge such as extracted bilingual named entities and bilingual phrase pairs induced from example-b...
