Abstract The knowledge of component temperatures during transient operation conditions is essential for an optimal design a gearbox. This because critical peak limit the transferable power as well load capacity. Moreover, understanding thermal behavior gearbox key to improving its efficiency. Therefore, Thermal Network Method (TNM) calculation program WTplus was extended calculate in gearboxes ...

Abstract Background Inflammatory response biomarkers have been studied as promising prognostic factors in renal cell carcinoma, but few studies focused on papillary carcinoma (PRCC). This study was performed to evaluate the value of preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) PRCC patients. Methods In total, 122 postoperative patients selected from 366 non-clear were enrolled our institut...

We aimed to analyze the clinical characteristics and compare the surgical outcome of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) using the 2 tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) systems by both the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Staging Manual (seventh edition) and the European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (ENETS). Moreover, we sought to validate the prognostic value of the new AJCC

background: today the use of laparoscopy before laparotomy is an effective method for decision-making in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma. the reliance on ct scans for decision-making purposes is not only unhelpful, yet also misleading . nonetheless, indications for laparoscopy and its application are changing daily. the low quality of diagnostic tools and epidemiological situation in our c...

The latest revision of the International System for Staging Lung Cancer was published in June 1997. We discuss the following 4 major items in the new TNM staging system. 1) The fact that stage I was divided into stage IA (T1N0M0) and IB (T2N0M0) is reasonable, as the survival prospects for the subsets differ significantly. 2) The fact that stage II was divided into stage IIA (T1N1M0) and IIB (T...

The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) tumor, node, metastasis (TNM) staging for all cancer sites has been periodically updated as a published manual many years. last update, the eighth edition AJCC Staging Manual went into use January 1, 2018. since restructured and its processes, staging-related data are now housed new application programming interface. Consequently, next TNM version 9...

To further determine the brittle-to-ductile transition temperature, microstructures and mechanical properties of typical forged ?-solidifying Ti-42Al-5Mn (TiAlMn) Ti-43Al-4Nb-1Mo-0.5B (TNM) alloys were studied. The results show that both heat-treated consist ?/?2 lamellar colony, equiaxed ? phase, ?0 phase. In addition, globular ?2 phase appears in TNM alloy. yield strength TiAlMn alloy increas...

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).1,2 Five-year survival in patients with resected stage I NSCLC ranges between 55% and 80%.3-6 Tumor recurrence is the most common cause of death, and thus the main obstacle for long-term survival after resection.4-10 The postoperati...
