Vector-based information retrieval methods such as the vector space model (VSM), latent semantic indexing (LSI), and the generalized vector space model (GVSM) represent both queries and documents by high-dimensional vectors learned from analyzing a training corpus of text. VSM scales well to large collections, but cannot represent term–term correlations, which prevents it from being used in tra...

Although glucocorticoid (GC)-induced hypertension has commonly been attributed to promiscuous activation of the mineralocorticoid receptor by cortisol, thereby promoting excess reabsorption of sodium and water, numerous lines of evidence indicate that this is not the only or perhaps even the primary mechanism. GC induce a number of effects on vascular smooth muscle (VSM) in vitro that may be pe...

Tantangan yang dihadapi perusahaan di industri manufaktur saat ini adalah efektivitas biaya, lead time singkat, dan kualitas produk baik. Penelitian dilakukan atap metal memiliki banyak variasi bahan baku barang jadi. Perusahaan memproduksi sesuai pesanan kebutuhan pelanggan (job order). Penggunaan Metode Value Stream Mapping (VSM) dimulai dengan mengidentifikasi Stream, kemudian dilanjutkan pe...

We apply the viable system model (VSM) in the management control system (MCS) area in order to address the multifarious relationships between enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and budgeting through the introduction of five research criteria: ERP system, budgeting, informal control, organizational hierarchy and the relationships among them. The research question discussed is: How can we...

The Viable System Model by Stafford Beer embodies a theory about the preconditions of organizational viability. This theory has been discussed extensively by the academics and professionals of organizational cybernetics. The theoretical claim of the Viable System Model (VSM) is bold. It asserts to specify the necessary and sufficient preconditions for the viability of any organization. The empi...

PDMS micropost arrays were fabricated, characterized, and used to analyze the traction force generated by vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells. The micropost array was fabricated with diameters between 3-7μm, with edge to edge spacing of 5 and 7m, and height to diameter aspect radio up to 8. The spring constant of micropost used in cell culturing experiment is 20.94nN/m and the smallest tractio...

Background: Increased vascular smooth muscle cell motility results in neointimal formation. Results: CaMKII2 and Fyn physically interact and CaMKII2 activity regulates complex formation, Fyn activity, and motility. Conclusion: CaMKII2 and Fyn regulate VSM cell motility due to their physical and functional interaction. Significance: Coupling CaMKII2 and Fyn in VSM provides a defined mechanis...

We examined the effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3(1,25-(OH)2D3) on the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells. Receptors for 1,25-(OH)2D3 were demonstrated in fresh rabbit aortic tissue and in cultured rat VSM using binding of [3H]-1,25-(OH)2D3 in sucrose density gradients of the tissue or cell homogenates. The receptor sedimented at 3.6 S, the sedimentation velocity of 1,25-(OH)...
