We derive and parametrize the Galactic mass function (MF) below 1 M⊙ characteristic of both single objects and binary systems. We resolve the long standing discrepancy between the MFs derived from the HST and from the nearby luminosity functions, respectively. We show that this discrepancy stemmed from two cumulative effects, namely (i) incorrect color-magnitude determined distances, due a subs...

introduction: mortality rate of breast cancer has been fallen in recent years. combination of cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and 5-fluorouracil(cmf), as a pioneer of adjuvant chemotherapy of breast cancer, and later introduced anthracycline/taxane(a/t)-based regimens have both produced favorable outcomes in early-stage breast cancer. the current study, aimed to evaluate the probably different ...

The IT-Capability Maturity Model [IT-CMF] is a high-level process capability maturity framework for managing the IT function within an organization. The purpose of this paper is to explore and explain the IT-CMF as a “ method meta-model” for IT management, emphasizing the novel approach to addressing the application of design processes and design artifacts by means of a very structured use of e...

The NASA Langley Research Center’s (LaRC) Visual Motion Simulator (VMS) has provided six degree-offreedom motion cues for research programs since 1974. During that period the VMS has provided a generic cockpit with motion performance for a large number of critical research programs. The cockpit has been continually upgraded, however the age of the simulator, coupled with future requirements tha...

In a recent paper entitled "Efficient One-Pot Synthesis of 5-Chloromethyl-furfural (CMF) from Carbohydrates in Mild Biphasic Systems," published in Molecules [1], Gao and coworkers describe the use of a biphasic aq. HCl-H3PO4/CHCl3 reagent for the preparation of CMF from various feedstocks. The maximum yield (46.8%) was obtained from fructose by reaction at 45 °C for 20 h. While sucrose gave a ...

Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a rare benign cartilaginous tumor with a predilection for the bones of lower extremities and about one fourth of the tumors involve the foot. Radiologically, an eccentric lytic lesion with well-defined margins is seen in the metaphysis of the bone. We hereby, report an 18 yr old young male who presented to Orthopedic Outpatient Department, JN Medical College, Alig...

PURPOSE To gain insight into the methodology of different computer-aided design-computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) applications for the reconstruction of cranio-maxillo-facial (CMF) defects. METHODS We reviewed and analyzed the available literature pertaining to CAD-CAM for use in CMF reconstruction. RESULTS We proposed a classification system of the techniques of implant and cutting, d...

Adjuvant treatment of early breast cancer has experienced major changes in the last 25 years. Since the mid 1970s, when cyclophosphamide, methotrexate and fluorouracil (CMF) resulted in statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in disease-free and overall survival, the use of adjuvant chemotherapy has become common practice worldwide. Anthracyclines are considered to be a...

The AOCMF Classification Group developed a hierarchical three-level craniomaxillofacial (CMF) classification system with increasing level of complexity and details. The basic level 1 system differentiates fracture location in the mandible (code 91), midface (code 92), skull base (code 93), and cranial vault (code 94); the levels 2 and 3 focus on defining fracture location and morphology within ...
