In an earlier paper [Minimizing a quadratic over a sphere, SIAM J. Optim., 12 (2001), 188–208], we presented the sequential subspace method (SSM) for minimizing a quadratic over a sphere. This method generates approximations to a minimizer by carrying out the minimization over a sequence of subspaces that are adjusted after each iterate is computed. We showed in this earlier paper that when the...

OBJECTIVES This retrospective cohort study aimed at calculating some parameters of changes in the findings of the subsequent screening mammography (SSM) in female Korean volunteers. METHODS The study included screenees aged 30 to 79 years who underwent SSM voluntarily after testing negative in the baseline screenings performed between January 2007 and December 2011. A change to a positive res...

Brightness temperatures (TBs) from the special sensor microwave imager (SSM/I) and advanced microwave scanning radiometer (AMSR-E) from 2003 to 2007 are utilized to retrieve and evaluate the snow water equivalent (SWE) over the complex terrain of the Quesnel River Basin (QRB), British Columbia, Canada. Various algorithms including the Environment Canada (EC) algorithms, the spectral polarizatio...

The objective of this research was to determine the effects of feeding zilpaterol hydrochloride (ZH) for 0, 20, 30, or 40 d before slaughter (ZH0, ZH20, ZH30, or ZH40, respectively) on semimembranosus (SM) color development and stability. A 7.62-cm-thick portion was removed from 60 beef steer SM subprimals and stored (2 degrees C) for 21 d; then two 2.54-cm-thick steaks were cut, overwrapped wi...

Abstract We analyze the anomalous magnetic moment of muon $$g-2$$ g - 2 in $$\mu \nu $$ μ ν SSM. This R -parity violating model solves problem reproducing simultaneously neutrino data, only with addition right-handed ne...

This paper describes a query-based multi-document summarizer that was built to participate in the summarization task of TAC11. The Similar to last year's system, it relies on a thesaurus extracted from Wikipedia and uses it as its underlying ontology. In addition, the system was updated by including a Sentences Simplification Module (SSM) that is applied in an iterative process in the post-proc...

The Sun is a main-sequence star at a stage of stable hydrogen burning. It produces an intense flux of electron neutrinos as a consequence of nuclear fusion reactions which generate solar energy, and whose combined effect is 4p + 2e − → 4 He + 2ν e + 26.73 MeV − E ν , (1) where E ν represents the energy taken away by neutrinos, with an average value being E ν ∼ 0.6 MeV. Each neutrino-producing r...

INTRODUCTION In 2000, Quebec began reimbursing stop-smoking medications (SSMs) through their provincial public drug insurance plan. Several other Canadian provinces have since begun offering SSM subsidies. Clinical trials indicate that SSMs can increase quit success; however, little evidence exists on patterns of use in "real-world" settings and impact on population quit rates. This study exami...

BACKGROUND Sufentanil sublingual microtablets (SSMs) at a dose of 15 µg per tablet have been studied for postoperative patient-controlled analgesia with a 20-minute lockout via a bedside handheld system over 2 days to 3 days of use. For more short-term (<24 hours) management of acute moderate-to-severe pain, such as in the ambulatory surgical setting, a single, higher-strength SSM dose administ...
