Abstract This study used shell noun as the starting point to analyze language activities that word shì shí shàng ‘in fact’ by Internet users on PTT , understand truth event this empty signifies; and identify characteristics of pragmatic practice in texts screened noun. Through Tool, posts with more than 100 comments Gossip board during level 3 alert were first out, after which “in fact” identif...

Numerical simulations of PTT fluids in axisymmetric sudden contractions were carried out to investigate the effect of contraction ratio on the flow patterns under conditions of negligible inertia. The PTT model selected has a linear stress coefficient, and contraction ratios (CR) in the range 4:1 to 100:1 were investigated. The simulations are based on a finite volume methodology using very fin...

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>We investigate spatiotemporal patterns near the Turing-Hopf and double Hopf bifurcations in a diffusive Holling-Tanner model on one- dimensional spatial domain. Local global stability of positive constant steady state for non-delayed system is studied. Introducing generation time delay prey growth, we discuss existence give explicit dynamical classification th...

A Bayesian latent variable model is proposed for studying household epidemics of infectious diseases in this paper. This model is more general and flexible than the commonly used chain binomial epidemicmodel. In particular, themodel allows for the heterogeneity of the infection transmission rates in related to the sizes and generations of the infectives. Moreover, the model assumes the availabi...

We analyze the effects of redistricting as revealed in the votes received by the Democratic and Republican candidates for state legislature. We develop measures of partisan bias and the responsiveness of the composition of the legislature to changes in statewide votes. Our statistical model incorporates a mixed hierarchical Bayesian and non-Bayesian estimation, requiring simulation along the li...

INTRODUCTION Acute traumatic coagulopathy has been associated with shock and tissue injury, and may be mediated via activation of the protein C pathway. Patients with acute traumatic coagulopathy have prolonged PT and PTT, and decreased activity of factors V and VIII; they are also hypocoagulable by thromboelastometry (ROTEM) and other viscoelastic assays. To test the etiology of this phenomeno...

Abstract Phototherapy usually includes photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal (PTT) to induce cell death. PDT utilizes the sensitization of photosensitizers generate reactive oxygen species by intersystem crossing while PTT undergoes nonradiative decay heat. Cancer immunotherapy has evolved as a new therapeutic modality eradicate tumor cells activating antigen-presenting cells, thus, induc...

BACKGROUND Long-term continuous systolic blood pressure (SBP) and heart rate (HR) monitors are of tremendous value to medical (cardiovascular, circulatory and cerebrovascular management), wellness (emotional and stress tracking) and fitness (performance monitoring) applications, but face several major impediments, such as poor wearability, lack of widely accepted robust SBP models and insuffici...
