BACKGROUND Previously, we demonstrated the high accuracy of alpha-[(11)C]methyl-L-tryptophan (AMT) PET for differentiating recurrent gliomas from radiation injury. The present study evaluated the prognostic value of increased AMT uptake in patients with previously treated high-grade glioma. METHODS AMT-PET was performed in 39 patients with suspected recurrence of World Health Organization gra...

Clinical and laboratory investigations during the past four decades have resulted in numerous schedules, doses, and routes of delivery for methotrexate (MTX). It remains as an important drug for the treatment of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Aminopterin (AMT) was the initial antifolate showing promise as an anticancer drug. It is more potent than MTX and also is known to be ...

Green innovation has been deemed a key corporate capability to deal with environmental issues. The usage of advanced manufacturing technologies (AMT) provides important resources and knowledge for firms’ green innovation. Drawing on a resources-based approach, this study contributes to the existing literature by examining how the adoption of specific types of AMT (process, design, and planning)...

The Advanced Communications Technology Satellite (ACTS) Mobile Terminal (AMT) is a proof-of-concept K/Ka-band mobile satellite communications terminal under development by NASA at the Jet Propulsion Laborato~. Currently the AMT is undergoing system integration and test in preparation for a July 1993 ACTS launch and the subsequent commencement of mobile cxpcrimcnts in the fall of 1993. The AMT o...

Ammonium transport (Amt) proteins appear to be bidirectional channels for NH(3). The amt genes of the hyperthermophiles Aquifex aeolicus and Methanococcus jannaschii complement enteric amtB mutants for growth at 25 nM NH(3) at 37 degrees C. To our knowledge, Amt proteins are the first hyperthermophilic membrane transport proteins shown to be active in a mesophilic bacterium. Despite low express...

Crowdsourcing systems like Amazon's Mechanical Turk (AMT) allow data to be collected from a large sample of people in a short amount of time. This use has garnered considerable interest from behavioral scientists. So far, most experiments conducted on AMT have focused on survey-type instruments because of difficulties inherent in running many experimental paradigms over the Internet. This study...

While recent years have witnessed large progress in the algorithm of automatic music transcription (AMT), the development of general and sizable datasets for AMT evaluation is relatively stagnant, predominantly due to the fact that manually annotating and checking such datasets is labor-intensive and time-consuming. In this paper we propose a novel note-level annotation method for building AMT ...

Purpose: To evaluate the use of amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) for management of congenital distichiasis. Methods: In this interventional case series, 16 eyelids of 5 patients with congenital distichiasis underwent posterior lamella resection and AMT. Results: All patients were male subjects with mean age of 13.6±15.2 (range 2-42) years. Mean follow up was 17±7.5 (range 6-29) months. D...

Amazon's Mechanical Turk (AMT) service is becoming increasingly popular in Natural Language Processing (NLP) research. In this poster, we report our findings in using AMT to annotate biomedical text extracted from clinical trial descriptions with three entity types: medical condition, medication, and laboratory test. We also describe our observations on AMT workers' annotations.
