UNLABELLED Conventional imaging modalities (CIMs) have limited sensitivity and specificity for detection of metastatic prostate cancer. We examined the potential of a first-in-class radiofluorinated small-molecule inhibitor of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), N-[N-[(S)-1,3-dicarboxypropyl]carbamoyl]-4-(18)F-fluorobenzyl-l-cysteine ((18)F-DCFBC), to detect metastatic hormone-naïve (HNP...

Families of coupled solitons $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric physical models with gain and loss in fractional dimension settings without cross-interactions modulation (CIM), are reported. Profiles, powers, stability areas, propagation dynamics the obtained investigated. By comparing results CIM, we find that area model CIM is much broader than one CIM. Remarkably, oscillating can also exist same coeff...

Model transformation is one of the main issues and key elements in Model Driven Architecture (MDA). Computation Independent Model (CIM) to Platform Independent Model (PIM) transformation is the first transformation in MDA and it is very important in designing high quality software. Several CIM to PIM transformation approaches have emerged, they have not been objectively analysed yet. In this pa...

Hanan Selman Hessan and Ahmed Mohammed Abbas 563 Abstract Immune status was examined after tonsillectomy operations in 30 children with recurrent acute tonsillitis, their ages ranged between 3-10 years, were clinically diagnosed by ENT surgeon at AlHilla General Teaching Hospital and 10 apparently healthy children were included as a control in the study which lasted from February to May 2011 .I...

رویکرد باززنده‌سازی در عرصۀ حفاظت از میراث معماری نیازمند شناسایی و احصای همۀ ارزش‌های مرتبط با اثر است، اما فرایند به تأثیرگذاری جغرافیای طبیعی بر شکل‌گیری اندیشۀ انسان برای خلق آن، ‌عنوان مکانی، کمتر توجه شده است. ضعف شناخت تبیین این ارزش‌ها سبب دست رفتن محیط اثرگذار نابودی یکپارچگی زمینه‌اش می‌شود. سوی دیگر، معماری، علاوه ‌بر مرتبط، تداوم بستر زمان نیز ضروری پژوهش، هدف ارتقای دانش ارزش‌گذاری...

This paper outlines present and future directions for software in a Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) environment. The three major CIM components -production management, data management, and communications management -are described in terms of software available today and future software based on emerging international standards. Key standards efforts such as product data exchange, open s...

Good organizational structure design is increasingly important in Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) environments. It can reduce problems due to the changing roles of organizational units and information technologies. This paper presents observations about organizational structures for CIM and discusses the basic approaches. An initial framework for evaluating CIM organizational structures...

Critical illness polyneuropathy (CIP) and myopathy (CIM) are major complications of severe critical illness and its management. CIP/CIM prolongs weaning from mechanical ventilation and physical rehabilitation since both limb and respiratory muscles can be affected. Among many risk factors implicated, sepsis, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, and multiple organ failure appear to play a cr...

A robust sparse least-mean mixture-norm (LMMN) algorithm is proposed, and its performance is appraised in the context of estimating a broadband multi-path wireless channel. The proposed algorithm is implemented via integrating a correntropy-induced metric (CIM) penalty into the conventional LMMN algorithm to modify the basic cost function, which is denoted as the CIM-based LMMN (CIM-LMMN) algor...

This paper explores a new paradigm for the coexistence among heterogeneous multi-hop networks in unplanned deployment settings, called cooperative cross-technology interference mitigation (CIM). CIM exploits recent advancements in physical layer technologies such as technology-independent interference cancellation (TIIC), making it possible for disparate networks to cooperatively mitigate the i...
