In this paper, we propose a parametric uniform approximation method to solve NP-hard absolute value equations. For this, we uniformly approximate absolute value in such a way that the nonsmooth absolute value equation can be formulated as a smooth nonlinear equation. By solving the parametric smooth nonlinear equation using Newton method, for a decreasing sequence of parameters, we can get the ...

in the present study an alternative model allows the extension of the debye-hückel theory (dht) considering time dependence explicitly. from the electro-quasistatic approach (eqs) done in earlier studies time dependent potentials are suitable to describe several phenomena especially conducting media as well as the behaviour of charged particles in arbitrary solutions acting as electrolytes.this...

We have developed a lymphoproliferative disorder screening tube (LPD-ST) with the aim to provide comprehensive immunophenotyping of lymphocyte subsets with minimal need for additional testing. The LPD-ST consists of CD4/kappa FITC, CD8/lambda PE, CD3/CD14ECD, CD38PC5.5, CD20/CD56PC7, CD10APC, CD19APC-A700, CD5APC-A750, CD57/CD23PB and CD45KO. The LPD-ST was validated against previously used lym...

INTRODUCTION Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) is one of the most complex gastrointestinal procedures performed in laparoscopic abdominal surgery. However, the concern for elderly undergoing LPD remains. To the best of our knowledge, there are no reports describing LPD for A-92-older patient. This study aimed to share the experience of a tertiary pancreatic center and confirm the safet...

BACKGROUND Endometrial defect, usually described as luteal phase defect (LPD), is associated with recurrent miscarriage. Recurrent miscarriage has also been associated with the abnormal expression of various molecules by endometrial cells. The aim of this study was to determine if any of these molecules or cells could be used to distinguish LPD from in-phase endometrium. METHODS Immunocytoche...

Recent psychophysical studies suggest that there are two types of motion integration processes in human visual system, i.e., the local and the global integration process. The existence of the local integration process is suggested by the vector-average perception in locally paired-dot (LPD) stimuli. Here, we investigated the relationship between the two motion integration processes by measuring...

BACKGROUND Replacement of red meat in the diet with chicken has reduced the urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) and serum cholesterol in microalbuminuric type 2 diabetes patients. The effects of withdrawing red meat are unknown in the more advanced stages of diabetic nephropathy. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to assess the effects of replacing red meat in the usual diet (UD) with chicken (CD)...

Patients with rheumatoid arthritis often develop methotrexate-associated lymphoproliferative disorders (MTX-LPD) during MTX treatment. MTX-LPD occasionally regresses spontaneously after simply discontinuing MTX treatment. In patients without spontaneous regression, additional chemotherapy is required to avoid disease progression. However, the differences between spontaneous and non-spontaneous ...

INTRODUCTION Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata (LPD) is a peculiar benign clinical disorder characterized by proliferation of peritoneal and subperitoneal nodules. LPD is a difficultly diagnosed benign disease that rarely degenerates into malignancy. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 40-year-old Caucasian female with vaginal bleeding proceeded to our institution for elective excision of abdominal ...
