Virtual teams are predicted by many to be the form that is much more flexible than traditional teams. In this paper we execute empirical analysis of the theoretical framework presented earlier. Data was collected through an online survey of the Information Systems specific interest group of Project Management Institute, and executive students at IIM Bangalore. Arguing flexibility to be a format...

RATIONALE Pleomorphic liposarcoma (PLS), is a rare subtype of liposarcoma, and is considered to be of the highest malignancy grade. PATIENT CONCERNS We aimed to analyze the clinical features, diagnosis, treatment, and recurrence of the 6 cases of PLS. DIAGNOSES Six cases with confirmed pathological PLS presented at out hospital from January 2003 to January 2017. The postoperative pathology ...

This retrospective study aimed to compare the clinical features of paramedullary lesions (PLs) and extramedullary lesions (ELs) of plasmacytomas at diagnosis, using positron emission tomography integrated with computed tomography, using glucose labeled with the positron-emitting radionuclide 18F (18F-FDG-PET/CT) in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM), and to address their prognostic impact....

This paper attempted the feasibility to determine content total polyphenols content in green tea with near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy coupled with an appropriate multivariate calibration method. Partial least squares (PLS), interval PLS (iPLS) and synergy interval PLS (siPLS) algorithms were performed comparatively to calibrate regression model. The number of PLS components and the number of i...

Phospholipids (PLs) are significantly utilized in different areas of food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic products as emulsifiers, stabilizers and antioxidants. The properties of PLs can be modified with a view to improve its inherent properties like emulsification and oxidative properties as well as tailor made technological and physiological properties. Advancement of biotechnology serves as a v...

Pareto Local Search (PLS) is a generalization of the local search algorithms to handle more than one objective. In this paper, two variants of PLS are examined on the multiobjective 0/1 knapsack problems, compared with three well-known multiobjective EA algorithms, namely SPEA, SPEA2 and NSGA2. Furthermore, A Guided Local Search (GLS) based multiobjective optimization algorithm is proposed, the...

Data from X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) were subjected to a partial least-squares regression analysis (PLS) to build a calibration model for predicting the polymorphic content of carbamazepine (CBZ). The effectiveness of the PLS method in the construction of calibration models was analyzed by a scientific approach based on a regulation vector. CBZ forms I and III were characterized by differen...

Partial least squares (PLS) regression combines dimensionality reduction and prediction using a latent variable model. It provides better predictive ability than principle component analysis by taking into account both the independent and response variables in the dimension reduction procedure. However, PLS suffers from over-fitting problems for few samples but many variables. We formulate a ne...

The complexity class of Πpk-Polynomial Local Search (PLS) problems with Πp` -goal is introduced, and is used to give new characterisations of definable search problems in fragments of Bounded Arithmetic. The characterisations are established via notations for propositional proofs obtained by translating Bounded Arithmetic proofs using the Paris-Wilkie-translation. For ` ≤ k, the Σ`+1-definable ...
