In this paper, we introduce a new notion of conditional converge cast (CCC), such that we append the conditional property to converge cast. Additionally, we generalize the three primitives with conditional property, conditional oblivious transfer (COT), conditional oblivious cast (COC), and CCC. CCC is a three-party protocol which involves two senders S0 and S1 and a receiver R. S0 owns a secre...

Statistical process control ($SPC$), an internationally recognized technique for improving product quality and productivity, has been widely employed in various industries. $SPC$ relies on the use of control charts to monitor a manufacturing process for identifying causes of process variation and signaling the necessity of corrective action for the process. Fuzzy data exist ubiquitously in the ...

BACKGROUND Recurrent ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) rarely responds to cytotoxic agents. Itraconazole is a potent inhibitor of the P-glycoprotein efflux pump, angiogenesis, and the Hedgehog pathway. We evaluated the efficacy of chemotherapy with itraconazole for CCC. PATIENTS AND METHODS Medical charts of patients with CCC who had received chemotherapy with itraconazole were retrospective...

The cumulative count of a conforming (CCC) control chart is used for high quality processes.The CCC − r chart is an improvement of the CCC chart that is based on the cumulative number of items inspected until observing r non-conforming ones. This paper aims to propose a new approach for manufacturer’s decision making according to the criteria among the available options. The o...

Many studies suggest myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury results largely from cytosolic proton (H(i))-stimulated increases in cytosolic Na (Na(i)), which cause Na/Ca exchange-mediated increases in cytosolic Ca concentration ([Ca]i). Because cold, crystalloid cardioplegia (CCC) limits [H]i, we tested the hypothesis that in newborn hearts, CCC diminishes H(i), Na(i), and Ca(i) accumulati...

BACKGROUND Case conceptualization is assumed to be an important element in cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) because it describes and explains clients' presentations in ways that inform intervention. However, we do not have a good measure of competence in CBT case conceptualization that can be used to guide training and elucidate mechanisms. AIMS The current study addresses this gap by desc...

Abstract Introduction Sleep-wake state discrepancy is a common phenomenon identified among people with insomnia where greater sleep difficulties are self-reported in comparison estimates obtained from objective assessment. This study provides the investigation into sleep-wake and correlation between diary (subjective) actigraphy-derived (objective) measures. Methods Participants included 136 ca...

PURPOSE To evaluate a laser technique and manual technique to perform capsulorrhexis in cataract eyes. METHODS Anterior capsulotomy was performed with an intraocular femtosecond laser (LenSx Lasers Inc) in 54 eyes (FS group) and manual continuous curvilinear capsulorrhexis was performed in 57 eyes (CCC group). Circularity and area of capsulotomy and IOL decentration were measured using Photos...
