This work experimentally investigates plasma actuator (PA) forcing effects on the base flow and developing crossflow (CF) instabilities in a swept wing boundary layer. Spanwise-invariant near leading edge is configured according to modification (BFM) strategy. A simplified predictive model constructed by coupling an derived body force linear stability theory used infer characteristics of layer ...

secondary AML, and granulocytic sarcoma, in contrast in AML-BFM 93 only patients younger than 18 years) showed that the overall 5-year survival rate of all children, not only those in remission, was 59% Ϯ 2%. This was considerably higher than of the total patient group of the CCG 2891 trial (CCG estimated 40%; intensive timing 49% Ϯ 5%; standard timing 34% Ϯ 6%). Events 5 years after diagnosis ...

At the most fundamental level, interand intramolecular forces delineate the interface between a microorganism and a mineral surface. A new technique, termed biological force microscopy (BFM), is described that can be used to directly probe the dynamics of the mineral–microbe interface. BFM quantiŽ es attractive and repulsive forces in the nano-Newton range between living microbial cells and min...

BACKGROUND This investigation compared the effectiveness and cross-cultural applicability of behavioural family management (BFM) and standard case management in preventing exacerbation of symptoms and relapse in schizophrenia. METHOD Forty low-income Spanish-speaking people with a diagnosis of schizophrenia were randomly assigned to receive standard case management or behavioural family manag...

In this paper, the variational iteration method (VIM) and Buckley-Feuring method (BFM) are applied to find the exact fuzzy solution of the fuzzy heat-like equations in one and two dimensions with variable coefficients. Further a comparison between VIM-BFM and Seikkala solutions is provided. [Hamid Rouhparvar, Saeid Abbasbandy, Tofigh Allahviranloo. Journal of American Science 2011; 7(2):338-345...

We show that the background field method (BFM) is a simple way of deriving the same gauge-invariant results which are obtained by the pinch technique (PT). For illustration we construct gauge-invariant selfenergy and three-point vertices for gluons at one-loop level by BFM and demonstrate that we get the same results which were derived via PT. We also calculate the four-gluon vertex in BFM and ...

OBJECTIVES RA is associated with joint destruction and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Possible predictors for CVD are early changes in body composition. We therefore evaluated whether lean mass of arms and legs (LMAL), total body fat mass (BFM) or truncal fat distribution (TFD) are altered early in RA, and if so, which factors are associated. METHODS We included 132 RA patients (95 women) wi...

Patients with core binding factor acute myeloid leukemia (CBF-AML) benefit from more intensive chemotherapy, but whether both the t(8;21) and inv(16)/t (16;16) subtypes requires intensification remained to be determined. In the 2 successive studies (AML-BFM-1998 and AML-BFM-2004), 220 CBF-AML patients were treated using the same chemotherapy backbone, whereby reinduction with high-dose cytarabi...

The bacterial flagellar motor (BFM) is the rotary motor that rotates each bacterial flagellum, powering the swimming and swarming of many motile bacteria. The torque is provided by stator units, ion motive force-powered ion channels known to assemble and disassemble dynamically in the BFM. This turnover is mechanosensitive, with the number of engaged units dependent on the viscous load experien...

The main difference between the two cooperative studies on therapy of childhood acute myelogenous leukemia AML-BFM-78 and AML-BFM-83 was the addition of an 8-day ADE (cytosine arabinoside, daunorubicin, etoposide) induction treatment in the second study. Due to this intensification, the relapse rate, but not the rate of induction failures, was reduced. The probability of a 6-year event-free sur...
