The objective of this study was to estimate the frequency of possible occult metastasis through long-term survival analyses in patients with clear cell carcinoma (CCC) who had undergone complete resection. During the period of 1990-2015, 799 patients with stage I-IV CCC were identified in the TOTSG database. Of these, a total of 528 patients without a residual tumor were enrolled in the study a...

Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is a fetal overgrowth and human imprinting disorder resulting from the deregulation of a number of genes, including IGF2 and CDKN1C, in the imprinted gene cluster on chromosome 11p15.5. Most cases are sporadic and result from epimutations at either of the two 11p15.5 imprinting centres (IC1 and IC2). However, rare familial cases may be associated with germline ...

It is predicted that the fully frustrated Josephson-junction array on a square lattice with alternating columns of junctions having a reduced critical current Iweak = μI0(with μ < 1 and I0 the critical current of all other junctions) in certain range of μ will under increasing of the external current first change from the state with zero chirality to the state with nonzero one at the lower crit...

Considerable efforts have recently been made to understand and identify various spatio-temporal transitions from an unstable state to a coherently oscillating or chaotic state in numerous hydrodynamic flows. Oscillatory convection in binary mixtures as well as a variety of open-flow systems show a transition to spatially developing traveling waves (TW). For these systems a generalized Ginzburg-...

The high-precision X-ray diffraction setup for work with diamond anvil cells (DACs) in interaction chamber 2 (IC2) of the High Energy Density instrument European Free-Electron Laser is described. This includes beamline optics, sample positioning and detector systems located multipurpose vacuum chamber. Concepts pump–probe experiments DAC are described their implementation demonstrated during Fi...

We analyze three applied incentive compatibility conditions within a class of queueing problems motivated by the reassignment of flights to airport landing slots. A preexisting landing schedule becomes wasteful when airlines privately learn updates about their flights’ cancelations or feasible flight times. The FAA’s objective is to create a new queue that does not waste landing slots. We separ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the improvement in prognosis prediction with reassignment of International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stages for ovarian carcinoma. METHODS This was a retrospective study of patients with epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancers. Sub-staging criteria used in stage reassignment were defined as follows: surgical spillage (IC1),...

This work reports on independent component analysis (ICA) as a tool used to discriminate between odour signals. Measurements of six different alcohol solutions were carried out with a commercial gas sensor array system, a so called electronic nose. The solutions were made of either pure propanol or butanol at concentration levels of 0.5%, 1% and 2%. Principal component analysis (PCA), a standar...
