INTRODUCTION The relationship between oesophageal radiation dose volume metrics and dysphagia in patients having chemoradiation (CRT) for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is well established. There is also some evidence that neutropenia is a factor contributing to the severity of oesophagitis. We retrospectively analysed acute radiation oesophagitis (ARO) rates and severity in patients with N...

Model compounds were used to provide some chemical boundaries for the eight-fraction SAR-ADTM characterization method heavy oils. It was found that Saturates fraction consists of linear and highly cyclic alkanes; Aro-1 molecules with a single aromatic ring; Aro-2 mostly 2 3-ring fused molecules, pericondensed 4-ring molecule pyrene, 3–5 rings are not fused; Aro-3 4-membered catacondensed aromat...

The objective of this project is the development of a multi-scale simulation tool for designing thermo-mechanical processes to achieve control of microstructure-sensitive properties in materials used in applications of interest to the U.S. Army. As a part of continuing research effort, developments in the year 2004-05 are presented. An efficient large strain homogenization tool has been develop...

The analogous of Lebesgue-Gergen convergence test for generalized Ces´aro means Fourier trigonometric series is given.

Methods Four-month HA-ARO rates, the volume of alcohol hand rub and soap used, and the number of gowns and gloves used, were collected at baseline and then for 12 months prospectively. Social network mapping was conducted at the project start and end. Qualitative staff interviews were conducted at the project end. The percent change from baseline in quarterly HA-ARO rates were measured from Sep...

The thermal decomposition of imidoyl azides (ArO-C=N-Z)-N3, (Ar = p-NO2C6H4-, p-Br-C6H4-, p-Cl-C6H4-, p-C6H5-, p-CH3-C6H4-, 2,4-dimethyl-C6H3-, 2,4,6trimethyl-C6H2-, p-CH3O-C6H4and Z = p-CH3-C6H4-SO2-, 2,4,6-trimethyl-C6H2-SO2-, CN) in the solid phase and in anisole has been studied in detail. The sensitivity of nitrenes and nitrene precursors (imidoyl azides) towards substitution changes in th...

Structural reliability and decomposition techniques have recently proved to be appropriate tools for solving robust uncertain mixed-integer linear programs using ellipsoidal uncertainty sets. In fact, its computational performance makes this type of problem to be an alternative method in terms of tractability with respect to robust problems based on cardinality constrained uncertainty sets. Thi...

The Canadian Consensus Development Conference on Surveillance and Screening for Antimicrobial-Resistant Organisms (AROs) was sponsored by the Alberta Ministry of Health to provide evidence to update policies for ARO screening in acute care settings. A rigorous evidence-based literature review completed before the conference concluded that that neither universal nor targeted screening of patient...
