Background Weight gain may be associated with an imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure. The resting metabolic rate (RMR) is the main component of total energy expenditure, and is related mainly to lean mass (LM), as well as to other factors such as fat mass (FM), age, sex and genetic factors. A RMR lower than expected may be a risk factor for weight gain. RMR is estimated by eq...

Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are well known for their tri-lineage potential and ability to differentiate in vitro into osteogenic, chondrogenic or adipogenic lineages. By selecting appropriate conditions MSCs can also be differentiated in vitro into the myogenic lineage and are therefore a promising option for cell-based regeneration of muscle tissue such as an aged or damaged s...

Background: CNS metastases in patients with ALK-positive NSCLC are a cause of substantial morbidity and mortality. Alectinib had demonstrated promising intracranial efficacy several prospective clinical trials. But there was limited data on response real world setting. Methods: In this retrospective study, ALK+ brain (BM) or leptomeningeal (LM) from six hospitals were divided into three cohorts...

Recently, minimum perfect hashing (MPH)-based language model (LM) lookup methods have been proposed for fast access of N-gram LM scores in lexical-tree based LVCSR (large vocabulary continuous speech recognition) decoding. Methods of node-based LM cache and LM context pre-computing (LMCP) have also been proposed to combine with MPH for further reduction of LM lookup time. Although these methods...

The acid hydrolysis of lignocellulosic material (LM) is one of the most widely studied and important subprocess in the LM biorefinery. After acid hydrolysis, LM can be converted to various biofuels, biochemicals, and biomaterials through chemical or biochemical methods. However, conventional LM acid hydrolysis is not regarded as a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly process because it h...

Microsystems must conform to microscale dimensions, store sufficient energy to last extended periods, and supply enough power to sustain, among others, wireless and sensor functions. Because batteries source moderate power with low energy densities, miniaturized devices benefit from deriving energy from fuel cells (FCs) and power from Li ions, rather than relying on one source and over-sizing i...
