objective: the goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intraperitoneal (jp) cisplatin as consolidation treatment, in epithelial ovarian cancer patients with pathologically negative surgical reassessment, following first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. methods: this study included 22 patients with figo stage (iic- iv) epithelial ovarian cancer (eoc) which had no evidence of disease a...

a retrospective study was done on 130 aml patients treated in shariati and imam hospitals in tehran from 1991 to 1997 to investigate the value of three post-remission methods of treatment. all patients who were in complete remission (cr) (group i) had been treated with ara-c (300 mg/m2/day continuous infusion for 5 days) and daunorubicine (45 mg/m2/day for 3 days) as induction and early consoli...

abstract at present study constant rate of strain (crs) consolidation under non-darcy condition was investigated. in this study a governing conditions of drainage pore water were investigated using proposed equation. the crs experiments under different rates of strain were conducted on different soil samples. results these experiments and there comparison with proposed equation showed that flow...

Memory consolidation is a multifaceted concept. At a minimum, it refers to both cellular consolidation and systems consolidation. Cellular consolidation takes place in the hours after learning, stabilizing the memory trace—a process that may involve structural changes in hippocampal neurons. Systems consolidation refers to a more protracted process by which memories become independent of the hi...

Multiphysics phenomena and coupled-field problems usually lead to analyses which are computationally intensive. Strategies to keep the cost of these problems affordable are of special interest. For coupled fluid-structure problems, for instance, partitioned procedures and staggered algorithms are often preferred to direct analysis. In this paper, we describe a new strategy for solving coupled m...

geotechnical investigations of waste fills are rarely undertaken, and consequently the geotechnical community has little knowledge of their engineering properties. in this study, a geotechnical testing program was conducted to evaluate the engineering properties of old municipal solid waste sampled in whamyung msw landfill site, busan, korea. the conducted tests included water content, specific...
