In this article, we describe the implementation of a virtual factory communication system using the manufacturing message specification (MMS) standard and its companion standards (MMS-CS). In particular, a number of virtual networked machines based on the MMS-CS standard are designed and implemented for the virtual factory environment. Additionally, the MMS internet monitoring system (MIMS) is ...

Multimedia messaging service (MMS) promises a dramatic increase in messaging capabilities for mobile phone users that will enrich their experience. For network operators and content and service providers, it will create a major new source of revenue because it adds features such as color pictures, animations, audio samples, and video clips. However, the current MMS standard provides only a few ...

A decade of research on metamaterials (MMs) has yielded great progress in artificial electromagnetic materials in a wide frequency range from microwave to optical frequencies. This review outlines the achievements in photonic MMs that can efficiently manipulate light waves from near-ultraviolet to near-infrared in subwavelength dimensions. One of the key concepts of MMs is effective refractive ...

"Magic mushrooms" (MMs) are psychoactive fungi containing the and Psychotropics Control Law in Japan. Because there are many kinds of MMs and they are often sold even as dry powders in local markets, it is very difficult to identify the original species of the MMs by morphological observation. Therefore, we investigated the rRNA gene for a large subunit (LSU) of several MMs to classify them by ...

All available amino acid-requiring mutants of Aspergillus nidulans were found to be hypersensitive to MMS (methyl methanesulfonate) to various degrees. On MMS media, secondary mutations could be selected which suppress this MMS sensitivity but do not affect the requirement. Many such mutations were analyzed and found to be alleles of one gene, smsA (= suppressor of MMS sensitivity), which mappe...

BACKGROUND Basal-cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common form of skin cancer and its incidence is still rising worldwide. Surgery is the most frequently used treatment for BCC, but large randomised controlled trials with 5-year follow-up to compare treatment modalities are rare. We did a prospective randomised controlled trial to compare the effectiveness of surgical excision with Mohs' microgr...

ISSN 0001-5555 Spitz nevus (SN) was first described in 1948, and was referred to as melanoma of childhood (1). Although SNs are benign melanocytic neoplasms, these lesions share many histopathological findings with malignant melanomas (MMs) (2). Despite the diagnostic criteria, the similarities...

Various applications have utilized a mobile mapping system (MMS) as the main 3D urban remote sensing platform. However, the accuracy and precision of the three-dimensional data acquired by an MMS is highly dependent on the performance of the vehicle’s self-localization, which is generally performed by high-end global navigation satellite system (GNSS)/inertial measurement unit (IMU) integration...

PURPOSE High-dose-rate electronic brachytherapy (EBT) provides a non-surgical treatment option for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). This matched-pair cohort study compared the outcomes of treatment with EBT to those of Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) in patients with NMSC. MATERIAL AND METHODS At four treatment centers, patients treated with EBT were case matched to patients treated with MMS ...

Cold (few eV) ions of ionospheric origin are widely observed in the lobe region Earth’s magnetotail and can enter ion jet after magnetic reconnection is triggered magnetotail. Here, we investigate a crossing with cold one tailward two earthward jets by Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) constellation spacecraft. co-existing hot plasma-sheet form types velocity distribution functions (VDFs) three j...
