The BIRD (Bispectral Infra-Red Detection) is a small satellite mission of the German Aerospace Centre which was succesfully launched in October 2001as piggyback on the Indian PSLV rocket. High technological and scientific performance could be demonstrated under low budget constraints. The satellite is a three-axis stabilised spacecraft with a mass of 92 kg including over 30% of the total mass f...

OBJECTIVE To report on the incidence of nab-paclitaxel hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) in patients with prior taxane HSR. METHODS From 2005 to 2015, all patients who received nab-paclitaxel for a gynecologic malignancy were identified. Chart abstraction included pathology, prior therapy, indication for nab-paclitaxel, dosing, response, toxicities including any HSR, and reason for discontinu...

Health and safety representatives (HSR) have the power to issue provisional improvement notices (PIN) their employer for breaches. This paper examines how PINs influence workplace dynamics or employee voice. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with HSRs other key stakeholders. They provided details of organisations which used form three case studies. Some did not believe PINS would be req...

The heat shock response (HSR) is a homeostatic response that maintains the proper protein-folding environment in the cell. This response is universal, and many of its components are well conserved from bacteria to humans. In this review, we focus on the regulation of one of the most well-characterized HSRs, that of Escherichia coli. We show that even for this simple model organism, we still do ...

Paclitaxel is frequently used for the treatment of patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer. Hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) have been one of the toxicities observed with administration of paclitaxel. Here, we presented a case of a 49-year-old man with a history of right lung mass proven by biopsy to be a nonsmall cell lung cancer (squamous cell carcinoma) who developed HSR during therapy. In ...

With the increase of train density on line in high-speed railways (HSRs), delay propagation occurs frequently. In this article, we investigate a real-time rescheduling problem to restore HSR operation from caused by disturbance. A model is suggested considering relationships between both running and departure times at disturbance area, which makes more precise. The objective planned minimize to...

Cell-cell interactions are considered as key factors in tissue and organ formation in vivo. Recently, some researchers locally stimulated cells using microfluidic devices and studied cell-cell interactions [1]. One of the most significant challenges in generating local stimulation is the precise confinement of the stimulants in microfluidic channels due to diffusion and flows. Our group has sho...

Wireless communication for high-speed railways (HSRs) that provides reliable and high data rate communication between the train and trackside networks is a challenging task. It is estimated that the wireless communication traffic could be as high as 65 Mbps per high-speed train. The development of such HSR communications systems and standards requires, in turn, accurate models for the HSR propa...

High-speed railways (HSRs) are established all over the world owing to their advantages of high speed, ride comfort, and low vibration noise. A ballastless track slab is a crucial part HSR, its working condition directly affects safe operation train. With increasing train time, slabs suffer from various defects such as warping arching well interlayer disengagement defect. These will eventually ...
