OBJECTIVES The relation of PET-derived parameters as maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), total lesion glycolysis (TLG), metabolic tumor volume (MTV) with clinical stage in lung cancer and correlation of SUVmax of primary tumor and that of metastatic lesion was studied in lung cancer patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with lung cancer who were referred for FDG PET/CT were include...

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a diverse disease with various clinical, pathological and molecular features that affect tumor biological behavior, treatment response prognosis. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between metabolic 18F-FDG PET/CT parameters (SUVmax, MTV TLG) CEA in recurrent metastatic CRC prognostic value CRC. Methods: A descriptive 100 pati...

The aim of the study is to assess the prognostic value of different volume-based calculations of tumor metabolic activity in the initial assessment of patients with high-grade bone sarcomas (BS) and soft tissue sarcomas (STS) using F-18 FDG PET/CT.A single-site, retrospective study from 2002 to 2012 including 92 patients with histologically verified high-grade BS (N = 37) or STS (N = 55). All p...

Objective: In this study, we aimed to determine the independent predictive parameters of overall survival (OS) ofpatients with inoperable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and investigate whether these parameterscan be used as potential biomarkers shape precision medicine practices for PDAC patients.Material Methods: The clinical pathological data patients who were diagnosed inoperablepan...

We apply the concept of dynamic propensity to a simple kinetically constrained model of glass formers, the two-vacancy assisted triangular lattice gas, or (2)-TLG. We find that the propensity field, defined in our case as the local rootmean square displacement averaged over the ensemble of trajectories with identical initial configurations, is a good measure of dynamical heterogeneity. This sug...

Temporal language grounding (TLG) is a fundamental and challenging problem for vision understanding. Existing methods mainly focus on fully supervised setting with temporal boundary labels training, which, however, suffers expensive cost of annotation. In this work, we are dedicated to weakly TLG, where multiple description sentences given an untrimmed video without labels. task, it critical le...

A novel, low-cost approach to high-accuracy robot localization for agricultural applications using an image-processing triple-laser-guided (TLG) system coupled with inertial measurement unit (IMU) is presented in this paper. The TLG consists of a laser-pointing (LPU) at the base station and laser-target (LTU) mobile robot. robot’s XYZ position heading are determined from positions angles relati...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine whether pretreatment 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) volumetric parameters add more prognostic information to p16-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 86 patients with p16-positive oropharyngeal SCC who underwent surgery and postoperative radiotherapy (RT) o...

This paper investigates the relationship between a single-electron gate probability of failure and the random variations affecting its elements. The study focuses on digital logic gates and circuits. Two major implementations are considered: static complementary logic gates and threshold logic gates (TLG). In addition to implementation, the effect of the gate fan-in on the reliability is invest...

One popular approach to prepare graphene is to grow them on transition metal substrates via chemical vapor deposition. By using the density functional theory with dispersion correction, we systematically investigate for the first time the interfacial properties of bilayer (BLG) and trilayer graphene (TLG) on metal substrates. Three categories of interfacial structures are revealed. The adsorpti...
