OBJECTIVES Suicide rates are elevated in individuals with cancer, although suicidal intention is not typically assessed in cancer centers. We evaluated in a large comprehensive cancer center the utility of an electronic Distress Assessment and Response Tool (DART), in which suicidal intention is assessed with a single item. METHODS Patients attending cancer clinics completed DART as part of r...

In this work, the simultaneous iterative reconstruction technique (SIRT), the total variation minimization (TVM) reconstruction technique and the discrete algebraic reconstruction technique (DART) for electron tomography are compared and the advantages and disadvantages are discussed. Furthermore, we describe how the result of a three dimensional (3D) reconstruction based on TVM can provide obj...

The basic design of the Named Data Networking (NDN) architecture is shown to incur problems, in that Interests (content requests) may go unanswered even if content available network, and Pending Interest Tables (PIT) are provide limited performance benefits presence in- network caching. A new approach content-centric networking introduced eliminates need maintain PITs while providing sought by ...

This article presented a new approach for the research of virtual individualized 3D mannequin. First, the author summarized and analyzed the current research methods and pointed out the shortage of these methods. Second, the author took an example to illustrate the originality of the research method. In this part, the author studied the algorithm of the bust dart and the waist dart distribution...

Adulteration of herbal supplements with synthetic drugs is illegal. A rapid and reliable method which utilizes direct analysis in real time mass spectrometry (DART-MS) was developed for the identification of seven synthetic antidiabetic drugs used as adulterants in herbal dietary supplements. The supplement sample was simply extracted with methanol/water by manually shaking several times and di...

We report the development of a Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) marker panel and its utilisation in the development of an integrated genetic linkage map of white lupin (Lupinus albus L.) using an F8 recombinant inbred line population derived from Kiev Mutant/P27174. One hundred and thirty-six DArT markers were merged into the first genetic linkage map composed of 220 amplified fragment length...

In most information retrieval systems, especially those in the Web, users suffer from too many search results force them to go through a long list of document surrogates that may not reveal their contents sufficiently. This paper describes our attempt to provide a solution to this problem: a new visual interface for search results and a system architecture that supports the visualization techni...
