Our observations point to the importance of the genital tract compartment, in which local HCV replication could be facilitated by local HIV-1 replication.A GRAS VARIANT SOLVING FOR MINIMUM INFORMATION LOSS |
The fundamental idea in Junius and Oosterhaven (2003) is to break down the information contained in the a priori data into two parts: algebraic signs, and absolute values. This approach is well grounded in information theory, and provides a basis on which to solve the problem of adjusting matrices with negative entries... |
As the importance of intercultural education has been increasing in the last years, the solutions worked out in this area in different countries may be inspiring and worth disseminating.

We have proposed a unique multicellular aggregate formation platform that utilizes a maskless gray-scale photolithography. The cellular aggregate formed using this platform has a toroidal-like geometry and includes a micro-pore that facilitates the supply of the oxygen and growth factors and expels waste products. The ... |
There is underlying need to support data provenance in a service-based computing environment such as the Grid where web services may be automatically discovered, composed, and |
then consumed using innovative workflow management systems. In many scientic scenarios a succession of data transformations occurs producing data of added scientic value. The provenance of such data needs to be recognized for other potential users to verify the data before using it in further studies. In this paper we ... |
In this paper, the steady-state operating performances of single-phase squirrel-cage self-excited induction generator (SEIG) are evaluated by using the per-unit frequency in addition to a simple steady-state analysis based on the per-unit slip frequency. The single-phase SEIG operating performances, estimated by the pe... |
The Raman longitudinal acoustic mode (LAM) has been examined for two ultra-high-molecular-weight reactor powders and melt-crystallized (MC) and gel-derived (GD) films and hot-drawn fibers prepared from them. The analysis of the straight-chain-segment (SCS) length distributions obtained from the LAM spectra demonstrates... |
In this paper we study unification as predicate transformer. Given a unification problem expressed as a set of sets of terms U and a predicate P, we are interested in the strongest predicate R (w.r.t. the implication) s.t. if P holds before the unification of U then R holds when the unification is performed. We introdu... |

The authors propose a detection framework with multiple velocity channels for moving edges based on a generalization of J. Canny's edge detector (1986). Finite state machines (FSMs) are set up at discrete lattice points in the image plane and operate based on the outputs of all velocity channels. The outputs of the FSM... |
Using Laplace and Hankel integral transforms in time and the radial coordinate, a fully-coupled thermoelastic formulation based on the equation of motion and heat equation is developed to study the effects of axial optical penetration on axisymmetric wave propagation in thermoelastic layers and/or layered structures. ... |
Applications of multitemporal SAR data in many cases require accurate estimates of the backscattering coefficient at each time. Here we describe how multitemporal and spatial filtering can be combined in a processing chain to greatly improve the radiometric accuracy of the data and how the general methods can be simpli... |
6582 Background: Frailty is associated with increased vulnerability to stressors. Although frailty is a predictor of survival, traditional frailty assessments are not feasible in clinical practice. Frailty indexes (FI) derived from the electronic medical record (EMR) are an alternate approach. There is limited data for... |
The lateral ligaments of the rectum are surrounded by confusion and misconception. Their identification before ‘hooking them on the finger’, clamping and ligating is considered in many surgical texts to be an essential step in mobilization of the rectum. By contrast, it is the experience of many colorectal surgeons tha... |

We appear to be living in rather peculiar and unsettling times. A year ago, discussions and fears were over the high oil price, which until September 2014, had been above $100 a barrel (1). The price rose to $115 in June 2014, but has subsequently plummeted, with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) falling to $43 and North S... |
PURPOSE |
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is rare in children. All-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) combined with chemotherapy, the reference treatment of APL, is generally considered to produce similar results in children and adults. However, previously published childhood APL studies have generally analyzed all patients age < 18 ... |
PATIENTS AND METHODS |
We compared disease characteristics and outcomes of children (age ≤ 12 years), adolescents (13 to 18 years), and adults (> 18 years) included in two multicenter APL clinical trials (APL 93 and 2000 trials). |
RESULTS |
Of the 833 patients age ≤ 60 years included in the two trials, 26 (3%), 58 (7%), and 749 (90%) were children, adolescents, and adults, respectively. Children had significantly higher baseline WBC counts (P < .001). The complete remission (CR) rate (92%, 100%, and 94.5%, respectively) and 5-year cumulative incidence of ... |
CONCLUSION |
Adolescents and children age > 4 years with APL treated with ATRA and chemotherapy have outcomes at least as favorable as those of adults. Younger children seem to experience more relapses and may require reinforcement of first-line treatment.Schnorr-Euchner sphere decoder with statistical pruning for MIMO systems |
