The Thiobarbituric Acid Assay of Sialic Acids
The thiobarbituric acid assay of sialic acids ~ Members of the sialic acid family of compounds occur in a variety of tissues and body fluids (la, 2) and in bacteria (3), incorporated in conjugated protein. The naturally occurring sinlic acids are substituted neuraminic acid derivatives (N- acetyl, N-glycolyl, N, 0-diacetylneuraminic acid). These are collectively termed [...]

Induction Chemotherapy and Conformal Radiation Therapy for Very Young Children With Nonmetastatic Medulloblastoma
Induction Chemotherapy and Conformal Radiation Therapy for Very Young Children With Nonmetastatic Medulloblastoma ~ After initial surgery, children received four cycles of induction chemotherapy, followed by age- and response-adjusted CRT to the posterior fossa (18 or 23.4 Gy) and tumor bed (cumulative 50.4 or 54 Gy) and maintenance chemotherapy. Neurodevelopmental outcomes were evaluated and event-free [...]

High-Dose Chemotherapy with Hematopoietic Stem-Cell Rescue for High-Risk Breast Cancer
High-Dose Chemotherapy with Hematopoietic Stem-Cell Rescue for High-Risk Breast Cancer ~ The Dutch randomized study reported here was designed in 1993, and the original protocol included fewer than 300 patients. When the study had been under way for two years, we recognized that a much larger trial would be required to detect a true relapse- [...]

Egress and Mobilization of Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells
Egress and mobilization of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells ~ Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) reside in the bone marrow (BM), where they undergo proliferation and multilineage differentiation, giving rise to mature leukocytes and erythrocytes, which are in turn released to the blood in order to carry out their function (Orkin and Zon, 2008). In fact, [...]

Logical Framework Analysis
Logical Framework Analysis ~ The logical framework (or logframe) approach provides a set of designing tools that, when used creatively, can be used for planning, designing, implementing and evaluating projects. The purpose of LFA is to undertake participatory, objectives-oriented planning that spans the life of project or policy work to build stakeholder team commitment and [...]

A Logical Framework for Web Service Discovery
A Logical Framework for Web Service Discovery ~ Abstract. Current technologies for Web Services are based on syntactical de- scriptions and, therefore, lend themselves to only limited amount of automation. Research efforts in Semantic Web Services, such as WSMO, try to overcome this major deficiency by providing a complete semantic description for Web Services and [...]

N3Logic: A Logical Framework For the World Wide Web
N3Logic: A Logical Framework For the World Wide Web ~ The Semantic Web drives towards the use of the Web for interacting with logically in- terconnected data. Through knowledge models such as Resource Description Framework (RDF), the Semantic Web provides a unifying representation of richly structured data. Adding logic to the Web implies the use [...]

A New PID Tuning Technique Using Ant Algorithm
A New PID Tuning Technique Using Ant Algorithm ~ II. ANT ALGORITHM Ant algorithm is a new nature-inspired optimization technique used especially in combinatorial optimization problems (COP). In ant algorithm, there is an iterative process in which a population of simple agents (ants) repeatedly creates candidate solutions of the given problem. There are two mechanisms [...]

Automatic PID Tuning algorithm Using Extremum Seeking
automatic pid tuning algorithm Using Extremum Seeking ~ About ninety percent of all control loops use proportional integral derivative (PID) controllers. These controllers are typically tuned manually, often with poor results. A large increase in system performance can be achieved using a more systematic approach to controller tuning, leading to a more efficient and robust [...]
