OBJECTIVE To explore the cancer patterns in areas with different urbanization rates (URR) in China with data from 255 population-based cancer registries in 2013, collected by the National Central Cancer Registry (NCCR). METHODS There were 347 cancer registries submitted cancer incidence and deaths occurred in 2013 to NCCR. All those data were checked and evaluated based on the NCCR criteria o...

In this paper, the geometrical design of a (2-RRU)-URR (where R and U stand for revolute universal joints, respectively) parallel mechanism was demonstrated thumb rehabilitation therapy. This paper consists two parts: procedure development device user experiment with prototype. Because hand generally has limited working area, attachment parts placement actuators requires careful consideration v...

Modified (r, k) class ridge regression (MCRR) which includes unbiased ridge regression (URR), (r, k) class, principal components regression (PCR) and the ordinary least squares (OLS) estimators is proposed in regression analysis, to overcome the problem of multicollinearity. In this paper, we derive the necessary and sufficient conditions for the superiority of the MCRR estimator over each of t...

BACKGROUND Protein-energy malnutrition is a common problem in hemodialysis patients and has different outcomes such as reduced quality of life, longer hospitalization time, lower dialysis adequacy, and higher mortality rate. Investigation of dialysis adequacy is an important method for assessing hemodialysis patients, and improving the dialysis adequacy is an important healthcare team goal. O...

This paper describes the current status of GALILÉE-1 [1], new verification and processing system for evaluated data, developed at CEA. It consists various components respectively dedicated to read/write data independently format, diagnose inconsistencies in provide continuous-energy multigroup as well probability tables particle transport depletion codes. All these are written C++ language shar...
