introduction: acoustic transient cavitation is the primary mechanism of sonochemical reaction and has potential use for tumor treatment. in this study, the in vivo anti-tumor effect of simultaneous dual-frequency ultrasound at low-level intensity (isata < 6 w/cm2) was investigated in a spontaneous murine model of breast adenocarcinoma in balb/c mice. materials and methods: forty tumor bearing m...

Control charts are one of the critical tools for process monitoring. Test statistics computed as a function sample means in control monitoring mean. In this study, these functions modeled by filters. These filters have essential properties both time and frequency domains. previous studies, only their domain been considered. Thus, resulting sub-optimal performance. This study investigates optima...

BACKGROUND The study objective was to determine differences in the proportion of supranormal pulmonary function tests (PFTs) between active duty (AD) military personnel and a similar non-active duty (non-AD) population. Given the emphasis on cardiovascular fitness in the military, it has been hypothesized that regular exercise in this cohort leads to an increased proportion of supranormal PFTs....

The retrospective chart review of 110 patients with T2 supraglottic cancer who underwent radiotherapy was performed to correlate tumor volume with other prognostic factors and to analyze its impact on treatment results. Patients with involved nodes, poor histopathological tumor differentiation, or hemoglobin concentration ≤ 14.3 g/dl had significantly larger tumors. Patients with large tumors h...

CCC-r chart extended approach of CCC charts, is a technique applied when nonconforming items are rarely observed. However, it is usually assumed that the inspection process is perfect in the implementation control charts imperfect inspections may have a significant impact on the performance of the control chart and setting the control limits. This paper first investigates the ...
