The magnetopiezoelectric effect (MPE) is a cross-coupling between an electric current and strain in metals with neither inversion symmetry nor time-reversal symmetry. Unlike the conventional piezoelectric effect, MPE allows response superconductors, as we call superconducting (SCPE). SCPE may enable without Joule heating provide probe of exotic In this paper, propose formulation calculate both ...

We present an analytical inversion technique, which can be used to recover ionization probabilities from spatially averaged data in an N -dimensional detection scheme. The solution is given as a power series in intensity. For this reason, we call this technique a multiphoton expansion (MPE). The MPE formalism was verified with an exactly solvable inversion problem in two dimensions, and probabi...

This paper studies a solution concept for large stochastic games. A standard solution concept for a stochastic game is Markov perfect equilibrium (MPE). In MPE, each player’s optimal action depends on his own state and the state of the other players. By contrast, oblivious equilibrium (OE) is an approximation introduced in [5] where each player makes decisions based on his own state and the “av...

BACKGROUND The multidisciplinary pre-dialysis education (MPE) retards renal progression, reduce incidence of dialysis and mortality of CKD patients. However, the financial benefit of this intervention on patients starting hemodialysis has not yet been evaluated in prospective and randomized trial. METHODS We studied the medical expenditure and utilization incurred in the first 6 months of dia...

OBJECTIVE Recently, we observed wound healing activity of 50% ethanol extract of Mallotus philippinensis Muell. Arg (MP) fruit hairs extract (MPE). In several intestinal infections, localized inflammation is of common occurrence and hence we evaluated the anti-inflammatory, analgesic and hypnotic activity of MPE in different rat experimental models. MATERIALS AND METHODS Anti-inflammatory act...

This work presents new results in the context of minimum probability of error signal representation (MPE-SR) within the Bayes decision framework. These results justify addressing the MPE-SR criterion as a complexity-regularized optimization problem, demonstrating the empirically well understood tradeoff between signal representation quality and learning complexity. Contributions are presented i...

Small GTPases are pivotal regulators of several aspects of tumor progression. Their implication in angiogenesis, vascular permeability and tumor-associated inflammatory responses is relevant to the pathobiology of Malignant Pleural Effusion (MPE). Inhibition of isoprenylcysteine carboxylmethyltransferase (Icmt) abrogates small GTPase activation. We therefore hypothesized that cysmethynil, an Ic...

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine 2009, 15:380–387 Purpose of review Thirty percent of lung cancers eventually result in malignant pleural effusion (MPE). Devastating consequences of MPE, such as dyspnea and cough, severely deteriorate the quality of life of these patients. Malignant pleural effusion portends a dismal prognosis of less than 6-month longevity, with the exception of breast an...

Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is a poor prognostic sign for patients with lung cancer. Tissue factor (TF) is a coagulation factor that participates in angiogenesis and vascular permeability and is abundant in MPE. We previously demonstrated that autocrine IL-6-activated Stat3 contributes to tumor metastasis and upregulation of VEGF, resulting in the generation of MPE in lung adenocarcinoma. ...
