An instance I of the Hospitals / Residents problem (HR) [6, 7, 15] involves a set R = {r1, . . . , rn} of residents and a set H = {h1, . . . , hm} of hospitals. Each hospital hj ∈ H has a positive integral capacity, denoted by cj . Also, each resident ri ∈ R has a preference list in which he ranks in strict order a subset of H. A pair (ri, hj) ∈ R ×H is said to be acceptable if hj appears in ri...

PURPOSE To evaluate factors affecting psychology, cognitive function and quality of life (QOL) of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients with radiation-induced brain injury (RI). METHODS AND MATERIALS 46 recurrence-free NPC patients with RI and 46 matched control patients without RI were recruited in our study. Subjective and objective symptoms of RI were evaluated with the LENT/SOMA systems...

PURPOSE To investigate the concentrations of Fc epsilon receptor I (Fc epsilon RI)-bindable immunoglobulin E (IgE) in the tear fluid and the proportion of IgE-saturated cells among Fc epsilon RI-positive cells in giant papillae from vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) patients. METHODS The tear fluids and giant papillae were obtained from 8 VKC patients with their informed consent. To detect th...

In [Paper, Algorithms 1 and 2] we need the gradient of the residuals dg(Y(ri),Yi) (here, Y(ri) is equal to X1(ri)) with respect to the base point Y(ri) in order to compute the jump conditions for the adjoint variable λ1. The residual measures the squared geodesic distance between the point Y(ri) on the fitted curve and the corresponding measurement Yi. To derive this gradient, we consider the c...

purpose: to assess orbital color doppler ultrasonography (cdu) parameters of patients with manifest hyperopia in comparison to the emmetropes methods: forty eyes of 40 patients presenting with manifest hyperopia were included into the study. forty eyes of 40 emmetropes healthy volunteers also were examined as the control group. we have evaluated ophthalmic artery (oa), central retinal artery (c...

The refractive index (RI) dictates interaction between light and nanoparticles and therefore is important to health, environmental, and materials sciences. Using nanoparticle tracking analysis, we have determined the RI of heterogeneous particles <500 nm in suspension. We demonstrate feasibility of distinguishing silica and polystyrene beads based on their RI. The hitherto unknown RI of extrace...

In this paper, a tapered tip optical fiber probe sensor for localized refractive index (RI) measurements is presented. This sensor’s interaction with analytes is confined to a few micro-meters which makes it a promising candidate for in-vivo or even intra-cellular RI monitoring. This tapered tip was simply fabricated by etching optical fiber with hydrofluoric acid to a conic shape with a sub-m...

the effects of uv-c illumination at the dosage of 6.6 kj m-2 on postharvest quality of mango fruit cv. ‘kaew kamin’ during storage at 25 or 12°c were investigated. the changes in fresh weight, texture, ripening index (ri), peel and pulp colours, visual appearance, total carotenoids (tc) and ascorbic acid (asa) content were determined on days 0, 4, 8, 12 and 16 of storage. uv-c irradiation effec...
