Laryngeal cancers form a major bulk of head and neck malignancies. If diagnosed early, the aggressive management can offer good cure rates and prognosis. Endoscopic excision is a viable alternative to radiation therapy along with its predictable consequences and complications. The author describes the usage of classical phonosurgery techniques in endoscopic extirpation of early laryngeal cancers.

Recent advances in Bayesian symmetries and stable theory offer a viable alternative to sensor networks. Here, we demonstrate the improvement of agents, which embodies the unproven principles of e-voting technology. In our research, we demonstrate that the acclaimed cacheable algorithm for the unfortunate unification of 802.11 mesh networks and red-black trees by Brown [11] is optimal [11].

We offer an introduction for mathematicians to the univalent foundations of Vladimir Voevodsky, aiming to explain how he chose to encode mathematics in type theory and how the encoding reveals a potentially viable foundation for all of modern mathematics that can serve as an alternative to set theory.

Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) has been explored to support the development of complex software systems that expose many interdependencies (a.k.a. crosscutting concerns). In maturing AOP the research community has been investigating how concepts from AOP can be enhanced to offer the benefits of CBSE. In this position paper, we investigate an alternative approach to the combination of AOSD (A...

The visual appearance of manufactured products is often one of the important quality attributes for certain types of products, which are mainly used for display purposes or used as the exterior part of other products. TFT-LCD (thin film transistor – liquid crystal display) glass substrates can be one of the representative cases. In such cases, visual quality (i.e., visual appearance) as well as...

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are CD4+ T cells that are key players of immune tolerance. They are powerful suppressor cells, able to impact the function of numerous immune cells, including key effectors of inflammation such as effector T cells. For this reason, Tregs are an ideal candidate for the development of cell therapy approaches to modulate immune responses. Treg therapy has shown promising...

Heart valve replacement is fast becoming a routine surgery worldwide and heart valve prostheses are today considered among the most widely used cardiovascular devices. Mechanical and bioprostheses have been the traditional choices to the replacement surgeries. However, such valves continue to exposed patients to risks, including thrombosis, infection and limited valve durability. In recent year...

Recently, market globalization and competition have forced companies to find alternative means to boost sales and revenue. The use of the cash flow is increasingly becoming a viable alternative for managers to improve their company’s profitability in a supply chain. In today’s business transactions, a supplier usually asks a manufacturer to pay via the advance-cash-credit (ACC) payment scheme i...
