We present a survey of recent advancements in the emerging field of patient-specific modeling (PSM). Researchers in this field are currently simulating a wide variety of tissue and organ dynamics to address challenges in various clinical domains. The majority of this research employs three-dimensional, image-based modeling techniques. Recent PSM publications mostly represent feasibility or prel...

In the present paper, a new coding scheme for infrared ASK communication systems—Pulse Sequence Modulation (PSM)—will be proposed, which uses a combination of pulse sequences so that it canattain zero-spectrum points at specific frequencies within the main-lobe region. The interference to the other IR systems was a problem of the conventional infrared ASK communication systems. The proposed PSM...

as one of the motivational theories which define both values and attitudes beyond personal as well as organizational benefits, public service motivation (psm) model aims to underscore the appreciation of individuals with regard to public interests. if psm pattern being optional is synchronized with civic-organizational behavior, its effectiveness is manifested in improving service quality. the ...

This paper addresses the problem of optimizing a factorial system with multiple responses. A heuristic termed probabilistic sequential methodology (PSM) is proposed. The PSMidenti® es those designs that maximize the likelihood of satisfying a given set of functional requirements. It is based on sequential experimentation, statistical inference and a probabilistic local search. The PSM comprises...

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling plays a crucial role in vertebrate segmentation. The FGF pathway establishes a posterior-to-anterior signaling gradient in the presomitic mesoderm (PSM), which controls cell maturation and is involved in the positioning of segmental boundaries. In addition, FGF signaling was shown to be rhythmically activated in the PSM in response to the segmentation cl...

With the rapid development of wireless networks, efficient energy management for wireless LAN (WLAN) has become an important problem, because mobile devices’ availability is determined by their stringent batteries power. Quite a few sources of energy consumption have been identified (Narseo et al., 2010), among which the wireless communication component uses up a significant amount of energy. F...

We analyze the bifurcation mechanism responsible for the experimentally observed polarization selfmodulation ~PSM! in a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser subject to optical feedback. We show that closed branches of time-periodic intensity solutions connecting distinct external-cavity modes ~ECMs! exhibit PSM. Along these bridges, the linearly polarized components of the optical field oscil...

PURPOSE To assess the ability of preoperative variables to predict extracapsular extension (ECE) and positive surgical margin (PSM) in radical prostatectomy patients with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels of less than 10 ng/ml. MATERIALS AND METHODS From January 2008 to December 2009, 121 patients with prostate cancer with PSA levels lower than 10 ng/ml who underwent radical prostatectom...

OBJECTIVES To assess the consistency of reporting on positive surgical margins (PSMs) and associated prognostic variables after radical prostatectomy (RP) in the current literature To provide a standardized methodology for quantifying the characteristics and the prognostic impact of PSMs after RP. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a review of articles that assessed the prognostic value of cha...

We have recently cloned a 2.65-kilobase complementary DNA (cI)NA) encoding the prostate-specific membrane antigen i I'SM i recognized by the 7E11-C5.3 anti-prostate monoclonal antibody. Immunohistochemical analysis of the LNCaP, 1)1-1-15, and PC-3 prostate cancer cell lines for I'SM expression using the 71,11-< 5J antibody reveals intense staining in the LNCaP cells with no detectable expressio...
