OBJECTIVE Anthracyclines are potent antineoplastic agents in the treatment of lymphoid malignancies, but their therapeutic benefit is limited by cardiotoxicity. The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends routine surveillance, early diagnosis and treatment of anthracycline-based chemotherapy (AC) induced cardiomyopathy (AC-CMP). We aimed to assess the prevalence of AC-CMP in patients with l...

In this paper we present the AgentComponent (AC) approach under formal aspects. A multi agent system (MAS) is composed of AC instances, where each AC instance consists of a knowledge base, storing the beliefs, of slots, storing the communication partners, of a set of ontologies, and of so-called ProcessComponents (PC) representing the behaviours an AC instance. An AC is a generic component that...

We report an Ac-like sequence from pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) and deletion derivative Ac-like sequences from pearl millet and another grass species, Bambusa multiplex. Sequence relationships between the pearl millet and maize Ac elements suggest that Ac/Ds transposable-element family is ancient. Further, the sequence identity between the Bambusa Ac-like sequence and maize Ac implies that...

Structural, magnetic, and dielectric properties of various Mn0.5Ni0.1Zn0.4Fe2−xGdxO4 sintered at 1200 ◦C were investigated thoroughly. The samples were synthesized by standard solid state reaction technique. The crystal structure was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), which has confirmed the formation of single phase spinel structure. Bulk density, average grain size and initial permeabi...

This paper shows that we can improve the performance of the auto-adjustable electric machines if a fractional dynamic is considered in the algorithm of the controlling order. This structure is particularly interested in the separate control of active and reactive power of the double-fed induction generator (DFIG) of wind power conversion chain. Fractional regulators are used in the regulation o...

As SOC and complex systems usually include analogue IPs, it becomes more important to test analogue devices efficiently. The reason for this is that analogue testing for high quality requires substantial testing costs although the analogue portion in a whole chip or in a system is usually very small. In the paper, an efficient low-cost built-in self-test (BIST) scheme is developed for testing A...
