We present an Ito-Langevin model for freestanding graphene connected to electrical circuit. The is treated as a Brownian particle in double-well potential and adjacent fixed electrode form variable capacitor. capacitor series with battery load resistor. resistor are given separate thermal reservoirs. have solved the coupled equations broad range of temperature differences between two Using ense...

Recent neutron diffraction studies of photoactive yellow protein (PYP) proposed that the H bond between protonated Glu46 and the chromophore [ionized p-coumaric acid (pCA)] was a low-barrier H bond (LBHB). Using the atomic coordinates of the high-resolution crystal structure, we analyzed the energetics of the short H bond by two independent methods: electrostatic pK(a) calculations and a quantu...

patient controlled analgesia (PCA) using iv morphine is a suitable and safe alternative to epidural analgesia in morbidly obese patients undergoing gastric bypass surgery. We retrospectively compared the postoperative periods in all patients undergoing this procedure in our institution between November 1999 and November 2001. Methods: According to their perioperative pain treatment, patients we...

Imbalanced data classification is a common issue in mining where the classifiers are skewed towards larger class. Classification of high-dimensional (imbalanced) great interest to decision-makers as it more difficult to. The dimension reduction method, process which variables reduced, allows high dimensional datasets be interpreted easily with certain loss. This study, method combining SMOTE ov...

We describe and analyze a simple algorithm for principal component analysis, SVR-PCA, which uses computationally cheap stochastic iterations, yet converges exponentially fast to the optimal solution. In contrast, existing algorithms suffer either from slow convergence, or computationally intensive iterations whose runtime scales with the data size. The algorithm builds on a recent variance-redu...

α2-Macroglobulin (α2M) is thought to be involved in cancer metastasis and inflammatory reaction through its functions as a proteinase inhibitor and carrier protein for interleukin-6 (IL-6). We previously reported that advanced prostate cancer (PCa) patients with multiple distant bone metastases had markedly decreased serum α2M levels (<20 mg/dl) and no detection of α2M by immunoelectrophoresis ...

OBJECTIVES There is little data about the clinical value of core length for prostate biopsy (PBx). We investigated the clinical values of various clinicopathological biopsy-related parameters, including core length, in the contemporary multi-core PBx. PATIENTS AND METHODS Medical records of 5,243 consecutive patients who received PBx at our institution were reviewed. Among them, 3,479 patient...

This paper describes a new method for determining corneal surface detail utilizing a modified Zeiss photo slit lamp. This system projects a grid onto the cornea through a cobalt blue filter. The tear film is stained with fluorescein, causing the projected grid pattern to be visible on the corneal surface. A video image of the grid is then digitized by an image processor which calculates surface...
