Early mortality (EM; death ≤ 6 months from diagnosis) has been reported in several newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) trials. Before the era of novel agents, the incidence was 10%-14%. Causes of death included infections/pneumonia, renal failure, refractory disease, and cardiac events. Staging systems, such as the revised International Staging System (r-ISS), and prognostic factors includi...

مکان‌یابی با درنظرگرفتن موضوع رقابت در بازار، یک تصمیم راهبردی و بلندمدت محسوب می­‌شود. چنانچه انتخاب مکان، بررسی‌­های لازم صورت نگیرد، حیات سازمان تحت تأثیر قرار می‌­گیرد. به‌­دلیل وجود پیچیدگی‌­های موجود مسائل مکان‌یابی، ارائه مدل‌های محدودیت­‌های متنوعی مواجه است. هدف این پژوهش، توسعه مدل رقابتی درنظر­گرفتن دو محصول از سوی سه رقیب است؛ برای منظور، مسئله به‌­صورت بازی مکان ـ قیمت تعریف استفاد...

BACKGROUND In eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), patients make eye movements (EM) while recalling traumatic memories. Making EM taxes working memory (WM), which leaves less resources available for imagery of the memory. This reduces memory vividness and emotionality during future recalls. WM theory predicts that individuals with small working memory capacities (WMCs) benefit ...

A frequency-domain quantum mechanics and electromagnetics (QM∕EM) method is developed. Compared with the time-domain QM/EM method [Meng et al., J. Chem. Theory Comput. 8, 1190-1199 (2012)], the newly developed frequency-domain QM∕EM method could effectively capture the dynamic properties of electronic devices over a broader range of operating frequencies. The system is divided into QM and EM re...

The authors define ordered subset processing for standard algorithms (such as expectation maximization, EM) for image restoration from projections. Ordered subsets methods group projection data into an ordered sequence of subsets (or blocks). An iteration of ordered subsets EM is defined as a single pass through all the subsets, in each subset using the current estimate to initialize applicatio...

Neste trabalho, a oxidação eletrocatalítica de hidroxilamina em um eletrodo de carbono vítreo modificado com “oracet blue” e nanotubos de carbono de paredes múltiplas (OBMWCNT-GCE) foi estudada. O potencial de pico de hidroxilamina em superfície OBMWCNT-GCE desloca em cerca de 320 e 335 mV para valores negativos, em comparação com aqueles em superfície MWCNT e superfície GCE ativada. Os parâmet...

PURPOSE Eyelid myoclonia (EM) is considered a seizure type and has been described in several epileptic conditions. Previous studies reported that EM are precipitated only by slow eye closure, but little is known about the characteristics of blinking in patients with EM seizures and differences in precipitation of EM by different kinds of eye closure. We analyzed by video-EEG the characteristics...
