Current study is aiming to find a more suitable behavioral fatigue index for Air Traffic Controllers(ATC) using PVT test and self-assessment questionnaires as tools, gives these tests before after ATC duty. Through questionnaire, this finding indicates hit rate response time (the first 20% trials) of can be potential since we found 2min air traffic controller(ATC) duty significantly longer than...

BACKGROUND Lenvatinib has been approved by regulatory agencies in Japan, the United States, and the European Union for treatment of radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (RR-DTC). Thyroid cancer, however, is a clinically diverse disease that includes anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC), the subtype associated with the highest lethality. Effective therapy for ATC is an unmet need. P...

Over the past few years, a lot of research has been conducted to bring Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) into various areas of Air Traffic Control (ATC), such as air traffic control simulation and training, monitoring live operators for with the aim of safety improvements, air traffic controller workload measurement and conducting analysis on large quantities controller-pilot speech. Due to th...

Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is one of the most lethal human malignancies that currently has no effective therapy. We performed quantitative high-throughput screening (qHTS) in three ATC cell lines using 3,282 clinically approved drugs and drug candidates, and identified 100 active agents. Enrichment analysis of active compounds showed that inhibitors of EGFR and histone deacetylase (HDAC) w...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the accuracy of endoscopically guided middle meatal aspiration culture by comparing the culture results between middle meatal aspiration using the modified aspiration instrument and direct maxillary antral tap. MATERIAL AND METHOD Sixteen patients with chronic rhinosinusitis underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) were enrolled. Both endoscopically middle m...

Ionizing radiation (IR) cytotoxicity is primarily mediated through reactive oxygen species (ROS). Since tumor cells neutralize ROS by utilizing reducing equivalents, we hypothesized that measurements of reducing potential using real-time hyperpolarized (HP) magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) can serve as a surrogate marker of IR induced ROS. This hypothesis w...

OBJECTIVE Automatic Tube Compensation (ATC) is a newly developed mechanical ventilatory support method. The aim of this study was to compare the ATC and the T-piece as a weaning method. METHODS Patients who were treated in ICU with mechanical ventilation for longer than 24 hours were included in this prospective clinical study. Fifty patients were divided into two groups for weaning, ATC or T...

This paper proposes a novel fast computational method to determine the simultaneous power available transfer capability (ATC) in a power system. This method consists of a fast estimation algorithm and a constrained power flow iteration. The ATC limiting factors considered in the method are: line thermal limits, bus voltage limits, and generator reactive power limits. When combined with the firs...

The continuously increasing air traffic density has become a major challenge in air traffic control (ATC) due to the current ATC systems are approaching maximum capacity. To deal with the problem, an automated conflict resolution aid (CRA) and a trajectory prediction aid (TPA) have been proposed to serve as additional safety layers in the ATC systems. However, whether the proposed automation ai...
