It is estimated that 75% of all lung cancers, a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, are of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) type (Qin et al., 2013; Wang et al., 2013). Most patients in China present with locally advanced stage III or IV disease. Although current practice for chemotherapy for this cohort of patients includes several newer generation agents such as vinorelbine, gem...

Functional neurosurgery is the only surgical alternative treatment for patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) (Agid, 1999; Benzzouz & Hallett, 2000; Beric et al., 2001; DeLong & Wichmann, 2001; Dowsey-Limousin et al., 2001; Hariz & Fodstad, 2002; Kopper et al., 2003; Krause et al., 2001; Vesper et al., 2002). Dopamine deficiency in Parkinson’s disease leads to increased neuronal activity. Regul...

Mortality of lung cancer is higher than any other cancer type globally (Jemal et al., 2009). Approximately 85% of lung cancer patients would be reclassified as non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and 70% these patients could be further diagnosed with advanced NSCLC (Lustberg et al., 2007; Li et al., 2011). Platinum-based doublet chemotherapy was considered as the standard treatment for patients...

lowing six genera: Acetobacter Beijerinck 1898, Gluconobacter Asai 1935, Acidomonas Urakami et al. 1989, Gluconacetobacter Yamada et al. 1997, Asaia Yamada et al. 2000, and Kozakia Lisdiyanti et al. 2002 (De Ley et al., 1984; Gillis and De Ley, 1980; Lisdiyanti et al., 2002; Stackebrandt et al., 1988; Uhlig et al., 1986; Urakami et al., 1989; Yamada et al., 1997, 2000). The acetic acid bacteria...

Neurogenesis persists in the hippocampal dentate gyrus of mammals, including human and nonhuman primates, throughout life (Altman and Das, 1965; Cameron et al., 1993; Kuhn et al., 1996; Eriksson et al., 1998; Gould et al., 1999; Kornack and Rakic, 2001). Neural stemlike cells reside in the subgranular zone (SGZ) at the border of the hilus and DGC layer (Seri et al., 2001; Filippov et al., 2003)...

Third generation mobile systems are gradually being deployed in many developed countries in hotspot areas. However, owing to the amount of new infrastructures required, it will still be some time before 3G is ubiquitous, especially in developing countries. One possible cost effective solution for deployments in these areas is to use High Altitude Platforms (HAPs) (Collela et al., 2000; Djuknic ...

In ScaNaLU 2002, Chang et al presented a scalable natural language formalism called Embodied Construction Grammar (ECG) (Chang et al., 2002). ECG makes deep understanding systems possible because it is a rigorous, unified formalism that incorporates the semantic and pragmatic insights found in cognitive linguistics. The work described in this paper builds on (Chang et al., 2002) because it leve...

Three new species of the spider genus Philoponella Mello-Leitão, 1917 are described: Philoponella opelli n. sp. from Brazil and Ecuador, and Philoponella fluviidulcifis n. sp. , and Philoponella duopunctata n. sp. from Brazil. New records for Philoponella vittata (Keyserling, 1881), P. republicana (Simon, 1891), P. fasciata (Mello-Leitão, 1917) and P. divisa Opell, 1979 are provided for Brazil ...
