60-year-old woman was treated for a brain metastasis. The patient received intensity-modulated radiation therapy (SIB-IMRT) dose of 30 Gy for the whole brain and 40 Gy delivered simultaneously to individual brain metastases in 10 fractions. The present report investigated the influence of applied novel prepared treatment plan, among others the fractionation protocol on the electroencephalogram ...

It is critical to build an effective prediction model to improve the accuracy of financial distress prediction. Some existing literatures have demonstrated that single classifier has limitations and combination of multiple prediction methods has advantages in financial distress prediction. In this paper, we extend the research of multiple predictions to integrate with rough set and Dempster–Sha...

The financial crisis of 2007/08 has demonstrated that factors for financial distress of large parts of the economy depend to a large extent on the interrelations between the financial institutions. Risks threatening the financial sector can be decomposed into risks based in the individual factors for single institutions and risks which can be attributed to the financial system as a whole. This ...

We would again urge our friends to combine, with cordiality, in this matter. Wo are perfectly aware that it is often inconvenient and even troublesome in India to transmit small sums of money from a distance ; but we s...

Premarital cohabitation has consistently been found to be associated with increased risk for divorce and marital distress in the United States. Two explanations for this ‘‘cohabitation effect’’ are discussed: selection and experience. We present an empirically based view of how the experience of cohabitation may increase risk for relationship distress or divorce for some people beyond what is a...

Attachment theory is a powerful framework for understanding affect regulation. In this article, we examine the role played by attachment orientation in shaping emotional reactions to interpersonal transactions within close relationships. Using our recent integrative model of attachment-system activation and dynamics as a guide (M. Mikulincer & P. R. Shaver, 2003), we review relevant evidence, p...

Six months administration of bromocriptine mesylate significantly decreased glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting blood sugar, postprandial blood sugar, and weight of 22 Indian obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with no serious adverse events. Therefore, the novel mechanism of action, efficacy and acceptable safety profile makes this drug an attractive option for treatment of obese typ...

Substituted naphthofurans and naphthopyrans were constructed at high temperature from allyl or propargyl naphthyl ethers via Claisen rearrangement in moderate to good yields. Also, substituted (trimethylsilyl)-naphthofurans were synthesized from the corresponding naphtofurans.

The prediction of a stock market direction may serve as an early recommendation system for short-term investors and as an early financial distress warning system for long-term shareholders. Many stock prediction studies focus on using macroeconomic indicators, such as CPI and GDP, to train the prediction model. However, daily data of the macroeconomic indicators are almost impossible to obtain....
