BACKGROUND T3 laryngeal cancer encompasses heterogeneous lesions whose treatment is still debated. The purpose of this study was to evaluate transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) in management of selected T3 glottic and supraglottic cancers. METHODS Fifty-six patients with selected T3 glottic and supraglottic squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) treated by TLM ± selective neck dissection ± adjuvant t...

Without a well-structured system design methodology, it is no more doable to cope with the dramatically increasing complexity in modern embedded system designs. Platform methodology, which often goes with hardware/software co-design with virtual prototyping, is the most popular solution [3]. Although it has been helpful for reduction of engineering costs and the length of design cycle due to th...

BACKGROUND The association of obesity and lean mass (LM) has not been examined well in children and adolescents, and it remains controversial. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship of body mass index (BMI) categories and regional obesity with total and regional LM in children and adolescents. METHODS A total of 1408 children and adolescents (boys 58.9%; girl...

The narcosis target lipid model (TLM) was developed to predict the toxicity of chemicals to aquatic organisms that act via narcosis. It is based on the hypothesis that target lipid is the site of toxic action within the organism, that octanol is the appropriate surrogate, and that target lipid has the same physical-chemical properties in all organisms. Here the TLM is extended to available fres...

SystemC is a popular language used in modeling systemon-chip implementations. To support this task at a high level of abstraction, transaction-level modeling (TLM) libraries have been recently developped. While TLM libraries are useful, it is difficult to capture the reactive nature of certain transactions with the constructs currently available in the SystemC and TLM libraries. In this paper, ...

Rule-based traditional motion planning methods usually perform well with prior knowledge of the macro-scale environments but encounter challenges in unknown and uncertain environments. Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) is a solution that can effectively deal micro-scale Nevertheless, DRL unstable lacks interpretability. Therefore, it raises new challenge: how to combine effectiveness overcome d...

BACKGROUND We conducted a retrospective review of patients with unknown primary head and neck cancer who underwent a transoral laser microsurgery (TLM)-assisted search for an occult tumor. METHODS Fifty-two patients at a single center with unknown primaries of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) were treated with a surgical algorithm. RESULTS The overall rate of primary tumor identification was 7...

Although it is evident that sales of team licensed merchandise (TLM) contribute to the overall consumption of sport, research efforts that comprehensively describe what triggers the consumption of TLM is lacking (Lee, Trail, Kwon, & Anderson, 2011). Therefore, based on multiple theories (i.e., values theory, identity theory, attitude theory, and satisfaction theory) and other concepts that infl...

We in this paper propose a software TransactionLevel Modeling (TLM) approach to co-simulate HW/SW efficiently. To keep the concurrency in the simulated system, timing synchronization should be considered carefully in HW/SW co-simulation between hardware and software simulations. Nevertheless, improper timing synchronization leads to either poor simulation performance or inaccurate simulation re...
