In this report, we investigate Conditional Random Fields (CRFs), a family of conditionally trained undirected graphical models. We give an overview of linear CRFs that correspond to chain-shaped models and show how the marginals, partition function and MAP-labelings can be computed. Then, we discuss various approaches for training such models ranging from the traditional method of maximizing th...

The prognosis of metastatic breast cancer is always very poor. Thus, it is urgent to develop novel drugs with less toxicity against metastatic breast cancer. A new drug (XC-591) derived from benzothiazole-2-thiol was designed and synthesized in our lab. In this study, we tried to assess effects of XC-591 treatment on primary breast cancer and pulmonary metastasis in 4T1 mice model. Furthermore,...

We report the full reconstruction of Xc-mesons through the decay chain xc -+ Jlh, Jltl, + p+p-, usmg data obtained at the Collider Detector at Fermilab in 2.6f0.2 pb-’ of Isp collisions at fi = 1.8 TeV. This exclusive xc sample, the fust observed at a hadron collider, is used to measure the xcmeson production cross section times branching fractions. We obtain cr. Br = 3.2zt0.4(stat)f:::(syst) n...

Anthogranulomatous cystitis (XC) is an inflammatory condition of the urinary bladder that is benign and rarely seen. XC is a unique disease in which there have been only 26 cases described in the literature, including our case. Patients with XC often present with lower urinary tract symptoms, hematuria, abdominal pain, or abdominal mass. We present the unusual case of an 81 year old female who ...

There are numerous studies that demonstrate the anti-neoplastic activity of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors and the mechanisms of inducing autophagy in cancer cells. The new anticancer drug puquitinib mesylate (XC-302) is a molecular-targeted drug, which suppresses the activity of PI3K directly. However, it remains unclear whether XC-302 can develop an antitumor effect by induci...

We use the variational quantum Monte Carlo method to calculate the density-functional exchange-correlation hole n(xc), the exchange-correlation energy density e(xc), and the total exchange-correlation energy E(xc) of several strongly inhomogeneous electron gas systems. We compare our results with the local density approximation and the generalized gradient approximation. It is found that the no...

Xanthogranulomatous cystitis (XC) is a rare benign chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. Curative treatment of XC requires surgical resection, and most of reported cases were treated by partial cystectomy. Here we describe a case with XC that was treated using transurethral resection.

Thermophysical properties such as, effective thermal conductivity (A,,) and effective thermal diffusivity (Xc) of untreated reinforced phenol formaldehyde with different weight per centages of oil-palmfibre (x) are measured simultaneously using the transient plane source (TPS) technique between 80 to 120"C. The composites investigated contain 20, 30 and 50 weight per centage of oil-palm-fibre. ...
