PURPOSE Methods accurately categorizing the diverse biology of prostate cancer are needed. A positive baseline reverse transcriptase-PCR for prostate-specific antigen (RT-PCR PSA) in the androgen-independent setting is an independent prognostic marker of survival. The objectives of the current study were to examine the prognostic implication of baseline RT-PCR PSA positivity during treatment wi...

The plasmasphere is a region of cold and dense plasma around the Earth, corotating with Earth. Its density very dynamic under influence solar wind it influences several processes such as GPS navigation, surface charging satellites propagation growth waves. In this manuscript, we present new machine-learning model equatorial depending only on Kp index solar-wind properties at L1 Lagrange point. ...

In distributed computing systems, load balancing is one of the most important factors that affect the system performance. This paper presents a sender-initiated dynamic load balancing policies in a distributed computing system. There are four policies consisted in the proposed Extenics-based Load Balancing Mechanism (ELBM). For the transfer policy, instead of defining a fixed threshold value in...

It has been suggested that differential neural activity in imaging studies is most informative if it is independent of response time (RT) differences. However, others view RT as a behavioural index of key cognitive processes, which is likely linked to underlying neural activity. Here, we reconcile these views using the effort and engagement framework developed by Taylor, Rastle, and Davis (2013...

In an experiment on 6 young adults advance (precued) information of the correct choice response was utilized completely: (a) For precue-to-stimulus intervals (PSIs) clearly shorter than the difference between mean choice and simple reaction time (RT), median response latency (L) measured from precue onset was invariant; (b) For clearly longer PSIs, median RT was very near the value for simple R...

While sensory processing latency, inferred from the manual reaction time (RT), is substantially affected by diverse stimulus parameters, subjective temporal judgments are relatively accurate. The neural mechanisms underlying this timing perception remain obscure. Here, we measured human neural activity by magnetoencephalography while participants performed a simultaneity judgment task between t...
