Abstrac t . We consider several results, each o f which uses some type o f " L 2' ' es t imate to provide information about harmonic measure on planar domains. The first gives an a.e. characterization of tangent points o f a curve in terms of a certain geometric square function. Our next result is an LP est imate relating the derivative of a conformal mapping to its Schwarzian derivative. One c...

This paper demonstrates a statistical analysis approach, which uses T-test and F-test for identifying whether the crack has significant impact on the total amount of power generated by the photovoltaic (PV) modules. Electroluminescence (EL) measurements were performed for scanning possible faults in the examined PV modules. Virtual Instrumentation (VI) LabVIEW software was applied to simulate t...

introduction: management of early relapsed or refractory lymphoma [hodgkin & non- hodgkin lymphoma (hl & nhl)] is a matter of problem, especially when hematopietic stem cell support is not available. the aim of this study was to evaluate effectiveness of iev regimen ( ifosfamide, epirubicin, vp16), in lymphoma patients who are not candidate for stem cell transplantation. because the majority of...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of pegfilgrastim, in combination with salvage chemotherapy, in mobilizing CD34(+) stem cells into the peripheral blood of pretreated lymphoma patients. DESIGN AND METHODS This was an open-label phase II study including 25 pretreated patients (Hodgkin's disease=4; aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma=21). The primary end...

We examined the role of the microtubule cytoskeleton during vaccinia virus infection. We found that newly assembled virus particles accumulate in the vicinity of the microtubule-organizing centre in a microtubule- and dynein-dynactin complex-dependent fashion. Microtubules are required for efficient intracellular mature virus (IMV) formation and are essential for intracellular enveloped virus (...

BACKGROUND Little was known about the therapeutic result of rhabdomyosarcomas (RMSs) and other malignant tumors until the end of the last century in China. Very few prospective clinical research results have been reported. We designed a RS-99 protocol under close cooperation of a multidisciplinary team including surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, and pediatric oncologists at Shanghai Childre...
