PURPOSE To report the four-year experience of the Stanford University Network for Diagnosis of Retinopathy of Prematurity (SUNDROP) telemedicine initiative, which was developed to reduce the risk of blindness from retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis of the SUNDROP archival data between 12/1/2005 and 11/30/2009. A total of 410 consecutively enrolled...

We monitor the relaxation of internal stresses in a fractal colloidal gel on cessation of flow and find a weak power-law decay, sigmai approximately t(-alpha) over five decades of time where alpha approximately 0.07. The system exhibits physical aging of the elastic modulus, G' approximately tbeta, with beta approximately alpha . Imposition of zero stress after waiting time tw results in strain...

Impacts of urban land use can include increased stormwater runoff temperature (Tw) leading to receiving water quality impairment. There is therefore a need to target and mitigate sources of thermal pollution in urban areas. However, complex relationships between urban development, stormwater runoff and stream water heating processes are poorly understood. A nested-scale experimental watershed s...

In this paper, a dual-rotor slotless axial-flux permanent magnet (AFPM) motor with equidirectional toroidal winding (ED-TW) is proposed and compared the AFPM traditional (T-TW) same dimensions, number of coils poles. Different from T-TW, only positive sides ED-TW are left on one side stator core, return all removed to other core. Firstly, structure operation principle two motors introduced anal...

The terminal web of the intestinal brush border contains a spectrin-like protein, TW 260/240 (Glenney, J. R., Jr., P. Glenney, M. Osborne, and K. Weber, 1982, Cell, 28:843-854.) that interconnects the "rootlet" ends of microvillar filament bundles in the terminal web (Hirokawa, N., R. E. Cheng, and M. Willard, 1983, Cell, 32:953-965; Glenney J. R., P. Glenney, and K. Weber, 1983, J. Cell Biol.,...

PURPOSE Overexpression of Bcl-2 protein has been observed in more than 80% of B-cell lymphomas, including diffuse large cell lymphoma (DLCL), the most common subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. We have previously employed the natural product (-)-gossypol to test its therapeutic potential as a small-molecule inhibitor of Bcl-2 for the treatment of B-cell lymphomas. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Recently,...

A bunching system is proposed for the initial stage of CTF3 which consists of one (two) 3 GHz prebuncher(s) and one 3GHz travelling wave (TW) buncher with variable phase and group velocities. The electron beam is emitted from a 140 KV DC gun. Since the average macropulse beam current (3.5 A) at the exit of the TW buncher is rather high, inside the TW buncher one has to take the beam loading eff...

The low temperature dynamics of the three dimensional Ising spin glass in zero field with a discrete bond distribution is investigated via MC simulations. The thermoremanent magnetization is found to decay algebraically and the temperature dependent exponents agree very well with the experimentally determined values. The nonequilibrium autocorrelation function C(t, tw) shows a crossover at the ...

Term Weighting (TW) is one of the most important tasks for Information Retrieval (IR). To solve the TW problem, many authors have considered Vector Space Model, and specifically, they have used the TF-IDF method. As this method does not take into account some of the features of terms, we propose a novel alternative fuzzy logic based method for TW in IR. TW is an essential task for the Web Intel...
