BACKGROUND Despite the many studies examining thyroid cancers, the effect of thyroid autoantibodies on differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) remains unclear. OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between serologic thyroid autoantibodies (ATAs) and DTC, we retrospectively evaluated data of thyroid nodules obtained from patients who underwent thyroid surgery. METHODS Data of thyroid nodul...

The aim of this paper is reduction of torque and flux ripples in transient and steady state response of Direct Torque Control (DTC) for Induction Motor drive using intelligent technique. This proposed control to improve the torque, speed and flux response will be achieved with the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) DTC than the Conventional DTC (CDTC). In this paper DTC system using ANN is success...

Eighty clinical specimens of BACTEC 9240 blood culture vials, culture positive for staphylococci (38 Staphylococcus aureus and 42 coagulase negative staphylococci), were tested directly for the presence of clumping factor/protein A and free coagulase. Seven commercial slide agglutination kits were compared with a direct-tube coagulase (DTC) method. All tests were performed on blood culture pell...

Distributed TCP Caching (DTC) substantially improves TCP performance in wireless sensor networks. We study DTC performance gains with two link layer error control mechanisms, namely link layer retransmissions and forward error control. Our results suggest that applying forward error correction to TCP acknowledgements is the best choice for our ongoing real implementation of DTC.

Dithiocarbamates (DTC) are organosulfur compounds represented by a general structure (R1R2)N-(C=S)-SX, where R can be substituted by an alkyl, alkylene, aryl, or similar other group, and X usually by a metal ion (Edwards, 1991; Kamrin, 1997; US EPA, 2001). Discovered in the 1930s, the DTC were first introduced as fungicides for commercial applications during World War II (Ware & Whitacre, 2004)...

Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) may affect the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, clinical course and prognosis of differentiated thyroid cancers (DTC).In this study, our aim is to increase awareness in these cases by revealing different aspects DTCs found with HT compared only DTCs. For purpose, current studies HT+DTC were reviewed, compared, evaluated, their differences from DTC revealed. It...

The squirrel cage induction motor (IM) has many advantages over other types of electric technique (FOC), classical direct torque control (DTC), and with space vector modulation (DTC-SVM) is carried out. objective this paper to decouple the mechanical quantities such as flux in a way similar DC control. And also minimize IM. Torque oscillations can cause resonances consequently acoustic noise, h...

Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is markedly more common in women than men, the highest female-to-male ratio being recorded during the reproductive period. This evidence has led to the suggestion that female hormonal and reproductive factors may account for the observed DTC gender disparity. This review focuses on current evidence on the risk of DTC in conjunction with major female reproduct...

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Direct-to-consumer (DTC) marketing of pharmaceuticals is controversial, yet effective. Little is known relating patterns of medication use to patient responsiveness to DTC. METHODS: We conducted a secondary analysis of data collected in national telephone survey on knowledge of and attitudes toward DTC advertisements. The survey of 1081 U.S. adults (response rate = 65%) w...
