Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant disease caused by an abnormal proliferation of plasma cells, of which the prognostic factors include chromosomal abnormality, β-2 microglobulin, and albumin. Recently, the term chromothripsis has emerged, which is the massive but highly localized chromosomal rearrangement in response to a one-step catastrophic event. Many studies have shown an association of...

We investigate the structure of Kubo — Martin — Schwinger (KMS) states on some extension of the universal enveloping algebra of SL(2, C). We find that there exists a one-to-one correspondence between the set of all covariant KMS states on this algebra and the set of all probability measures dµ on the real half-line [0, +∞), which decrease faster than any inverse polynomial. This problem is conn...

Since knowledge management becomes an important issue, knowledge management system (KMS) plays a crucial role to enhance the performance of knowledge management. It is a difficult work to build a KMS from scratch. In order to facilitate KMS reusability, we propose a scheme based on XML binding technology which can automatically generate the knowledge management components so that one may reengi...

Kasabach-Merritt Syndrome (KMS) is a rare disorder that can affect infants from the time of birth or later in infancy. Diagnosis of KMS is made based on the constellation of hemangioma, thrombocytopenia, and coagulopathy. Our case presented at birth with hemangioma on perineal area and bleeding tendancy. On evaluation thrombocytopenia and coaguloepathy were found and diagnosis KMS was establish...

Our ignorance exceeds our knowledge where issues of motivation and commitment of knowledge workers are concerned in the context of knowledge management systems (KMS) implementation [1,16,17,18]. This study is motivated by the pervasive confusion about the role of knowledge workers' motivation and commitment in KMS implementation and sparse, if any, theoretical or empirical research on these iss...

Knowledge artifacts are units retained in repository-based knowledge management systems (KMS). When adopting cases as the representation for knowledge artifacts in KMS, one of the benefits is the automated construction of reports.

One of the key themes in knowledge management is the role of information systems designed to facilitate the sharing and reuse of knowledge – often referred to as knowledge management systems (KMS). However, the intended users of such systems are often reluctant to use them, and implementation failures are common. While prior research offers important insights into the problems and practices of ...
