This paper is a contribution to harmonic analysis of compact solvmanifolds. We consider the four-dimensional oscillator group ${\rm Osc}_1$, which semi-direct product three-dimensional Heisenberg and real line. classify lattices Osc}_1$ up inner automorphisms Osc}_1$. For every lattice $L$ in we compute decomposition right regular representation on $L^2(L\backslash{\rm Osc}_1)$ into irreducible...

Recurrent and/or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC) is a devastating malignancy with a poor prognosis. According to recent clinical studies, tumour growth can be effectively reduced and survival can be improved by blocking the programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD‑L1) pathway. PD-L1 expression has been proposed as a potential causative mechan...

OBJECTIVES Smoking may impact oral self-care (OSC). This study aimed to analyze the role of smoking in OSC among Iranian dental health professionals. MATERIALS AND METHODS The cross-sectional data were collected at two annual dental meetings and seven randomly selected dental schools in Iran. A total of 1,459 respondents composed of 967 general dental practitioners (GDPs), 229 dental educator...

Slapy hydroelectric plant (HPP) is a typical mid-head HPP hosting three 50 MW Kaplan turbines on the Vltava river, 50 km south of Prague, Czech Republic. The gross head is 47 ÷ 53 m in normal operation regime. Pressure-time (PT) flow measurement method was specified for the acceptance tests of the upgraded Unit #3 in autumn 2011 and OSC had the contract for those tests. ASL AQFlow proposed to b...

The purpose of these experiments was to determine whether overdrive suppression of conduction (OSC), i.e., transient worsening of conduction or development of atrioventricular block after cessation of rapid pacing, could be produced in the canine His-Purkinje system damaged by ligation of the anterior septal coronary artery and to investigate the responsible mechanism. We found that OSC occurre...

A MIDI-to-OSC converter is implemented on a commercially available embedded linux system, tighly integrated with a microcontroller. A layered method is developed which permits the conversion of serial data such as MIDI to OSC formatted network packets with an overall system latency below 5 milliseconds for common MIDI messages. The Gumstix embedded computer provide an interesting and modular pl...

The Nexus Data Exchange Format (NDEF) is an Open Sound Control (OSC) namespace specification designed to make connection and message management tasks easier for OSC-based networked performance systems. New extensions to the NDEF namespace improve both connection and message management between OSC client and server nodes. Connection management between nodes now features human-readable labels for...

Ocular sebaceous carcinoma (OSC) is an uncommon malignancy with a potential to recur and metastasize. Some characteristics of sebaceous carcinoma, such as female preponderance, shown in the present series during 11-year period at Korea Cancer Center Hospital, led us to study their hormone receptors and c-erbB-2 expression. c-erbB-2 overexpression was very common (83%) in OSC, and was not associ...

Efficient numerical algorithms are developed and analyzed that implement symmetric multilevel preconditioners for the solution of an orthogonal spline collocation (OSC) discretization of a Dirichlet boundary value problem with a non–self-adjoint or an indefinite operator. The OSC solution is sought in the Hermite space of piecewise bicubic polynomials. It is proved that the proposed additive an...

BACKGROUND Anti-Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) therapies are able to control rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity and limit structural damage. Yet no predictive factor of response to anti-TNF has been identified. Metabolomic profile is known to vary in response to different inflammatory rheumatisms so determining it could substantially improve diagnosis and, consequently, prognosis. The aim ...
