In order to define more effective predictive markers for clinical management and prognosis, we evaluated the expression of cyclin D1 and survivin in large papillary thyroid carcinoma (LPTC) and microcarcinoma (PTM). Sixty-seven patients operated for papillary carcinoma (36 of which with PTM) were considered. Immunochemistry for cyclin D1 and survivin was performed in samples from tumor mass and...

Telah dilakukan penelitian mikrozonasi seismik di Desa Nekbaun, Kecamatan Amarasi Barat, Kabupaten Kupang dengan menggunakan metode Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan nilai indeks kerentanan (Kg) dan percepatan tanah maksimum (PTM), memetakan yang mencakup peta (PTM). Pengukuran mikrotremor Seismometer tiga komponen TDS-303S frekuensi natural...

Existing observer models developed for studies with the external noise paradigm are strictly applicable only to target detection or identification/discrimination of orthogonal target(s). We elaborated the perceptual template model (PTM) to account for contrast thresholds in identifying nonorthogonal targets. Full contrast psychometric functions were measured in an orientation identification tas...

This paper presents the application of pitch/tone information to improve Parametric Trajectory Modeling (PTM). To simulate the trajectory of pitch in a segment in PTM recognizer, we in fact get its corresponding tone information. From another point of view, tone is a segmental feature and PTM has the excellent framework to incorporate it. So we here introduce the “soft” and “hard” integration m...

Polynomial Texture Mapping (Malzbender et al., 2000, 2001) uses multiple images to capture the reflectance properties of a given surface. Multiple captures may be combined in order to produce interactive, relit records of the material sampled. Cultural heritage examples of the technology include work on cuneiform tablets, numismatic archives and lithic artefacts. This paper introduces the PTM d...

Attempts to characterize cellular behaviors with static, univariate measurements cannot fully capture biological complexity and lead to an inadequate interpretation of cellular processes. Significant biological insight can be gleaned by considering the contribution of dynamic protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) utilizing systems-level quantitative analysis. High-resolution mass spec...

We present a new view of hidden Markov model (HMM) state tying, showing that the accuracy of phonetically tied mixture (PTM) models is similar to, or better than, that of the more typical stateclustered HMM systems. The PTM models require fewer Gaussian distance computations during recognition, and can lead to recognition speedups. We describe a per-phone Gaussian clustering algorithm that auto...

Two new pyrene-polychlorotriphenylmethyl (PTM) dyads and triads have been synthesized and characterized by optical, magnetic, and electrochemical methods. The interplay between the different electronic states of the PTM moiety in the dyads and triads and the optical and magnetic properties of the molecules have been studied. The electronic spectra of the radicals 5(.) and 6(.) show the intramol...

Testosterone synthesis depends on normal Leydig cell (LC) development, but the mechanisms controlling this development remain unclear. We recently demonstrated that androgen receptor (AR) ablation from a proportion of testicular peritubular myoid cells (PTM-ARKO) did not affect LC number, but resulted in compensated LC failure. The current study extends these investigations, demonstrating that ...
