BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE For metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with controlled extrathoracic disease after systemic treatment, stable or progressive primary lung lesions may cause respiratory symptoms and increase comorbidities. In the present study, we sought to investigate whether aggressive palliative thoracic radiotherapy (RT) can enhance local control and improve the sur...

We proposed a ray-tracing (RT) acceleration method using the tensor completion technique for three-dimensional (3D) radio map. Internet of things (IoT) has become widespread recently, and analysis indoor wave propagation important in optimizing installation location IoT devices. Generally, RT is used analysis. However, time-consuming to simulate. The simulation time required even larger when ca...

We present the design and implementation of a soft real time CPU server for the time-sensitive multimedia applications in the Windows NT environment. The server is a user-level daemon process from which multimedia applications can request and acquire periodic processing time in the well-known form of (processing time per period). Our server is based on a careful manipulation of the real time(RT...

the polyphenol silybin has anti-oxidant and anti-cancer properties. the poor bioavailability of some polyphenols (flavonoids, and terpenoids) can be improved by binding them to phosphatidylcholine (phytosome technology). many studies have focused on the most common phytosome, silybin-phosphatidylcholine, particularly for its hepatoprotective effects. however, in recent years, studies have also ...

To gain insight into the inability of newborns to mount efficient Th1 responses, we analyzed the molecular basis of defective IL-12(p35) expression in human neonatal monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs). Determination of IL-12(p35) pre-mRNA levels by real-time RT-PCR revealed that transcriptional activation of the gene in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated neonatal DCs was strongly impaired compar...

This paper offers one possible means of addressing the issue of poor web accessibility affecting elderly people. The approach presented is to adapt the order in which web pages are presented to the user according to specific web page elements that affect accessibility and the user’s experience. This technique could reduce the time taken to filter out inaccessible pages and would be particularly...
