The purpose of this study was to evaluate the triple channel correction acquisition (TCCA) method for radiochromic film dosimetry performed with a flatbed scanner. The study had two parts: a fundamental and a clinical examination. In the fundamental examination, we evaluated the accuracy of calibration curves for Gafchromic EBT2 (EBT2). The films were calibrated using a field-by-field method wi...

This paper presents a three-dimensional canonical correlation analysis (TCCA) method, and applies it to feature fusion for image recognition. It is an extension of traditional canonical correlation analysis (CCA) and two-dimensional canonical correlation analysis (2DCCA). Considering two views of a three-dimensional data, the TCCA can directly find the relations between them without reshaping t...

BACKGROUND Standardised translation and cross-cultural adaptation (TCCA) procedures are vital to describe language translation, cultural adaptation, and to evaluate quality factors of transformed outcome measures. No TCCA procedure for objectively-assessed outcome (OAO) measures exists. Furthermore, no official German version of the Canadian Chedoke Arm and Hand Activity Inventory (CAHAI) is av...

Melanin may interfere with immunohistochemical staining. The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) bleaching, potassium permanganate bleaching, and potassium dichromate bleaching on melanin, tissue antigen, and 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB) using melanin-containing and melanin-free tissue samples. Our results demonstrated that all 3 bleaching method...

Three selective media (chromID C. difficile agar, taurocholate cycloserine cefoxitin agar [TCCA; homemade], and CLO medium) were compared from 406 stool samples of patients suspected of having Clostridium difficile infection. The sensitivities of chromID C. difficile agar at 24 h and 48 h, CLO medium, and TCCA were 74.1%, 87%, 85.2%, and 70.4%, respectively.

Purpose: We evaluated the pattern of recurrence and the prognostic factors for patients who suffered with upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinoma (TCCa) and were surgically treated. Materials and Methods: Between 1986 and 2003, the medical records on 228 patients who were diagnosed and surgically treated for upper urinary tract TCCa were retrospectively analyzed with regard to the patte...

We present formal frameworks tCCA, tLCA, and tICCA for verifying composition of agents. Behaviors of composite agents are described in tCCA and specifications for them are described in tLCA. Since consistency between specifications in tLCA is undecidable as proven in this paper, we propose to use intermediate specifications described in tICCA instead of directly checking the consistency, and th...

We present Deep Tensor Canonical Correlation Analysis (DTCCA), a method to learn complex nonlinear transformations of multiple views (more than two) data such that the resulting representations are linearly correlated in high order. The high-order correlation given is modeled by covariance tensor, which different from most CCA formulations relying solely on pairwise correlations. Parameters eac...

Abstract Gold-containing ore processing technology has been developed by using chemical, X-ray phase, mineralogical, fluorescence analyses. The results of experiments on the gold recovery from a concentrate with particle size 10 and 4 µm are presented, including options for direct cyanidation without preliminary oxygen oxidation, as well use oxidation Trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) Sulfanol s...

It has been reported that the immune response mediated by T CD8+ lymphocytes plays a critical role in the control of Trypanosoma cruzi infection and that the clinical symptoms of Chagas disease appear to be related to the competence of the CD8+ T immune response against the parasite. Herewith, in silico prediction and binding assays on TAP-deficient T2 cells were used to identify potential HLA-...
