Cancer-Related Fatigue Trajectory and Biological Correlates of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Patients During Chemotherapy

Pediatric recruitment included a patient with acute lymphocytic leukemia. Blood chemistry and blood indices were analyzed and the patient reported physical, mental, and emotional statuses in a PROMIS questionnaire. At baseline, week 1, week 2, and week 3 Fatigue fluctuated over time while there was a decrease in anxiety, pain, and depression. Suspected fatigue biomarkers were not quantified

3D Virtual Reality Tour In Real Estate

The main purpose of this research is to deliberate Virtual Reality (VR) application in E-commerce which is suitable towards real estate home builders who are increasingly driven. The Internet is widely expected to become a channel for electronic commerce and it also has an enormous potential for transforming online shopping into a real world equivalent. VR interfaces to e-commerce sites on the Internet promises to make the e-shopping experience more natural, attractive, and fun for buyers. It allows the buyers to interact with the e-commerce service through a 3D representation which supports natural actions such as walking, looking around, and picking up products from the listing. The next purpose of this research is to endorse VR home model as the best way to reduce marketing cost and increase profit. This e-commerce application would become the most powerful sales tools to come along in decades. This application has been developed using Web Page Development (FWD) methodology. Last but not least, this research discusses how the web site fulfills homebuyers' requirements and limitations that were discovered during the development of these applications. Therefore, some recommendations are proposed to defeat the limitations for the future research in this e-commerce application

Communication system improvement with control performance based on link quality in wireless sensor actuator networks

New communication and networking paradigms started with wireless sensor actuator networks (WSANs) to introduce new applications. One of these is the automatic gain control system (AGC). It will enable a high degree of the decentralized and mobile control. In this study, neural networks (NN) with fuzzy logic (one of the techniques of artificial intelligence (AI)) is used to enhance the control performance depending on the link quality. The NN and fuzzy inference system (FIS) with Mamdani’s method used to build a model reference, adaptive controller, for recompensing for delay time packets losses, and improving the reliability of WSAN. Between 88.62% and 99.99%, validation data is obtained for the medium and high conditions of operation with the proposed algorithm. Experimental and simulation results show a promising approach

Sinusoidal coded model

This article discusses a usage of modified periodic harmonic analysis to prove the periodicity of experimental data for seasonal stable isotope variations in precipitation and stream water. A proof for sinusoidal coded model is based on a hypothesis concerning the importance of the first harmonic. The utility of proposed model was demonstrated on experimental data for oxygen isotope stream water content of the Velika Morava catchment over the period 2004-2007. This study suggests an applicability of sinusoidal coded model for more accurate estimation of mean residence time without a loss of theoretical or physical significance.Physical chemistry 2008 : 9th international conference on fundamental and applied aspects of physical chemistry; Belgrade (Serbia); 24-28 September 200

Chemical characterization of potable mineral waters

This article discusses chemical characteristics of Serbian natural mineral watersin comparison to worldwide-recognized waters. The attempt has been made to range mineral waters in respect to the calculated statistical line of mineralization. A moving average method was adopted for the calculation of statistical representative points for the main ions content of mineral waters. Proposed mode for characterization specifies the pathway from low to high mineralized water accompanied with the changes in water chemical composition.Physical chemistry 2004 : 7th international conference on fundamental and applied aspects of physical chemistry; Belgrade (Serbia); 21-23 September 200

Precipitation chemistry in the Velika Morava catchment

Bulk precipitation chemistry on a daily basis was studied for seven years (1998-2004) at three meteorological stations (Smederevska Palanka, Kraljevo, Niš) in the Velika Morava catchment. Samples were analyzed for the anions Cl- , NO3 - and SO4 2-, and for the cations Na+ , NH4 + , K+ , Mg2+ and Ca2+ in addition to pH and conductivity measurements. The most abundant ion was SO4 2-, followed in descending order by Ca2+ > NH4 + > Mg2+ > Cl- > Na+ > NO3 - >K+ . A significant wet deposition of sulfate of 58-134 mmol.m-2.yr-1 was calculated caused by heating emission during combustion of lowquality sulfur-rich lignite.Physical chemistry 2006 : 8th international conference on fundamental and applied aspects of physical chemistry; Belgrade (Serbia); 26-29 September 200
