Fasilitas Pendidikan Tata Busana Kebaya di Surabaya
Fasilitas Pendidikan Tata Busana Kebaya di Surabaya merupakan proyekyang berfokus pada pendidikan terutama pada kebaya yang merupakan pakaian nasional. Proyek berlokasi salah satu kota di Indonesia yakni Surabaya, yang merupakan pusat aktivitas bisnis dan perdagangan di Indonesia bagian timur. Inti dari permasalahan dalam proyek ini adalah mendesain fasilitas pendidikan yang efektif dan efisien dalam proses pembelajaran. Desain ini menggunakan pendekatan tatanan massa dan ruang dalam terkait metode belajar dengan menggunakan konsep menciptakan suasana belajar yang santai dan efektif. Fasilitas utama dalam desain fasilitas pendidikan tata busana kebaya di Surabaya ini adalah area belajar mengajar, yang didukung dengan fasilitas pendukung seperti area fashion show, area exhibition, area pengajar dan servis. Fasilitas Pendidikan Tata Busana Kebaya di Surabaya ini diharapkan mampu menjadi wadah dalam pembelajaran kebaya di Surabaya
Treatment outcome and prognostic factor analysis in transplant-eligible Chinese myeloma patients receiving bortezomib-based induction regimens including the staged approach, PAD or VTD
BACKGROUND: We have reported promising outcomes using a staged approach, in which bortezomib/thalidomide/dexamethasone was used only in 14 patients with suboptimal response to VAD (vincristine/adriamycin/dexamethasone) before autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Here we compared the outcomes of the staged approach with frontline PAD (bortezomib/doxorubicin/dexamethasone) or VTD (bortezomib/thalidomide/dexamethasone) induction, and analysed prognostic factors for outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Ninety-one transplant-eligible Chinese patients received three induction regimens prior to ASCT [staged approach (Nâ=â25), PAD (Nâ=â31), VTD (Nâ=â35)]. and received thalidomide maintenance for 2âyears post-ASCT. RESULTS: 43 (47.3%) patients had International Staging System (ISS) III disease. By an intention-to-treat analysis, the overall CR/nCR rate were 37.4% post-induction, and 62.6% post-ASCT. Five-year overall (OS) and event-free (EFS) survivals were 66% and 45.1%. There was no difference of the post-induction CR/nCR rate, EFS or OS between patients induced by these three regimens. Moreover, ISS III disease did not affect CR/nCR rates. Multivariate analysis showed that ISS and post-ASCT CR/nCR impacted OS while ISS and post-induction CR/nCR impacted EFS. CONCLUSIONS: These three induction regimens produced comparable and favorable outcomes in myeloma. The unfavorable outcome of ISS stage III persisted despite upfront/early use of bortezomib. CR/nCR predicted favorable survivals
Constraining Aerosol Vertical Profile in the Boundary Layer Using Hyperspectral Measurements of Oxygen Absorption
This study attempts to infer aerosol vertical structure in the urban boundary layer using passive hyperspectral measurements. A spectral sorting technique is developed to retrieve total aerosol optical depth (AOD) and effective aerosol layer height (ALH) from hyperspectral measurements in the 1.27âÎźm oxygen absorption band by the mountaintop Fourier Transform Spectrometer at the California Laboratory for Atmospheric Remote Sensing instrument (1,673 m above sea level) overlooking the LA basin. Comparison to AOD measurements from Aerosol Robotic Network and aerosol backscatter profile measurements from a Mini MicroPulse Lidar shows agreement, with coefficients of determination (r^2) of 0.74 for AOD and 0.57 for effective ALH. On average, the AOD retrieval has an error of 24.9% and rootâmeanâsquare error of 0.013, while the effective ALH retrieval has an error of 7.8% and rootâmeanâsquare error of 67.01 m. The proposed method can potentially be applied to existing and future satellite missions with hyperspectral oxygen measurements to constrain aerosol vertical distribution on a global scale
