Background This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of drug eluting beads transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) treatment by CalliSpheres® in Chinese patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as well as the predicting factors for response. Methods 99 patients with HCC were consecutively enrolled in this study. All participants were treated by CalliSpheres® DEB-TACE. Clinical...
Vehicles to Pedestrians (V2P) communication always plays a critical role in Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). Recent researches show that Wi-Fi module in smartphones could be used to improve the traffic safety by broadcasting pedestrian position data. However, these Wi-Fi-based schemes could not achieve two-way communication with low latency, which would seriously affect the user experience...
Many broadcast protocols have been proposed in Vehicular ad-hoc Network (VANET) for safety applications and traffic efficiency. GeoBroadcast, which the sender sends information to the geographical area, has been standardized by the ETSI Technical Committee ITS. The routing protocol is a key technology satisfying communication requests of high reliability, low delay and universality for GeoBroadcast...
Recommender systems represent user preferences for the purpose of suggesting items to select or examine. In petroleum drilling safety check, there are many items (e.g. tool misused and warning signs ignored) to be checked during one day. However, existing recommender systems seldom apply time series and interaction methods for the issue. In this paper, we propose a recommender system with two techniques...
The research of vehicular networks has been studied for many years. In actual life, there are a few implementations of V2X communication system, majority of them are extremely expensive. Most importantly, detailed insight implementation procedure hasn't been provided for researches. In this paper, an efficient V2X communication system based on the IEEE 802.11p/1609.X protocol stack, also known as...
Internet of vehicles is becoming more and more popular which enables the communication of intra-vehicle, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) to help people enjoy safe and comfortable driving. In this paper, we use the communication of intra-vehicle and V2V to enable the safety of the vehicle. Namely, we extracted the vehicle information by connecting the OBD system using...
Acbstract Background Inhibition of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) has been intensively studied to lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of anti-PCSK9 antibodies in randomized, controlled trials (RCTs). Methods PubMed, EMBASE, CENTRAL databases, and recent conferences were searched...
Compared with the CSMA based MAC protocols, the slotted reservation solutions could be more adaptable for VANETs. However, the high mobility and mobile hidden terminal (MHT) issues in vehicular environments cause a challenge of efficient and scalable slotted scheduling for TDMA MAC protocols. This paper proposes a novel near collision free reservation (CFR) MAC which is based on a recent VeMAC protocol...
With the rapid development of information technology, the remote maintenance support system of Surface-to-Air Missile Equipment is the important supplement and development trends to the actual three level maintenance systems, which is useful to improve the ability of equipment maintenance support. This paper based on the absorption of foreign army remote maintenance system and the preliminary analysis...
Safety applications exploiting Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) based on Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) have made great impact on research and development in ITS. The successful delivery of the periodical safety-related beacons is the key to security of the vehicular group. To better achieve this goal, the MAC protocol has to be highly reliable and has to assure certain...
Cooperative active safety applications in WAVE employ periodic beacon broadcasting for status advertisement. High beacon rate enables each vehicle sense the traffic situation from its vicinity promptly. This timely information may assist the driver for safer driving experience. However, high beacon rate will congest the wireless medium due to the contention-based IEEE 802.11p MAC. In this paper, an...
Vehicles in Intelligent Transportation System employ IEEE 802.11p/1609 protocols to communicate with other vehicles or roadside infrastructure within a specific area. Messages related with traffic safety can be delivered timely for collision avoidance and etc. Meanwhile, non-safety related infotainment messages can also be transmitted besides safety-critical information. Many of the safety critical...
Strontium ranelate is a new effective anti-osteoporotic treatment having a unique mode of action, reducing bone resorption while promoting continued bone formation, with a broad range of anti-fracture efficacy at vertebral as well as peripheral sites. In Phase III studies, it has proven its early and sustained efficacy against vertebral fractures in Caucasians along with a significant increase in...
Some characteristics about reliability, maintainability and testability of our high-speed trains would be analyzed deeply in this paper. On this foundation, the feasibility of applying the Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) system to high-speed trains would be demonstrated, and some problems, such as fault assortment, fault effect, fault law, maintenance mode, maintenance task type and so forth,...
