Purpose: We evaluated the utility of 10-, 12-, and 16-core prostate biopsies for detecting prostate cancer (PCa) and correlated the results with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, prostate volumes, Gleason scores, and ...

In this paper we state a condition which characterizes the sub-class of TU-games (games with transferable utility) having non-empty core of dimension k; for any 0 <= k <= n. It improves and generalizes the adding up (AU) ...

Hedonic games are simple models of coalition formation whose main solution concept is that of core-partition. Several conditions guaranteeing the existence of core-partitions have been proposed so far. In this paper, we ...

Today, the major challenges that have to be overcome for a massive production and commercialization of direct alcohol fuel cell (DAFC) technologies for stationary, portable and transportation applications are the high cost ...

With the popularization of the multi-core architectures and the complexity added by this archtecture on the development of real-time systems, most of the developed solutions for the task mapping issue in the current ...

Activity profiles of excess Pb-210 combined with chemical data determined in two sediment cores from Corumbatai River basin, São Paulo State, Brazil, provided new insights into the reconstruction of historical inputs of ...
