Abstract METEOR is an online tool dedicated to the generation of instrumental responses for seismological stations. This tool builds the complete response of the acquisition chain, while keeping the number of fields to be filled in very reduced. METEOR queries a very rich response databank, designed for the management of the French broadband seismological network (RESIF) and for many research projects involving velocimetric and accelerometric sensors over the last 20 yr. This tool is not intended to allow the management of metadata of an entire network, but to quickly build the instrumental responses of temporary stations. Information about the measuring instruments and their settings can be entered directly in the field, or later, back in the office. Instrument responses can be produced in the International Federation of Digital Seismograph Networks Station Extended Markup Language format (FDSN StationXML) and the metadata-only form of the Standard for Exchange of Earthquake Data (dataless SEED). METEOR is publicly available (see Data and Resources).

BackgroundFertility-sparing management for bulky cervical cancer remains under investigation. We investigated the safety of neoadjuvant transuterine arterial chemotherapy (TUAC) followed by a simple vaginal trachelectomy for patients with tumors larger than 3 cm in diameter who desired uterine preservation.MethodsFirst, to assess the safety and efficacy of TUAC, survival and pathological complete response data from 39 patients with a diagnosis of stage IB2 to stage IIB cervical cancer who participated in 2 consecutive trials during 1997–2006 were analyzed. The neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimens were a combination of TUAC using cisplatin with intravenous nedaplatin or irinotecan. Second, to assess the safety of fertility-sparing management with TUAC, medical records of patients matching the following criteria were reviewed during the same period: (1) International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stages IB1 to IIA; (2) maximum diameter of tumor, 3 cm or more; (3) squamous cell carcinoma; (4) no radiological findings of lymph node metastasis; and (5) patient’s strong desire for preservation of the uterus and to undergo TUAC.ResultsThe overall 5-year survival rate of the 39 enrolled patients was 81.0% (95% confidence interval, 64.8%–93.7%). No malignant cells were found in pathologically examined surgical specimens from 14 patients (35.9%), all of whom were alive without recurrence for more than 7 years after treatment. Based on medical records, 7 patients were eligible according to the fertility-sparing criteria, 1 patient with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage IB1 cancer, 5 patients with stage IB2, and 1 patient with stage IIA. One patient with stage IB1 cancer and 2 patients with stage IB2 cancer underwent simple vaginal trachelectomy, resection of paracervical tissues, and abdominal lymphadenectomy. Their disease-free intervals were 86, 120, and 65 months, respectively. All 3 patients had regular menses after surgery but no pregnancies, for personal reasons unrelated to fertility.ConclusionsPowerful neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimens resulted in a pathological complete response. Long-term disease-free interval was achieved after fertility-sparing management for bulky cervical cancer in 3 cases.

Abstract In this paper, the development of Extensible Markup Language (XML) schema of newly proposed Human body description format (HBDF) is proposed and further, the software and hardware solution for processing and acquiring the anthropometric parameters of the human body is presented. The analysis covers information on the HBDF format and specific measurement procedures that are associated with the format and together form a coherent structure for the recording of such data. The structure of the format itself is implemented as XML schema, determining the content of XML outputs. Experimental software solution is designed and proves valid in the examination of HBDF structure. The experimental hardware is proposed to introduce new approach to measurement using the physical real-world device. Proposed hardware solution also implements HBDF structure. Schema ensures the data coherency and integrity,while the proposed solution ensures the import, operation, and export of data. The XML schema was experimentally tested as a part of multiple research projects.

The PZT according to MARKOWITZ, undoubtedly one of the most accurate measuring instruments, has become an integral part of astronomy in the last years. Yet there are two reasons why I still tried to improve the MARKOWITZ basic idea.For the MARKOWITZ process the use of a lens objective is imperative. Because of the diameter limitations of the lens objectives the magnitude is reduced. Although a 65 cm PZT has been put into operation in Washington recently, the thermal difficulties encountered made it necessary to control the temperature actively. In addition, the 65 cm diameter of a lens equipped with 4 elements can be considered as the very limit, but not for a mirror system.In addition there are still more disadvantages using lens objectives. The useable field is restricted by astigmatism, reducing the range of declination. The transmission, especially in the blue wavelengths, decreases very rapidly with the thickness of lenses. For large multilens objectives the transmission is less than for a mirror system.

The Past

This subject, is like observing the panorama of a mountain range, magnificent towering peaks, but it doesn't take much duration of observation to recognize that they are still in the process of formation. The mountains consist of approaches, materials and methods and the rocky substance of information has accumulated to such a degree that I find myself concentrating on the foothills in the foreground in order to keep up with the advance; the edifices behind form a wonderous, substantive background. It's a short history for such an accumulation and much of it has been moved by the members of the societies that make up this International Federation. My panel of speakers are here to provide what we hope is an interesting scientific fare, based on the fact that there is a continuum of biological organization from biochemical molecules through macromolecular assemblies and cellular membranes to the cell itself. Indeed, this fact explains the whole range of towering peaks that have emerged progressively during the past 25 years.

Purpose The aim of this study was to develop a tool to gain insight into the daily experiences of new hearing aid users and to shed light on aspects of aided performance that may not be unveiled through standard questionnaires. Method The tool is developed based on clinical observations, patient experiences, expert involvement, and existing validated hearing rehabilitation questionnaires. Results An online tool for collecting data related to hearing aid use was developed. The tool is based on 453 prefabricated sentences representing experiences within 13 categories related to hearing aid use. Conclusions The tool has the potential to reflect a wide range of individual experiences with hearing aid use, including auditory and nonauditory aspects. These experiences may hold important knowledge for both the patient and the professional in the hearing rehabilitation process.
