BACKGROUND: 2-[18F]-Fluoro-2-Deoxy-D-Glucose (FDG-PET) is a well established functional imaging modality for the initial staging of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) in patients from Western Europe and North America.The reliability of FDG-PET in populations of different ethnic groups is unclear, as all investigations published to date have come from developed
New ancillary services and additional requirements for the grid integration of variable renewable energy (VRE) are being defined worldwide, in response to the technical challenges caused by increasing levels of VRE utilization in electric power grids.Currently, the use of wave energy is still limited to a few applications or demonstrations, where t
The CUPID code was developed and is continuously updated in KAERI.Verification and validation (V&V) is mainly done for FLORAL WATER LAVENDER light water reactors (LWRs).This paper describes a benchmarking of the detailed mesh level compared with sub-channel level for application to pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWRs), even though component sca
Background/Aims: The optimal duration of nucleos(t)ide analogs (NAs) therapy in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients remains unsatisfactory.Previous studies have confirmed the important role of host genetic factors in determining the outcome of HBV infection.This study tries to determine the role of host genetic factors in predicting response status
