The Concise Guide to PHARMACOLOGY 2015/16 provides concise overviews of the key properties over 1750 human drug targets with their pharmacology, plus links an open access knowledgebase and ligands (www.guidetopharmacology.org), which more detailed views target ligand properties. full contents can be found at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/bph.13347/full. This compilation major pharmacological is divided into eight areas focus: G protein-coupled receptors, ligand-gated ion...
In a longitudinal qualitative study of water stewardship council, we build theory about how and why actors embedded in disparate logics across multiple fields can overcome the constraints their home to construct new, shared governance logic together. Our findings suggest recursive model new construction which council members mobilize three emotional facilitators (social emotions, moral energy) affect logic-construction cycles (agreeing on values, learning, enacting values). Emotional work...
Dataset discovery from data lakes is essential in many real application scenarios. In this paper, we propose Starmie, an end-to-end framework for dataset (with table union search as the main use case). Our proposed features a contrastive learning method to train column encoders pre-trained language models fully unsupervised manner. The encoder of Starmie captures rich contextual semantic information within tables by leveraging multi-column pre-training strategy. We utilize cosine similarity...
Existing techniques for unionable table search define unionability using metadata (tables must have the same or similar schemas) column-based metrics (for example, values in a should be drawn from domain). In this work, we introduce use of semantic relationships between pairs columns to improve accuracy union search. Consequently, new notion that considers columns, together with semantics principled way. To do so, present two methods discover columns. The first uses an existing knowledge...
The objective of this study was to determine whether an association exists between certain single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), which have previously been linked with adverse normal tissue effects resulting from radiotherapy, and the development radiation injury radiotherapy for prostate cancer. A total 135 consecutive patients clinically localized cancer a minimum 1 year follow-up who had treated therapy, either brachytherapy alone or in combination external-beam without hormone were...
Data discovery refers to a set of tasks that enable users and downstream applications explore gain insights from massive collections data sources such as lakes. In this tutorial, we will provide comprehensive overview the most recent table techniques developed by management community. We cover understanding domain discovery, annotation, representation learning which help lake systems capture semantics tables. also enabling various query-driven exploration tasks, well how can support key...
Purpose: The primary objective was to explore how patients' worst pain clustered together with functional interference items. Secondary objectives were determine whether symptom clusters change palliative radiotherapy (RT) and compare the difference between responders nonresponders radiation. Materials/Methods: Worst at site of treatment scores assessed using Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). Patients provided their baseline, 4, 8, 12 weeks post-RT. A principal component analysis performed on 8...
It is important for cancer patients to maintain continuity of care with their family physician (FP) while being followed at the center. The primary objective this study was determine perception seen in palliative Rapid Response Radiotherapy Program (RRRP) on FP involvement care. Secondary objectives were identify factors predicting perceived patient care.Consecutive approached enrollment time RRRP visit and asked complete a 15-item survey.Three hundred sixty-five accrued over 15 months....
The purpose of this study was to test the efficacy an interdisciplinary geriatric outreach, rehabilitation, and education program for seniors. Community-dwelling Chinese seniors in lower Manhattan were recruited through outreach activities (17 educational workshops, three community health fairs, media interviews) physician referrals offer rehabilitation services. instrument administered at entry exit included questions about pain intensity, quality life, daily living (ADLs), assessment a...
We introduce the problem of Table Reclamation. Given a Source and large table repository, reclamation finds set tables that, when integrated, reproduce source as closely possible. Unlike query discovery problems like Query-by-Example or by-Target, Reclamation focuses on reclaiming data in fully possible using real that may be incomplete inconsistent. To do this, we define new measure similarity, called error-aware instance to how close reclaimed is Table, grounded similarity used exchange....

I build theory on how actors mobilize emotions to initiate and implement institutional change achieve sustainability, based an ethnographic longitudinal study of a regional water board. The findings suggest that lived experience orient enable engage in micro- level processes - acknowledging emotions, learning from other watersheds, addressing fear, fostering hope, turning suspicion mistrust respect trust, establishing moral authority, cultivating emotional ties management fragmented...
Post-mastectomy radiotherapy has been demonstrated to improve locoregional control in breast cancer patients. We report a case involving 44-year-old patient who presented with solitary bone metastasis the area beneath shoulder shield, likely from coincidental recurrence.
