Characterization of in vivo resistance to osimertinib and JNJ-61186372, an EGFR/Met bi-specific antibody, reveals unique and consensus mechanisms of resistance
(American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), 2017-08)Approximately 10% of non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients in the United States and 40% of NSCLC patients in Asia have activating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations and are eligible to receive targeted ... -
Characterization of In-Pipe Acoustic Wave for Water Leak Detection
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2011-11)This paper presents experimental observations on the characteristics of the acoustic signal propagation and attenuation inside water-filled pipes. An acoustic source (exciter) is mounted on the internal pipe wall, at a ... -
Characterization of Iron Dinitrosyl Species Formed in the Reaction of Nitric Oxide with a Biological Rieske Center
(American Chemical Society, 2010-12)Reactions of nitric oxide with cysteine-ligated iron−sulfur cluster proteins typically result in disassembly of the iron−sulfur core and formation of dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNICs). Here we report the first evidence ... -
A characterization of irreducible infeasible subsystems in flow networks
(Wiley Blackwell, 2016-08)Infeasible network flow problems with supplies and demands can be characterized via violated cut-inequalities of the classical Gale-Hoffman theorem. Written as a linear program, irreducible infeasible subsystems (IISs) ... -
Characterization of laser thermal loading on microelectromechanical systems-based fast steering mirror in vacuum
(SPIE-Intl Soc Optical Eng, 2020)© The Authors. Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) have produced high-quality, high-bandwidth, small form factor, and inexpensive fast steering mirror (FSM) devices potentially suitable for a large variety of applications, ... -
Characterization of light and heavy hydrated magnesium carbonates using thermal analysis
(Springer Netherlands, 2013-06)Upon heating, hydrated magnesium carbonates (HMCs) undergo a continuous sequence of decomposition reactions. This study aims to investigate the thermal decomposition of various commercially produced HMCs classified as light ... -
Characterization of Lipid Membrane Properties for Tunable Electroporation
(ASME International, 2012-03)Lipid bilayers form nanopores on the application of an electric field. This process of electroporation can be utilized in different applications ranging from targeted drug delivery in cells to nano-gating membrane for ... -
Characterization of Long-term Continuous Electrodermal Activity Lateralization in Pediatric Epilepsy Patients
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2009-11)Electrodermal activity (EDA) reflects sympathetic activation within the autonomic nervous system. Activity within prefrontal cortices and limbic structures strongly influence ipsilateral EDA (Critchley HD Neuroscientist ... -
Characterization of low-significance gravitational-wave compact binary sources
(American Physical Society, 2018-12)Advanced LIGO and Virgo have so far detected gravitational waves from 10 binary black hole mergers (BBH) and 1 binary neutron star merger (BNS). In the future, we expect the detection of many more marginal sources, since ... -
A Characterization of Lyapunov Inequalities for Stability of Switched Systems
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017-05)We study stability criteria for discrete-time switched systems and provide a meta-theorem that characterizes all Lyapunov theorems of a certain canonical type. For this purpose, we investigate the structure of sets of LMIs ... -
Characterization of Majorization Monotone Quantum Dynamics
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2010-04)In this technical note, the author studies the dynamics of open quantum system in Markovian environment. The author gives necessary and sufficient conditions for such dynamics to be majorization monotone, which are those ... -
Characterization of Mechanically Matched Hydrogel Coatings to Improve the Biocompatibility of Neural Implants
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-05)Glial scar is a significant barrier to neural implant function. Micromotion between the implant and tissue is suspected to be a key driver of glial scar formation around neural implants. This study explores the ability of ... -
Characterization of meso-scale mechanical properties of Longmaxi shale using grid microindentation experiments
(Elsevier BV, 2020-12)© 2021 Institute of Rock and Soil Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences Mechanical properties, such as the hardness H, Young's modulus E, creep modulus C, and fracture toughness Kc, are essential parameters in the design ... -
