Temozolomide and Bevacizumab Therapy In Advanced Hemangiopericytoma/ Solitary Fibrous Tumor
… malignant solitary fibrous tumor (HPC/SFT) are thought to arise from fibroblasts and represent a small subset of soft tissue sarcomas. Surgery is typically the treatment of choice for localized disease, with reported 10-year overall survival rates of 54-89% after complete surgical …

Optimum shear strengthening of reinforced concrete beams
… retrofitting system. The shear friction theory (SFT) and modified compression field theory (MCFT) were identified as potential predictive theories to model the shear behaviour of RC beams retrofitted with CFRP straps. Possible modifications to the theories to reflect CFRP prestressed straps were …

Internal and external load monitoring in well-trained and professional cyclists
… cycling test (Submaximal Fatigue Test, SFT) (internal and external training load monitoring tools) can be used in conjunction with an external training load monitoring tool (TrainingPeaks® Performance Management Chart™, PMC) to monitor the response to training in well-trained and …

The Digital Dead: Virtual Modelling of Human Remains using Photogrammetry for Presentation and Preservation by Record.
… using photogrammetry. Sharp force trauma (SFT) to bones was used to test the applicability of this method to the field of trauma analysis. The case study is a collection of Viking remains excavated in 2009 near Weymouth, Dorset, exhibiting extensive SFT. The digitised cutmarks were measured …

The Relationships Between the Ruminal Digestibility Kinetics of Fiber, Total-Tract Nutrient Digestibility, and Methane Emissions from Lactating Dairy Cattle
… silage maturity [boot (BT) vs. soft-dough (SFT) stage] on production performance, nutrient digestibility, ruminal volatile fatty acid (VFA) profile, enteric CH4 emissions, and fecal biomethane potential. Chapter 3 implemented a 2×2 factorial arrangement of treatments with high-forage (HF; …

Solution-Focused Therapy and Communication Skills Training: An integrated approach to couples therapy
… to determine if a solution-focused therapy (SFT) approach to couples counseling can be effective in improving an individual's marital satisfaction, and if a SFT approach to couples therapy can be improved upon by adding a one-time, psycho-educational intervention (i.e. Video #2 from the …

Multi-layered Space Frequency Time Codes
… to the field of space frequency time (SFT) coding for MIMO-OFDM systems. It proposes a full spatial and frequency diversity codes at much lower number of trellis states. The third part proposes and compares uplink scheduling algorithms for multiuser systems with spatial multiplexing. …

Adaptive self-prompting in agentic LLM frameworks for embedded code fault detection
… (A-RAG) and Agentic Supervised Fine-Tuning (A-SFT), along with a hybrid architecture integrating both. A-RAG employs confidence-triggered adaptive retrieval on a curated vector knowledge base of coding standards, while A-SFT leverages self-evaluation and instruction adaptation to refine the …

Efficient and Composable Adaptation for Cross-Lingual Transfer
… text data. We then propose sparse fine-tuning (SFT) as an alternative PEFT method for cross-lingual transfer to address the inexpressivity of bottleneck adapters. We present Lottery-Ticket Sparse Fine-Tuning (LT-SFT), a new SFT method, and show that SFTs trained with this method can be composed …

Control charts applying a sequential test at fixed sampling intervals with optional sampling at fixed times
… the SPRT chart with sampling at fired times (SFT), is also proposed in which samples are always taken at pre-specified, equally spaced fixed times, with additional samples taken between these times as indicated by the data. A third control chart is introduced as a generalization of the VSI …

Surface Entropy of Shifts of Finite Type
… entropy is that the class of entropies of 2-D SFTs is the class of CFA numbers. In the second part of this thesis we show that all such CFA numbers can be realized as the surface entropy of a 2-D SFT. Furthermore we construct an example of a 2-D SFT demonstrating that the class of surface …

Matrix probing, skeleton decompositions, and sparse Fourier transform
… FFT still takes O(N log N) time. In contrast, SFT (sparse Fourier transform) algorithms aim to run in Õ(S)-time ignoring log factors. Unfortunately, SFT algorithms are not widely used because they are faster than the FFT only when S << N. We hope to address this deficiency. In this work, we …

Independent t test was used to compare parametric variables of the sample characterization, and Mann-Whitney U test, for non-parametric. ANOVA Split-splot (2x2) with Bonferroni’s post hoc was applied …

Minimal Presentations of Sofic Shifts and Properties of Periodic-Finite-Type Shifts
… of sofic shifts, namely shifts of finite type (SFT’s) and periodic-finite-type shifts (PFT’s), and examine their properties. We first consider Shannon covers of sofic shifts. A Shannon cover of a sofic shift is a deterministic presentation with the smallest number of vertices among all …

The perceptions of intermediate phase educators about the implementation of stories for thinking in one Western Cape Education Department region
… of learners exposed to it. Stories for Thinking (SFT) is an intervention programme based on the principles of Philosophy for Children and was introduced in some schools in an Education District of the Western Cape. This study investigates the perceptions of Intermediate Phase educators about the …

Learning noisy characters, multiplication codes, and cryptographic hardcore predicates
… In sublinear algorithms, we present the SFT algorithm for finding the sparse Fourier approximation of complex multi-dimensional signals in time logarithmic in the signal length. We also present additional algorithms for related settings, differing in the model by which the input signal is …

"I Want to be Free the Lebanese Way": An Interpretive Phenomenology Examination of Lebanese American Queer Youth's Experiences of Family Secrecy
… The study utilized structural family therapy or SFT (Minuchin, 1974) as the theoretical framework to guide the conceptualization of family dynamics and how they are impacted by the family secrecy surrounding the participants' sexuality. Findings illustrated the complexity of the family secrecy …
