Clients of ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) networks communicate by creating connections to one another, then exchanging data over these connections [1] [2] [4] [6] [7] [10]. The ATM standard provides for two types of connections: Virtual Path (VP) and Virtual Channel (VC). With a VP connection, clients set the VP identifier (VPI) field of the ATM header (Figure 1) when sending cells. The netwo...

The aim of this research was to determine the effective drought indices such as NDVI, VCI, EVI, TVX, VTCI, VHI, TCI and NVSWI based on some criteria. The satellite-based drought indices have different data from vegetation and temperature conditions. Linear and trend analysis showed that satellite-based drought indices based on vegetation condition were not more efficient indices such as NDVI an...

VCI represents a spectrum of cognitive impairments associated with stroke, vascular brain injury, or subclinical disease ranging from the least to most severe manifestations. Few studies are available on the prevalence of post-stroke VCI and none have been conducted in Brazil. Objective To determine the prevalence rates of VCI and associated risk factors in a sample of ischemic stroke patient...

Subcortical white matter (WM) is a frequent target of ischemic injury and extensive WM lesions are important substrates of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) in humans. However, ischemic stroke rodent models have been shown to mainly induce cerebral infarcts in the gray matter, while cerebral hypoperfusion models show only WM rarefaction without infarcts. The lack of animal models consistently...

BACKGROUND White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are associated with vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) but fail to correlate with neuropsychological measures. As proton MR spectroscopy ((1)H-MRS) can identify ischaemic tissue, we hypothesised that MRS detectable brain metabolites would be superior to WMHs in predicting performance on neuropsychological tests. METHODS 60 patients with suspect...

Anharmonic vibrational calculations can already be computationally demanding for relatively small molecules. The main bottlenecks lie in the construction of the potential energy surface and in the size of the excitation space in the vibrational configuration interaction (VCI) calculations. To address these challenges, we use localized-mode coordinates to construct potential energy surfaces and ...

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of gotu kola (Centella asiatica) in improving cognitive function in patients with vascular cognitive impairment (VCI). This study uses a quasi-experimental design. Subjects in this study were patients with poststroke cognitive impairment who were treated at two hospitals in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The number of subjects was 48: 17 subjects were tre...
