introduction: triage is one of the most important systems in patients prioritizing at the time of arrival to hospital. based on the severity of the injury and the need for treatment, this system manages patients in the least time which could lead to rotation of patients with high reliability and safety. currently, the most accepted method for triage is emergency severity index (esi) system, con...

The newly defined MPEG-4 Advanced Simple (AS) profile delivers single-layered streaming video in digital television (DTV) quality in the promising 1–2 Mbit/s range. However, the coding tools involved add significantly to the complexity of the decoding process, raising the need for further hardware acceleration. A programmable multicore system-on-chip (SOC) architecture is presented which target...

This article describes the ongoing work of real-time message passing interface (MPI) standardization. Real-time MPI (MPI/RT) provides a consistent set of extensions and, in some cases, restrictions to the high-performance computing Message Passing Interface Standard, emphasizing changes that enable and support real-time communication and are supportable on embedded and other real-time systems. ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Congenitally abnormal plasminogen is characterized by markedly decreased fibrinolytic activity and has been reported mainly in association with venous occlusive disease. CASE DESCRIPTION We found three young adult patients (34, 45, and 27 years old at onset) with ischemic cerebrovascular disease, all of whom had congenital plasminogen abnormalities but no other known ri...

A 1352-nucleotide intron within the Euglena gracilis chloroplast ycf8 gene has been characterized as a complex twintron with overlapping internal introns and alternative splicing pathways. Partially spliced pre-mRNAs were characterized by a combination of cDNA cloning and sequencing, Northern hybridization, and S1 nuclease protection analyses. In the predominant pathway, two internal group II i...

The protein complement of cellular membranes is notoriously resistant to standard proteomic analysis and structural studies. As a result, membrane proteomes remain ill-defined. Here, we report a global topology analysis of the Escherichia coli inner membrane proteome. Using C-terminal tagging with the alkaline phosphatase and green fluorescent protein, we established the periplasmic or cytoplas...
