BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE There are limited data on pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in patients with tuberculosis-destroyed lung (TDL), a sequela of pulmonary tuberculosis. We identified the risk factors for PAH and their effects on acute exacerbation and mortality in patients with TDL, as well as the clinical differences in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and PA...

In this study, the feasibility of spatial filter velocimetry (SFV) as process analytical technology tool for the in-line monitoring of the particle size distribution during top spray fluidized bed granulation was examined. The influence of several process (inlet air temperature during spraying and drying) and formulation variables (HPMC and Tween 20 concentration) upon the particle size distrib...

This paper describes a solution for bus scheduling of distributed multi-mode TDL (Timing Definition Language) components. The TDL component model is based on the concept of Logical Execution Time (LET), which abstracts from physical execution time and thereby from both the execution platform and the communication topology. The TDL component model allows the decomposition of hard real-time appli...

This paper presents TDL, a typed feature-based representation language and inference system, speciically designed to support highly lexicalized constraint-based grammar theories. Type deenitions in TDL consist of type and feature constraints over the full Boolean con-nectives together with coreferences, thus making TDL Turing-complete. TDL provides open-and closed-world reasoning over types. Wo...

The hardware description language Tdl has been designed with the goal to generate machine-dependent postpass optimizers and analyzers from a concise specification of the target processor. Tdl is assembly-oriented and provides a generic modeling of irregular hardware constraints that are typical for many embedded processors. The generic modeling supports graph-based and search-based optimization...

We obtained three kinds of novel cytoplasmic dynein light-intermediate chain (LIC) isoforms from rat testis and brain by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The primers for RT-PCR were designed according to LIC-2 (LIC 53/55) (15). In one novel isoform, the 42 bp specific sequence named TDL was inserted between 1,106 and 1,107 nucleotides (nts) of LIC-2, whereas the 57 bp s...

Robot systems must achieve high level goals while remaining reactive to contingencies and new opportunities. This typically requires robot systems to coordinate concurrent activities, monitor the environment, and deal with exceptions. We have developed a new language to support such task-level control. The language, TDL, is an extension of C++ that provides syntactic support for task decomposit...

The paper presents an original architecture and implementation of 9-bit Linearized Pulse Width Modulator (LPWM) for Class-BD amplifier, based on the hybrid method using STM32 microcontroller Programmable Tapped Delay Line (PTDL). analog input signals are converted into 12-bit PCM signals, then directly transformed 32-bit LBDD DPWM data pulse-edge locations within n-th period switching frequency...

Two-sided flux decoration experiments indicate that threading dislocation lines (TDLs), which cross the entire film, are sometimes trapped in metastable states. We calculate the elastic energy associated with the meanderings of a TDL. The TDL behaves as an anisotropic and dispersive string with thermal fluctuations largely along its Burger’s vector. These fluctuations also modify the structure ...
