INTRODUCTION Severe trauma induces a profound elevation of catecholamines that is associated with bone marrow (BM) hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC) colony growth suppression, excessive BM HPC mobilization, and a persistent anemia. Previously, propranolol (BB) use after injury and shock has been shown to prevent this BM dysfunction and improve hemoglobin levels. This study seeks to further in...

The International Workshop on Embedded/Distributed HPC Systems and Applications (EHPC) is a forum for the presentation and discussion of approaches, research findings, and experiences in the applications of High Performance Computing (HPC) technology for embedded/distributed systems. Of interest are both the development of relevant technology (e.g.: hardware, middleware, tools) as well as the e...

To determine if either herbaceous or woody plants are more competitive with longleaf pine (Pinuspalustris P. Mill.) seedlings, two vegetation management treatments-herbaceous plant control (HPC, No or Yes) and woody plant control (WPC, No or Yes) were applied in newly established longleaf pine plantings in a randomized complete block 2 x 2 factorial design in two studies (a = 0.05). Both studie...

The last decades have witnessed an increasingly indispensible role of high performance computing (HPC) in science, business and financial sectors, as well as military and national security areas. To introduce key aspects of HPC to a broader community, an HPC session was organized for the first time ever for the United States and Korea Conference (UKC) during 2012. This paper summarizes four inv...

BACKGROUND Hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC), identified by expression of the CD34 surface antigen, show morphological and phenotypic heterogeneity in bone marrow (BM) and peripheral blood (PB). METHODS CD34+ HPC subpopulations present in 18 PB leukaphereses after high-dose chemotherapy in cancer patients and in 11 BM samples from patients with stage IA lymphoma were characterized. In orde...

The rising interest in Java for High Performance Computing (HPC) is based on the appealing features of this language for programming multi-core cluster architectures, particularly the built-in networking and multithreading support, and the continuous increase in Java Virtual Machine (JVM) performance. However, its adoption in this area is being delayed by the lack of analysis of the existing pr...

Although the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) superfamily contains a very large number of members defined in annotated databases and by biochemical and structural studies, very few SDR enzymes have been identified that have a homologous partner catalyzing the same reaction but with an opposite stereospecificity. In the present study we have cloned and expressed one of these enzymes, th...

INTRODUCTION Hemangiopericytoma (HPC) is an unusual perivascular tumor and first case was described by Stout and Murray in 1942 (1). Moreover, it is classified as a soft-tissue vascular tumor originating from pericytes, which occurs commonly in the extremities, pelvis, head and neck, and meninges (2,3). On the other hand, HPC is rarely encountered in urogenital system (4-6). Renal HPC is also e...

The possibility of preparation of hydrogenated phosphatidylcholine (HPC) liposome precursors (LP) using supercritical anti-solvent technology (SAS) was evaluated. Vitamin D (VD) and coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) were chosen as the model drugs, and HPC was used as the wall material. The influences of operation conditions (pressures, concentrations and etc.) on the HPC were studied. The structure of the L...
