Patients with pancreatic cancer (pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma [PDAC]) can develop abdominal pain that can be debilitating. Celiac plexus neurolysis (CPN) is a chemical ablation of the celiac plexus that can be used to treat pain caused by pancreatic malignancy. It can be performed by an anterior or posterior approach, and also can be done percutaneously or under guidance of transabdominal u...

Two imidazolium-based cationic polymeric nanotraps based on tetraphenylmethane building blocks (CPN-tpm) with different counterions were rationally designed and constructed for the efficient removal of Cr2O72- from wastewater. The influence adsorption performance was studied. With better wettability (contact angle as 28.61°), CPN-tpm-Cl exhibited a higher uptake capacity 366 mg g−1 capture fast...

Self-assembled cyclic peptide nanotubes (CPNs) show a potential use in drug delivery. In this study, the CPN composed of (Trp-D-Leu)(4)-Gln-D-Leu was synthesized and tested for the transport of the antitumor drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). CPN-mediated release of 5-FU from liposomes experimentally tested the transportation function of the synthetic CPNs. To explore the transportation mechanism of C...

The motor Nerve conduction studieswas done in CPN (common peroneal nerve) in fifty healthy male and female subject, 16-20 year of age. The values were establish for comparisons and references. The Amplitude of motor and were divided into different components and computerized machine was used to analyze the DL, Amplitude and conduction velocities. The CPN Motor studies gave DL of 4.09 ms, Amplid...

CPN Tools is a tool for editing, simulating and analysing Coloured Petri Nets. The GUI is based on advanced interaction techniques, such as toolglasses, marking menus, and bi-manual interaction. The tool features incremental syntax checking and code generation which take place while a net is being constructed. Version 1.0 of CPN Tools was released in November 2003. The version is stable, well-t...

Voice over IP (VOIP) has strict Quality of Service (QoS) constraints and requires real-time packet delivery, which poses a major challenge to IP networks. The Cognitive Packet Network (CPN) has been designed as a QoS-driven protocol that addresses user-oriented QoS demands by adaptively routing packets based on online sensing and measurement. This paper presents our design, implementation and e...

As a graphical and mathematical modeling tool, CPN (Colored Petri Net) is often used to describe the transition of states for an information system. The advantage of CPN model is that the model can be simulated dynamically. This paper presents an approach to generating test cases based on a transition graph of CPN model. The transition graph provides a solid basis for test cases generation in a...
