AIM Aim of this study is to assess effects of parenteral nutritional support with fish-oil emulsion on spinal cord recovery in rats with traumatic spinal cord injury. MATERIAL AND METHODS For 5 days after SCI rats were received saline in group C and Omegaven in group O. Locomotor strengths (BBB scale)of animals were rated at Day 0,7,14,21,28, and 35. At Day 35 spinal cord sampling was evaluat...

We have introduced fast and eeective k-way partitioning solutions for the two regimes k n and k = (n). Our contributions include a new \partitioning-speciic" net model used in constructing the Laplacian of the netlist, the use of fast Lanczos implementations to compute the d-dimensional geometric embedding eeciently, and a careful choice of geometric clustering objectives and algorithms. We bel...

The construction of R, the process encapsulating the timing information, is not as eecient as it could be. Any method for making timing veriication more eecient, such as partial order reductions, could in principle be incorporated into our current scheme. We believe that our work will be useful in applications such as asynchronous circuits and hardware software co-design, where abstract descrip...

The objective of this study was to develop a stream prioritization tool that evaluates stream reaches in terms of the potential water quality improvements that could be achieved through restoration versus practical constraints to project implementation. This study is inextricably linked to the countywide stream assessment and Reynolds study conducted prior to this project. The first two section...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is an advanced MR technique that describes the movement of water molecules by using two metrics, mean diffusivity (MD), and fractional anisotropy (FA), which represent the magnitude and directionality of water diffusion, respectively. We hypothesize that alterations in these values within the tissue surrounding brain tumors reflect combinati...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Our purpose was to characterize the findings of MR imaging of the brain of adult male fragile X premutation carriers with a recently identified disorder characterized by ataxia, tremor, rigidity, and cognitive dysfunction. METHODS MR imaging studies of the brain of 17 male patients were characterized for signal intensity and for size of ventricles, cerebral and cerebell...

cost of the overhead is O(lglg n). Hence the implementation cost is O(lg(jA(v)j), which is proportional to the number of comparisons needed by the Koml os algorithm to nd the heaviest edges in 2m half-paths of the tree in the worst case. Summed over all nodes, this comes to O(n log(m+n n)) as Koml os has shown. The only additional costs are in forming the LCA 0 s which take O(m+n) and in proces...
