Peplomycin emulsified in hydroxypropyl cellulosum (HPC-PEP) was prepared for intravesical chemotherapy. Clinical efficacy of HPC-PEP and tissue concentration of peplomycin (PEP) were studied in 12 patients with bladder tumor. Histopathology showed transitional cell carcinoma; 2 in grade 1,8 in grade 2, and 2 in grade 3. The total volume of 30 ml HPC-PEP was prepared from a mixture of 2% HPC and...

The Linux operating system dominates high performance computing (HPC) and has played an important role in making HPC one of the fastest-growing IT markets. The fastest component of the market’s projected growth is high performance data analysis (HPDA), where burgeoning new markets for HPC and Linux include machine learning and deep learning, cognitive computing, and artificial intelligence—and ...

While the literature documents the universal occurrence of heterotrophic plate count (HPC) bacteria in soils, foods, air, and all sources of water, there is a lingering question as to whether this group of organisms may signal an increased health risk when elevated populations are present in drinking water. This paper reviews the relevant literature on HPC bacteria in drinking water, the lack o...

A hierarchical porous carbon obtained from pig bone (HPC) was utilized as the adsorbent for removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution. The effects of solution pH value, concentration of Cr(VI), and adsorption temperature on the removal of Cr(VI) were investigated. The experimental data of the HPC fitted well with the Langmuir isotherm and its adsorption kinetic followed pseudo-second order model....

To achieve benefit and value from high performance computing (HPC), visualization is employed for a direct understanding of computational results. The more closely coupled the visualization system can be to the HPC data source, the better the chance of fostering discovery and insight. A software architecture is described, with discussion of the dynamic object manager allowing scalable high-perf...

Mesenchymal tumors in the liver, whether primary or metastatic, are rare. Meningeal hemangiopericytoma (HPC) is characteristically associated with delayed metastasis and the liver is one of the most common sites. Despite its consistent histological features, a pathological diagnosis of HPC in the liver is sometimes not straightforward due to its rarity and usually remote medical history of the ...

Two broad methods exist for bringing scientific and high performance computing together; (i) modify the HPC environment to suit the existing skillset or (ii) develop the skillset to match the HPC environment. There has been significant development in the former area, however even the provision of the most user-friendly and modular submission tools remains challenging because HPC requires a degr...

Background: Solitary fibrous tumor / hemangiopericytoma (SFT HPC) and fibroblastic types of meningioma have similarities that is difficult to distinguish based on histology. Immunohistochemistry STAT6 SSTR2A are definitive biomarkers in both tumors. Inversion-mediated fusions between two genes, NAB2 STAT6, were detected SFT HPC inducES proliferation cells. The somatostatin receptor (SSTR) 2 loc...

PERFORMANCE CHARACTERIZATION OF HIGH PERFORMANCE CONCRETES UNDER FIRE CONDITIONS By Wasim Khaliq (Advisor: Prof. Venkatesh Kodur) Monday, April 30, 2012, 1:00 pm CEE Conference Room (EB 3546D) In recent years, high performance concretes (HPC) are finding increasing applications in buildings and infrastructure due to numerous advantages, such as higher strength and durability, these HPC offer ov...

16. Abstract Two prestressed high performance concrete (HPC) highway bridges were constructed in Texas utilizing concrete with 56 day design strengths of up to 97 MPa (14,000 psi). The utilization of HPC allowed for longer spans and larger girder spacing than typically used in conventional prestressed concrete bridges. An extensive research program was conducted to monitor the shortand long-ter...
