The language Vector C is a superset of the conventional (scalar) programming language C with extensions to facilitate vector processing. In tbis paper, a methodology 'for performing language cJ:tensions and the language features of Vector C arc presented. The implementation of Vcctor C on the Cyber 205 is nearing completion. Some empirical data arc presented which demonstrate that Vector C can ...

One of several effector mechanisms thought to contribute to Ab efficacy against cancer is complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). Serological analysis of a series of clinical trials conducted over a 10-year period suggested that six vaccines containing different glycolipids induced Abs mediating CDC whereas four vaccines containing carbohydrate or peptide epitopes carried almost exclusively by...

This paper present a MATLAB-SIMULINK model of a single phase 2.5 KVA, 240V RMS controlled PV VSI (Photovoltaic Voltage Source Inverter) inverter using IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor). The behavior of output voltage, output current, and the total harmonic distortion (THD), with the variation in input dc blocking capacitor (Cdc), for linear and non-linear load has been analyzed. The val...

The effectiveness of four types of mosquito traps at sampling Culex mosquitoes was compared at two north central Florida study sites (a commercial dairy and a swine research unit) with highly eutrophic lagoons that have a history of producing large populations of Culex mosquitoes. Traps evaluated included a John Hock (JH) model 1012 CDC style light trap, JH model 1712 CDC Gravid Trap (GT), and ...

BACKGROUND The test characteristics of head circumference (HC) measurement percentile criteria for the identification of previously undetected pathology associated with head enlargement in primary care are unknown. METHODS Electronic patient records were reviewed to identify children age 3 days to 3 years with new diagnoses of intracranial expansive conditions (IEC) and metabolic and genetic ...

Lipoxygenases (LOs) are iron-containing enzymes that catalyze the conversion of arachidonic acid into hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HPETEs) and other bioactive lipid mediators. In mammals, 5-LO, 15-LO, and 12-LO enzymes seem to have distinct roles in pathophysiological contexts, which have emphasized the need for selective inhibitors. Cinnamyl-3,4-dihydroxy-α-cyanocinnamate (CDC) has been ...

Abstract Choledochal cyst (CDC) is a rare surgical cause of cholestatic jaundice in infants. Spontaneous rupture an unusual presentation previously undiagnosed CDC and also biliary peritonitis children. Here, we report case 1-year-old boy who was evaluated for progressive abdominal distension. Ultrasonogram showed gross ascites with echogenic particles, dilated common bile duct (CBD), hepatic (...
