encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (eps) is a rare, acquired condition that has been described interchangeablywith peritoneal encapsulation (pe) as well as abdominal cocoon. eps causes complications for peritoneal dialysis (pd) patients. in eps, the small intestine is covered by a fibrotic and inflammatory peritoneal capsule that either partially or completely encases the bowel. for eps, there ...

Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is a rare but potentially lethal complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD). Peritoneal tuberculosis is considered an etiologic factor. We report a case of EPS in a 40-year-old man who was switched to hemodialysis because of peritoneal tuberculosis after 2 years of PD. Because of the persistence of gastrointestinal symptoms and cachexia, laparoscopic explo...

This paper describes a technique to e ectively isolate mobile objects or processes that execute downloaded, potentially suspicious programs. It relies on wish lists, trust lists and capability lists. Wish lists are carried along with programs or mobile objects and denote the resources requested by the program to do what it claims to do. Wish lists are transformed into capability lists when down...

Encapsulation is the hiding of internal details from the user of an abstract data type, class or module. Encapsulating a class library requires more than combining a set of classes that are encapsulated individually. Libraries need to hide the details of how objects are created because some kinds of objects may be represented by composites as opposed to single instances. Implementation classes ...

Under glasshouse conditions, various cornstarches and adjuvants were examined as encapsulating agents in sprayable formulations for Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki Berliner. When these materials were suspended in water and tested for physical factors such as viscosity, clumping, and retention on plant surfaces, a range of responses was observed. All formulations tested had acceptable vis...
