It has been shown that regional myocardial ischemia during angioplasty is associated with retarded apical filling. To test the importance of retarded apical filling by color Doppler M-mode to detect ischemia during dipyridamole (DIP)stress echo we evaluated 29 patients (pts) (12 females, age 57±87 years).The high dose DIP (0.84 mg/kg over 10 min) was used. The color M mode record was used to ca...

Dip-coated films, which are widely used in the coating industry, are usually measured by capacitive methods with micrometric precision. For the first time to our knowledge, we have applied an interferometric determination of the evolution of thickness in real time to nonvolatile Newtonian mineral oils with several viscosities and distinct dip withdrawing speeds. The evolution of film thickness ...

Disruption Tolerant Networks (DTN) have been a popular subject of recent research and development. These networks are characterized by frequent, lengthy outages and a lack of contemporaneous end-to-end paths. In this work we discuss techniques for extending IP to operate more effectively in DTN scenarios. Our scheme, Disruption Tolerant IP (DIP), uses existing IP packet headers, uses the existi...

We report a robust and recyclable 'dip-catalyst' based on a gold nanoparticle (Au NP)-loaded filter paper composite, prepared by a simple dip-coating process using concentrated Au NP suspensions in toluene. While acting as catalysts, the composites display excellent surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) efficiency, allowing the real-time monitoring of chemical reactions.

A new class of cytotoxic heteroaromatic cations is presented, based on the dihydro-imidazo-phenanthridinium framework (DIP), that have affinity for DNA and cytotoxicity toward cancerous cells. The DIP framework is particularly tunable due to the flexible synthetic methodology. Furthermore, the central moiety has proved to be very stable to hydrolysis and reduction compared to other phenanthridi...

BACKGROUND Docetaxel, ifosfamide and cisplatin have all shown activity in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). The optimal combination of the three drugs is, however, unknown. Considering the favorable results of taxane-containing triplets as induction chemotherapy in locally advanced (LA) SCCHN, DIP (docetaxel, ifosfamide, cisplatin) was studied in this setting as part of a ph...

for dissemination) Work Package 12 provides the DIP consortium and in particular the technology providers in DIP with realworld background information on potential application areas for Semantic Web Services. This deliverable gives an overview of Semantic Web Services and nine potential application areas and analyzes one application area, namely Business Process Management, in more detail.

We present a dip-coatable, high-capacitance ion gel dielectric for scalable fabrication of three-dimensional (3D) electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) devices such as an n × n liquid prism array. Due to the formation of a nanometer-thick electric double layer (EDL) capacitor, an ion gel dielectric offers two to three orders higher specific capacitance (c ≈ 10 μF/cm²) than that of conventional di...

The three notorious earthquakes of 1999 in Turkey Kocaeli and Düzce and Taiwan Chi-Chi , having offered numerous examples of surface fault rupturing underneath civil engineering structures, prompted increased interest in the subject. This paper develops a nonlinear finite-element methodology to study dip–slip “normal” and “reverse” fault rupture propagation through sand. The procedure is verifi...
