Similar to phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate, sphingomyelin breakdown generates several lipids, including sphingosylphosphorylcholine (SPC), that are putative signaling molecules. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the involvement of SPC in transmitter release process. Intracellular recordings were made from isolated frog sciatic-sartorius nerve-muscle preparations, and the effects of...

We consider an incremental redundancy (IR) type-II hybrid ARQ scheme based on multidimensional single parity check (SPC) product codes. Random interleaving is applied between dimensions, resulting in equivalent systematic, parallel or serially concatenated SPC codes. This enables larger interleavers and a larger range of overall code rates. The puncturing pattern used for IR transmissions of th...

Control limits in traditional Multivariate Quality Control Charts (MQCC), such as Hotelling's T control chart, Multivariate Cumulative Sum (MCUSUM) and Multivariate Exponentially-Weighted Moving Average (MEWMA) control charts are based on multivariate normal assumption. This assumption is not usually satisfied, especially in real life applications. The purpose of a control chart based on suppor...

Commercial linear alkylbenzenesulfonate (LAS) contains 20 congeners of linear alkanes (C(10) to C(13)) substituted subterminally with the 4-sulfophenyl moiety in any position from lateral to central. Parvibaculum lavamentivorans DS-1(T) degrades each of eight laterally substituted congeners [e.g., 2-(4-sulfophenyl)decane (2-C10-LAS); herein, compounds are named systematically by chain length (e...

The deployment of statistical process control (SPC) in manufacturing environments is a prominent global phenomenon. Statistical Process Control largely used industries for monitoring the parameters. It standard method visualizing and controlling processes on basis measurements randomly selected samples. SPC was to evaluate quality production five sample products from Injection mould system year...

Four experiments were conducted with 730 weanling pigs to determine the effects of soy protein concentrate (SPC) in diets for weanling pigs. Experimental diets were fed from d 0 to 14 postweaning and a common diet was fed from d 15 to 28 for Exp. 1, 2, and 3; experimental diets were fed from d 0 to 7 postweaning in Exp. 4. In Exp. 1, the 4 experimental diets included 1) a 0% soybean meal (SBM) ...

OBJECTIVES Screening for second primary cancer (SPC) is one of the key components of cancer survivorship care. The aim of the present study was to explore oncologists' experience with promoting second primary cancer screening. METHODS Two focus group interviews were conducted with 12 oncologists of diverse backgrounds. Recurrent issues were identified and placed into thematic categories. RE...

PURPOSE Screening for second primary cancer (SPC) is one of the key components to survivorship care. We aim to evaluate the oncologists' experience with SPCs and assess the current practice, perceived barriers, and recommendations related to SPC screening. MATERIALS AND METHODS A nationwide survey was conducted with a representative sample of 496 Korean oncologists. A questionnaire based on t...
