A 65-year-old man with persistent atrial tachycardia (AT) after mitral valve replacement via the superior transseptal approach (STA) was referred for catheter ablation. At the beginning of the procedure, the baseline tachycardia cycle length (TCL) was 245 ms. A threedimensional activation map (CARTO, Biosense Webster Inc., CA, USA) showed a counterclockwise peri-mitral AT pattern. With the entr...

When ventricular tachycardia (VT) continues after entrainment the post pacing interval (PPI) can be used to assess proximity circuit. It is not known if initial beats of a train reentry circuit proximity, which could useful when terminates or alters VT. We hypothesized that number stimuli with local electrogram(EGM) capture needed reset (NNR) VT may provide an indication as has been shown in at...

PURPOSE Darinaparsin (Zio-101) is a novel organic arsenical compound with encouraging clinical activity in relapsed/refractory T-cell lymphoma (TCL) and Hodgkin lymphoma (HL); however, little is known about its mechanism of action. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN TCL cell lines (Jurkat, Hut78, and HH) and HL cell lines (L428, L540, and L1236) were examined for in vitro cell death by MTT assay and Annexin...

Density functional theory is extensively employed for the calculation of atomic and molecular properties. Achieving greater chemical accuracy or computational efficiency is desirable and this has motivated attempts to construct improved kinetic-energy functionals (KEFS) but that is not our aim in this paper. Rather, we aim to obtain expressions for the exact kinetic energy and exact noninteract...

T-cell lymphoma (TCL) is resistant to conventional chemotherapy. We retrospectively evaluated the therapeutic efficiency and toxicity of gemcitabine, navelbine, and doxorubicin (GND) in patients with refractory or relapsed TCL. From 2002 to 2012, 69 patients with refractory or relapsed TCL received GND treatment in our hospital. The treatment protocol comprised gemcitabine (800 mg/m(2), group 1...

XML is emerging as a significant technology for use on both the World Wide Web and in many other application areas, such as network protocols. Documents written in XML have a rich, hierarchical structure, the document tree. An application which is to process XML documents must be able to access and manipulate the document tree in order to be able to examine and change the structure. The DOM is ...

We show that, during inference with Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), more than 2× to 8× ineffectual work can be exposed if instead of targeting those weights and activations that are zero, we target different combinations of value stream properties. We demonstrate a practical application with Bit-Tactical (TCL), a hardware accelerator which exploits weight sparsity, per layer precision var...

Managing different versions of library routines has long been a problem, both for Tcl and for other languages that permit code reuse and modification (i.e., all computer languages that the authors are aware of). This problem is particularly difficult for Tcl because it allows libraries (in the form of packages) to be dynamically loaded as needed. While this feature is very convenient — users ne...

The University of California, Santa Barbara, is developing a 40 gigabit per second ATM switch as part of its Thunder and Lightning network project. To use the high bandwidth e ciently, new network protocols are being developed and simulated on the Thunder and Lightning network protocol simulator. Due to the extreme memory and computational requirements of the simulator, the display, unlike most...

A thermophilic cyanobacterium named Thermosynechococcus CL–1 (TCL–1) was cultivated in the flat plate photobioreactors under strong illumination with dense culture to examine the effects of nutrient concentrations on the biomass production, CO2 fixation, and the potential as the feedstock for bioethanol production. The results show that concentrations of Na, NO3, and CaCl2•2H2O, should be decre...
