Gerassimos Lascaratos, MD Suheb Ahmed, MD Stephen A. Madill, FRCOphth Spontaneous venous pulsation (SVP) of the optic disc can be used as a surrogate marker of intracranial pressure (ICP) in patients with discs of normal morphology. The presence of SVP can suggest an ICP within normal limits.1 Based on this premise, SVP is also referred to when differentiating anomalous pseudopapilledematous op...

Digestion of purified reovirus with chymotrypsin in the presence of 0.15 M NaCl converts virions to infectious subviral particles (SVP(i)). The SVP(i) have an active ribonucleic acid (RNA) polymerase and are similar in composition to the partially uncoated virions which have been isolated from infected L cells. SVP(i) have a buoyant density of 1.40 g/ml in CsCl and sediment at 420S as compared ...

The complete amino acid sequence of the major clotting protein from the guinea pig seminal vesicle (SVP-1) has been determined by nucleotide sequencing of cDNA clones corresponding to the 3' terminus of an mRNA that codes for a protein precursor to SVP-1. The first 40 amino acids of the derived protein sequence are identical to those determined by N-terminal sequencing of SVP-1 isolated from th...

The present study investigated the cytogenetic and testicular damage induced by the antiepileptic drug, sodium valporate (SVP) in albino rats and the effect of saffron aqueous extracts. Treating rats with SVP caused a significant increase in the chromosomal aberrations either structural or numerical and decreased the mitotic index. Besides, animals administered SVP showed DNA damage appeared in...

A lattice is the integer span of some linearly independent vectors. Lattice problems have many significant applications in coding theory and cryptographic systems for their conjectured hardness. The Shortest Vector Problem (SVP), which is to find the shortest non-zero vector in a lattice, is one of the well-known problems that are believed to be hard to solve, even with a quantum computer. In t...

The sexual recidivism rate of sex offenders is a controversial issue. Perhaps as controversial is the sexual recidivism rate of the select group of sex offenders who are examined pursuant to sexually violent predator (SVP) statutes. At present, reliable estimates of SVP recidivism are unavailable. We propose that reasonable estimates of SVP recidivism can be reached by considering three availab...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (LSPDP) for low-grade malignant pancreas tumors was recently demonstrated. Although the procedure with splenic vessel preservation (SVP) is optimal for LSPDP, SVP is not always possible in patients with a large tumor or a tumor attached to splenic vessels. This study aimed to analyze the safety of two procedures: LSPDP w...

Background ICONS is a cluster randomised controlled pilot trial designed to provide preliminary evidence of the effectiveness of a systematic voiding programme (SVP) for the management of continence after stroke. Stroke services were randomised to receive the SVP, the SVP plus supported implementation, or usual care. Process evaluations are designed to evaluate fidelity and provide explanatory ...

The shortest vector problem (SVP) in lattices is related to problems in combinatorial optimization, algorithmic number theory, communication theory, and cryptography. In 1996, Ajtai published his breakthrough idea how to create lattice-based oneway functions based on the worst-case hardness of an approximate version of SVP. Worst-case hardness is one of the outstanding properties of all modern ...

A family of catadioptric imaging systems has been developed that can achieve omnidirectional viewing with a single planar imager while still being able to recover perspective images, provided that they satisfy the single-viewpoint (SVP) constraint. It has been shown that the only mirror shapes that can have SVP when paired with a sole focusing planar imager camera are the surfaces of revolution...
