SOFCs fed with dry H 2 and CH 4 fuels were examined using 20 wt% Ni/SDC 0.2 BaO-added [Ni(BaO)/SDC] anodes. The i–v characteristics of the cells in resulted a higher output produced by fuel compared to that both In fuels, better anode obtained for Ni(BaO)/SDC. Consequently, anodic performance was order Ni(BaO)/SDC > . A significant carbon deposition observed , but less. From DC electrica...

Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) is a rare and high-grade malignant tumor that arises predominantly in a major salivary gland and bears a striking histological resemblance to high grade ductal adenocarcinoma of breast. The sarcomatoid SDC is a rare subtype that comprises of both epithelial and sarcomatoid components. The authors describe a case of sarcomatoid SDC of parotid gland. Its histological...

Morphology and changes in gene expression of vascular endothelium are mainly due to shear stress and inflammation. Cell phenotype modulation has been clearly demonstrated to be controlled by small noncoding micro-RNAs (miRNAs). This study focused on the effect of laminar shear stress (LSS) on human endothelial cells (HUVECs), with an emphasis on the role of miRNA-126 (miR-126). Exposure of HUVE...

In face of increasingly complex supply chain, firms are taking steps to develop different kinds of interorganizational systems (IOS) to facilitate information sharing and sustain competitive competency. These systems are expected to provide great business value, however many of them do not fulfill the expected promise as these systems are relatively more complicated and the usage is across supp...

The static (parallel-plate thermal-gradient) diffusion chamber (SDC) was one of the first instruments designed to measure cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations as a function of supersaturation. It has probably also been the most widely used type of CCN counter. This paper describes the detailed experimental characterization of a SDC CCN counter, including calibration with respect to su...

This paper shows how a Service Delivery Controller (SDC) [1,11] can be created for Radia such that Radia can participate and operate as part of a broader management context that is highly automated and driven by external policy. The concept of a SDC has been introduced as building block of the Conceptual Architecture for Management of the Adaptive Enterprise [2] to provide uniform abstractions ...

In this paper, we identify a fundamental algorithmic problem that we term succinct dynamic covering (SDC), arising in many modern-day web applications, including ad-serving and online recommendation systems in eBay and Netflix. Roughly speaking, SDC applies two restrictions to the well-studied Max-Coverage problem [9]: Given an integer k, X = {1, 2, . . . , n} and I = {S1, . . . , Sm}, Si ⊆ X ,...

Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) is a high-grade neoplasm known to histologically resemble high-grade ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast. We describe 3 cases of sarcomatoid salivary duct carcinoma, a heretofore unreported variant of SDC. Each case was a composite of SDC and sarcomatoid carcinoma and histologically similar to reported cases arising in the breast. The clinicopathologic features,...
