Due to a shortage of donor hearts, rotary left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are used to provide mechanical circulatory support. To address the preload insensitivity of the constant speed controller (CSC) used in conventional LVADs, we developed a preload-based Starling-like controller (SLC). The SLC emulates the Starling law of the heart to maintain mean pump flow ([Formula: see text]) wi...

The traditional information system life cycle (SLC) focuses on the activities performed by a company developing, implementing and maintaining software for its own internal use. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) software packages change the SLC in several important ways. This paper presents an extension of the SLC model for ERP packages. The ‘divided software life cycle’ (DSLC) model features a...

It is well known that the electromagnetic fields in highgradient RF structures can cause electron emission from the metallic structure walls. If the emitted electrons are captured and accelerated by the accelerating fields socalled “dark-current” is induced. Dark-currents have been measured and studied for various RF structures. In this paper we present measurements of RF induced signals for th...

1INTRODUCTION Tumor cells have a very distinctive metabolism. Several previous studies have considered the metabolic changes that take place in the host after tumor implantation. Metabolic abnormalities arising from malnutrition and malignancy are seen in animals or patients with cancer cachexia. Various cancers affect the lipid metabolism.1-7) Rats subcutaneously implanted with the ascites hep...

The Stanford Linear Collider was designed to operate with round beams [ 11; horizontal and vertical emittance made equal hi the damping rings. The main motivation was to facilitate the optical matching through beam lines with strong coupling elements like the solenoid spin rotator magnets and the SLC ales. Tests in 1992 showed that ‘flat’ beams with a vertical to horizontal emittance ratio of a...

Secondary lymphoid organ chemokine (SLC) is expressed in high endothelial venules and in T cell zones of spleen and lymph nodes (LNs) and strongly attracts naive T cells. In mice homozygous for the paucity of lymph node T cell (plt) mutation, naive T cells fail to home to LNs or the lymphoid regions of spleen. Here we demonstrate that expression of SLC is undetectable in plt mice. In addition t...

The SLAC Linear Collider (SLC) is the prototype e+elinear collider. This talk will consist of an introduction to SLC, a description of the strategy for luminosity, a description of the systems for the transport and measurement of the polarized electroqt and a description of the present performance of the SLC and planned upgrades. The detector, SLD, and the status of the polarization asymmetry m...

Due to various upstream beam manipulations, the longitudinal bunch shape at the interaction point of the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC) is highly non-Gaussian. In this paper, we report beam-beam simulations with realistic longitudinal bunch shapes for the present SLC parameters and for the SLC-2000 luminosity upgrade. The simulation results allow us to estimate the luminosity enhancement due to...
