Trauma Risk Management (TRiM) is a novel system of post incident management which intend to allow commanders to provide appropriate support to their subordinates in the aftermath of traumatic events. Given the current very considerable operational tempo being experienced by the majority of the UK Armed Forces, it is perhaps not surprising that TRiM has been in use in both Iraq and Afghanistan. ...

Current strategies for real-time rendering of trimmed spline surfaces re-approximate the data, pre-process extensively or introduce visual artifacts. This paper presents a new approach to rendering trimmed spline surfaces that guarantees visual accuracy efficiently, even under interactive adjustment of trim curves and spline surfaces. The technique achieves robustness and speed by discretizing ...

Methods for the targeted disruption of protein function have revolutionized science and greatly expedited the systematic characterization of genes. Two main approaches are currently used to disrupt protein function: DNA knockout and RNA interference, which act at the genome and mRNA level, respectively. A method that directly alters endogenous protein levels is currently not available. Here, we...

BACKGROUND/AIM This study investigates whether 1-(2-trifluoromethylphenyl)-imidazole (TRIM), originally proposed as a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor and also suggested to be an inhibitor of store-operated calcium entry in mouse anococcygeal muscle, inhibits receptor-independent and -dependent responses in rat thoracic aorta. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cyclopiazonic acid- and serotonin-induced vas...

In this work, we incorporate the resolution-of-the-identity (RI) approximation into the theoretical framework of the local triatomics-in-molecules (TRIM) second-order Møller-Plesset (MP2) perturbation theory model. The resultant model, RI-TRIM MP2, emerges as a robust fourth-order methodology that extends the regime of practical MP2 calculations. With RI-TRIM MP2, correlation energy corrections...

objective: it is a firm belief that blood transfusion is life-saving in many situations, but at the same time transfusion complications could be life-threatening. the possible effects of blood transfusion related immunomodulatory (trim) and its related mechanisms is one of the important debatable subjects in the field of blood transfusion medicine. one of the mechanisms through which transfus...

Thirty-two crossbred cattle (steers = 17; heifers = 15) exhibiting an ultrasound fat thickness at the 12 to 13th rib region of at least 10 mm were selected from a slaughter shift at a commercial packing plant. After splitting, alternating sides of each carcass were trimmed of 1) subcutaneous fat in excess of 6.4 mm; 2) all kidney, pelvic, and heart fat; and 3) all cod or udder fat and fat in th...

Cancer is a highly prevalent genetic disease and it is estimated that almost every second person will suffer from the disease during his or her life-time. Despite intensive research over the last 50 years, the development and progression of the disease is, in many cases, still incompletely understood. In the past few years, a distinctive family of proteins called the TRIM (tripartite motif), or...
