The average frequency of coronary-cameral communication (CCC) is 0.09% in the population who undergoes coronary angiography. In addition, coronary-cameral fistula (CCF) constitutes 10% of all CCCs. CCF is probably very rare in adult patients, because the majority of them is detected and treated during childhood. Hereby, we present an asymptomatic adult patient with CCF who was diagnosed inciden...

Coal-based carbon foam (CCF) has been widely used in the hypersonic vehicles’ thermal protection system (TPS) due to its good insulation and mechanical properties. In addition, CCF can absorb large quantities of energy when crushed so that sandwich structure effectively improve impact resistance TPS. However, there are few studies on performance structures, even constitutive model (MCM) CCF. Th...

Cross-Cloud Federation (CCF) enables resource exchange among multiple, heterogeneous Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) to support the composition of services (workflow) hosted by different providers. CCF participation can either be fixed, or types that used are limited reduce potential risk service failure secure access. Although many selection approaches have been proposed in literature for cloud...

BACKGROUND We previously reported that oral cholecalciferol (CCF) (100 000 IU) taken monthly by haemodialysis patients is effective in accomplishing serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-D) levels >75 nmol/L in >80% of cases. We aimed to study the weekly kinetecs of serum 25-D in HD patients receiving oral CCF during the first 6 months of HD. METHODS All new HD patients at our dialysis centre during ...

A 43-year-old woman presented with a very rare case of hemispheric laminar necrosis as a complication of traumatic carotid-cavernous sinus fistula (CCF). The patient suffered head injury and extensive burns following a car accident. Oral intubation was performed under sedation. When sedation was discontinued 17 days after injury, the patient demonstrated left hemiparesis. Magnetic resonance ima...

Neuronal and vascular responses due to finger movements were synchronously measured using dc-magnetoencephalography (dcMEG) and time-resolved near-infrared spectroscopy (trNIRS). The finger movements were monitored with electromyography (EMG). Cortical responses related to the finger movement sequence were extracted by independent component analysis from both the dcMEG and the trNIRS data. The ...

The Bloom filter—or, more generally, an approximate membership query data structure (AMQ)— maintains a compact, probabilistic representation of a set S of keys from a universeU . An AMQ supports lookup, and possibly insert and delete operations. If x ∈ S, then lookup(x) returns “present.” If x 6∈ S, then, lookup(x) may return “present” with probability at most ε, where ε is a tunable false-posi...

3-Trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM) is a pesticide used for the selective control of sea lampreys (Petromyzon marinus) in stream and river tributaries of the Great Lakes. To determine concentrations of TFM and TFM glucuronide in the edible fillet tissue of fish during sea lamprey control treatments, an analytical method was developed to determine the concentrations of these residues in rainbo...
