BACKGROUND In recent years, four specific strategies have emerged which have proven clinical benefit in treating acute stroke. These are the administration of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), aspirin, management in a stroke care unit (SCU) and the use of hemicraniectomy in patients with severe cerebral oedema. OBJECTIVE This article discusses current management strategies and evidence with...

Work at the University of Ottawa on text summarization in connection with the Document Understanding Conference 2006 advanced along two tracks. We continued to refine and expand the corpus of SCU-marked documents which we created last year from materials that conference participants received from the group at Columbia University. We also developed an internal manual summary evaluation scheme ba...

The existence of significant synergism between tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) and single-chain urokinase-type plasminogen activator (scu-PA), and between t-PA and urokinase in thrombolysis in vivo is described. In a quantitative preparation of thrombolysis, consisting of rabbits in which a blood clot was induced in the jugular vein with `251-labeled fibrin, intravenous infusion over 4...

In the author’s previous work, we introduced an open-source accelerated computational fluid dynamics code for scientific computations using a graphics processing unit system (OpenCFD-SCU). This offers significantly improved computation speed and can be applied to challenging direct numerical simulation (DNS) problems. paper presents several high-resolution cases OpenCFD-SCU: (1) 24° compression...

Due to its high organic matter, moisture content, and low bearing capacity, peat soil needs be stabilized for use as a subgrade. The soybean crude urease calcite precipitation (SCU-CP) method is grouting technique using carbonate biocatalyst. This study aims analyze the effect of SCU-CP density on California ratio (CBR) value obtain best stabilization alternative reducing field’s compaction ene...

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) has become an important area of electrical engineering in automotive industry. Testing standards and regulations imposed by governments and other agencies have forced companies to pay close attention to the electromagnetic properties of their products. Nedap Specials Automotive has developed and produced Sunroof Control Units (SCU) for more than 10 years. The...

BCCIP is a BRCA2- and CDKN1A(p21)-interacting protein that has been implicated in the maintenance of genomic integrity. To understand the in vivo functions of BCCIP, we generated a conditional BCCIP knockdown transgenic mouse model using Cre-LoxP mediated RNA interference. The BCCIP knockdown embryos displayed impaired cellular proliferation and apoptosis at day E7.5. Consistent with these resu...
