Diffuse pulmonary ossification (DPO) is a rare condition of DLD (diffuse lung disease) characterized by the presence metaplastic ectopic bone in lungs and less frequent patients without clear background diseases. DPO very small calcific nodules, often with mature located both peripheral areas lungs. Two patterns have been recognized dendriform nodular. The type common coral-like network spicula...

Diffuse pulmonary ossification (DPO) is a rarely diagnosed entity that may present with characteristic imaging features. It is listed in the differential diagnosis of lung parenchymal calcifications and should be considered by the radiologist if the appropriate findings are identified. We report a case of DPO secondary to mitral stenosis in a patient whose severe cardiac pathology lead to death...

Graph transformation has been used to model concurrent systems in software engineering, as well as in biochemistry and life sciences. The application of a transformation rule can be characterised algebraically as construction of a double-pushout (DPO) diagram in the category of graphs. We show how intuitionistic linear logic can be extended with resource-bound quantification, allowing for an im...

BACKGROUND Double pelvic osteotomy (DPO) planning is usually performed by hip palpation, and on radiographic images which give a poor representation of the complex three-dimensional manoeuvre required during surgery. Furthermore, bone strains which play a crucial role cannot be foreseen. OBJECTIVE To support surgeons and designers with biomechanical guidelines through a virtual model that wou...

Diphenyloxide (DPO) is one of many, rather toxic pollutants produced by combustion of fossil fuels, which are emitted to the atmosphere with flue gases and brought to ground water by rain and snow. Its decomposition is investigated by ozonolysis at room temperature and the major products like phenol, resorcinol, hydroquinone, dihydroxy-benzoic acid as well as the total yield of aldehydes and ca...

We propose an unfolding semantics for graph transformation systems in the double-pushout (DPO) approach. Mimicking Winskel’s construction for Petri nets, a graph grammar is unfolded into an acyclic branching structure, that is itself a (nondeterministic occurrence) graph grammar describing all the possible computations of the original grammar. The unfolding can be abstracted naturally to a prim...

Quorum sensing is a microbial signaling process that relies on the production, release, and response to extracellular molecules called autoinducers. This Review covers quorum-sensing systems controlled by pyrazine-type autoinducer, 3,5-dimethyl-pyrazin-2-ol (DPO). The we cover span human pathogen Vibrio cholerae, where DPO regulates pathogenicity biofilm formation, phage VP882, controls lytic d...

The dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMV) and nucleus ambiguus (NA) were both traced with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) retrograde labelling technique after vagal-hypoglossal nerve anastomosis (VHA). By light microscopy, reinnervation of the new target, viz. tongue skeletal musculature, by DMV and NA was established at 22 days postoperation (dpo) as shown by the neuronal labelling with HRP. Ul...

Objective: To explore the effect of Multi-oil Fat Emulsion (SMOF) in perioperative parenteral nutritional support on older patients with gastric cancer. Methods: 120 patients with gastric cancer were evenly and randomly assigned to Control, Intralipid and SMOF group. Nutritional status, immune function and liver function in three groups were compared among 0 dpo (day post operation), 3 dpo and ...

Following TER nets, an approach to the modelling of time in high-level Petri nets, we propose a model of time within (attributed) graph transformation systems where logical clocks are represented as distinguished node attributes. Corresponding axioms for the time model in TER nets are generalised to graph transformation systems and semantic variations are discussed. They are summarised by a gen...
