BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This study compares the concordance between arterial spin labeling (ASL) and dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) for the identification of regional hypoperfusion and diffusion-perfusion mismatch tissue classification using a quantitative method. METHODS The inclusion criteria for this retrospective study were as follows: patients with acute ischemic syndrome with symp...

The yeast Dsc E3 ligase complex has long been recognized as a Golgi-specific protein ubquitination system. It shares a striking sequence similarity to the Hrd1 complex that plays critical roles in the ER-associated degradation pathway. Using biochemical purification and mass spectrometry, we identified two novel Dsc subunits, which we named as Gld1 and Vld1. Surprisingly, Gld1 and Vld1 do not c...

Fluorescent proteins (FPs) are powerful tools that permit real-time visualization of cellular processes. The utility of a given FP for a specific experiment depends strongly on its effective brightness and overall photostability. However, the brightness of FPs is limited by dark-state conversion (DSC) and irreversible photobleaching, which occur on different timescales. Here, we present in vivo...

Această lucrare adresează problematica compresiei datelor în re elele de In this paper, the problem of distributed source coding for data compression in wireless sensor networks (WSN) is addressed. To achieve high levels of compression, a complete solution for network architecture, data correlation model and distributed source coding (DSC) algorithm is proposed. DSC is implemented using Raptor ...

This paper revisits dynamic surface control based adaptive Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy model i.e. (DSC-TS), for a problem of uncertain nonlinear dynamical systems with bounded disturbance. Dynamic surface control (DSC) methods with the combination of TS-model are used for control and approximation of uncertain nonlinear systems up to a tolerance limit. DSC has the advantage over integrator backpst...

BACKGROUND The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issues drug safety communications (DSCs) to health care professionals, patients, and the public when safety issues emerge related to FDA-approved drug products. These safety messages are disseminated through social media to ensure broad uptake. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to assess the social media dissemination of 2 DSCs release...

Dysspondyloenchondromatosis (DSC) is a rare skeletal dysplasia characterized by enchondroma-like lesions and anisospondyly. The former leads to discrepancies in limb length, and the latter, to progressive kyphoscoliosis. Two recent cases have highlighted the genetic heterogeneity of DSC, one demonstrating the presence and, the other, the absence of a COL2A1 mutation. This may have important cli...

Dynamic susceptibility contrast magnetic resonance imaging (DSC-MRI) following bolus injection of gadolinium contrast agent (CA) is widely used for the estimation of brain perfusion parameters such as cerebral blood volume (CBV), cerebral blood flow (CBF), and mean transit time (MTT) for both clinical and research purposes. Although it is predicted that DSC-MRI will have superior performance at...
