The resuscitation of traumatic hemorrhagic shock has undergone a paradigm shift in the last 20 years with the advent of damage control resuscitation (DCR). Major principles of DCR include minimization of crystalloid, permissive hypotension, transfusion of a balanced ratio of blood products, and goal-directed correction of coagulopathy. In particular, plasma has replaced crystalloid as the prima...

We’ve built a tool for debugging non-deterministic failures in production datacenter applications. Our system, called DCR, is the first to efficiently record and replay large scale, distributed, and data-intensive systems such as HDFS/GFS, HBase/Bigtable, and Hadoop/MapReduce. The enabling idea behind DCR is that debugging doesn’t require a precise replica of the original datacenter run. Instea...

We analyze the possibility of nonperturbative renormalizability of gauge theories in D.4 dimensions. We develop a scenario, based on Weinberg’s idea of asymptotic safety, that allows for renormalizability in extra dimensions owing to a non-Gaussian ultraviolet stable fixed point. Our scenario predicts a critical dimension Dcr beyond which the UV fixed point vanishes, such that renormalizability...

ISO TC 37 is creating a Data Category Registry (DCR) as an online open-source RDF-based resource for use by implementers of electronic language resources, including terminologies, presentational and non-presentational lexical resources, NLP lexica, etc. The DCR will allow dynamic generation of data category selections (DCSs), e.g., subsets of the collection reflecting various thematic domains a...

Background and Objectives: External dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is the method of choice to treat nasolacrimal duct (NLD) obstruction and the other approaches are compared with it, with a failure rate of 4% to 13%. The current study aimed to assess the causes of failure in external DCR by postoperative endoscopic and pathological evaluation. <stro...

Objective: Endoscopic endonasal DCR is a well established technique but, there has been considerable debate in the literature about the size of the neo-ostium made during the surgery. Materials: Between September 2005 and February 2008, 22 patients (30 sides) with persistant epiphora and/or chronic dacryocystitis underwent endoscopic DCR. They were 8 males and 14 females aged between 21 and 58 ...
