体温管理療法（targeted temperature management, TTM）を施行した場合の脳死/神経学的基準による死（brain death/death by neurologic criteria, BD/DNC）の判定においては，低体温が一時的に脳幹反射を鈍らせる可能性があること，およびTTMで使用した薬物代謝が低体温により遅延することが影響する可能性に注意する必要がある。BD/DNCの判定は，36℃以上に復温完了してから少なくとも24時間以上経過してから行う。また，鎮静薬を投与していた場合には，投与終了後から投与した薬物の半減期の少なくとも5倍の期間は待つことが必要である。

On July 21, 2022, John Daniele, the Managing Director of DNC Cybersecurity and President Progressive World Federalists, presented on Malign Influence Operations in Narrative Warfare. Following presentation, a question-and-answer period ensued wherein questions were collected from audience CASIS-Vancouver executives. The major points discussed throughout event included how malign influence manip...

A single-laboratory validation (SLV) study was conducted on an LC/MS/MS method for the determination and confirmation of nicarbazin, expressed as 4,4-dinitrocarbanilide (DNC), in chicken tissues, including liver, kidney, muscle, skin with adhering fat, and eggs. Linearity was demonstrated with DNC standard curve solutions using a weighted (1/x) regression and confirmed with matrix-matched stand...

A Description of the Experiment The DNC system at RMCC uses the SLOWPOKE-2 reactor [2] as a source of neutrons. Samples containing 235 U were prepared as acidified aqueous solutions from certified reference standards (natural U standard CRM 4321C, NIST, Gaithersburg, MD, and depleted U standard CRM U005A 0.5064 ± 0.0003 atom% U, New Brunswick Laboratory, Argonne, IL). Each solution was containe...

We describe a novel bioassay system that uses Xenopus embryonic myocytes (myoballs) to detect the release of acetylcholine from Drosophila CNS neurons. When a voltage-clamped Xenopus myoball was manipulated into contact with cultured Drosophila "giant" neurons, spontaneous synaptic current-like events were registered. These events were observed within seconds after contact and were blocked by c...

We analyzed an attempt to develop and clinically test a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine for the developing world, undertaken by public health institutions from the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland: the Dutch Nordic Consortium (DNC), between 1990 and 2000. Our review shows that the premature termination of the project was due less to technological and scientific challenges and mor...

The 2004 US Presidential Election cycle marked the debut of Internet-based media such as blogs and social networking websites as institutionally recognized features of the American political landscape. Particularly significant was the credentialing of selected blogs as officially designated media sources for purposes of covering the major political party conventions, an act which gave particula...

This chapter utilizes the direct neural control (DNC) based on back propagation neural networks (BPN) with specialized learning architecture applied to the speed control of DC servo motor. The proposed neural controller can be treated as a speed regulator to keep the motor in constant speed, and be applied to DC servo motor speed control. The proposed neural control applied to position control ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by the progressive loss of motor neurons. We previously showed that the expression of dynactin 1, an axon motor protein regulating retrograde transport, is markedly reduced in spinal motor neurons of sporadic ALS patients, although the mechanisms by which decreased dynactin 1 levels cause neurodegeneration ha...
