Retinal ischemia could provoke blindness. At present, there is no effective treatment against retinal ischemic damage. Strong evidence supports that glutamate is implicated in retinal ischemic damage. We investigated whether a brief period of global or ocular hypothermia applied 24 h before ischemia (i.e. hypothermic preconditioning, HPC) protects the retina from ischemia/reperfusion damage, an...

In the UNIX/Linux environment the kernel can log every command process created by every user with process accounting. Thus process accounting logs have many potential uses, particularly the monitoring and forensic investigation of security events. Previous work successfully leveraged the use of process accounting logs to identify a difficult to detect and damaging intrusion against high perform...

Field recordings of the entorhinal cortex (EC) were studied and compared to those recorded concomitantly in the dentate region of the hippocampal formation (HPC) in the urethane anesthetized rat. The EC, like the HPC, showed two main variations of spontaneous field activity: a desynchronized, large amplitude irregular activity and a synchronized, rhythmic, slow frequency field activity (RSA or ...

Without physical appearance, identification in computer-mediated communication is relatively ambiguous and may depend on verbal cues such as usernames, content, and/or style. This is important when gender-linked differences exist in the effects of messages, as in emotional support. This study examined gender attribution for online support providers with male, female, or ambiguous usernames, who...

Peplomycin emulsified in hydroxypropyl cellulosum (HPC-PEP) was prepared for intravesical chemotherapy. Clinical efficacy of HPC-PEP and tissue concentration of peplomycin (PEP) were studied in 12 patients with bladder tumor. Histopathology showed transitional cell carcinoma; 2 in grade 1,8 in grade 2, and 2 in grade 3. The total volume of 30 ml HPC-PEP was prepared from a mixture of 2% HPC and...

The Linux operating system dominates high performance computing (HPC) and has played an important role in making HPC one of the fastest-growing IT markets. The fastest component of the market’s projected growth is high performance data analysis (HPDA), where burgeoning new markets for HPC and Linux include machine learning and deep learning, cognitive computing, and artificial intelligence—and ...

While the literature documents the universal occurrence of heterotrophic plate count (HPC) bacteria in soils, foods, air, and all sources of water, there is a lingering question as to whether this group of organisms may signal an increased health risk when elevated populations are present in drinking water. This paper reviews the relevant literature on HPC bacteria in drinking water, the lack o...

A hierarchical porous carbon obtained from pig bone (HPC) was utilized as the adsorbent for removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution. The effects of solution pH value, concentration of Cr(VI), and adsorption temperature on the removal of Cr(VI) were investigated. The experimental data of the HPC fitted well with the Langmuir isotherm and its adsorption kinetic followed pseudo-second order model....

To achieve benefit and value from high performance computing (HPC), visualization is employed for a direct understanding of computational results. The more closely coupled the visualization system can be to the HPC data source, the better the chance of fostering discovery and insight. A software architecture is described, with discussion of the dynamic object manager allowing scalable high-perf...
