In 2004, three wild sea otters were diagnosed with putative Sarcocystis neurona-associated meningoencephalitis by histopathology and immunohistochemistry. Schizonts, free merozoites and tissue cysts were observed in the brains of all three infected animals. Tissue cysts walls from sea otter 1 (SO1) stained positively using anti-S. neurona polyclonal antiserum. However, positive staining does no...

Line Current Commutated (LCC) HVDC systems consists of uncertain plants. These uncertainties are result of changes/disturbances in the ac networks or in the LCC HVDC system itself. Further uncertainties can be introduced due to simplified system modelling techniques. Quantitative Feedback Theory is a frequency-domain technique that utilises the Nichols chart to achieve a robust design over a sp...

Analysts are constantly overwhelmed by large amounts of data which lack meaningful or useful structure. LCC is working on two tools which help to alleviate this problem, Jaguar and Po-laris. The technical contributions of each of these tools, namely automatic extraction of semantic relations, automatic ontology construction , and metrics to evaluate ontology quality, as well as experimental res...

A review of primary cerebral hydatid disease in Australasia shows that twenty-nine cases of primary hydatid cyst of the brain have been recorded here during the last sixty years. The fact that such cysts are quite rare in countries where hydatid disease is relatively common has been stated previously by Dew (1934). In the opening paragraph of this article, Dew has clearly stated the basis for d...

Eight patients with colloid cysts of the third ventricle were examined with CT and MR. In six, surgical resection was performed and the material was subjected to histologic evaluation; the concentrations of trace elements were determined by particle-induced X-ray emission. Stereotaxic aspiration was performed in two. The investigation showed that colloid cysts are often iso- or hypodense relati...

BACKGROUND Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is a rare autosomal dominant syndrome manifested by a spectrum of benign and malignant tumors.  CASE REPORT The patient presented here was a 31-year-old female with unremarkable family history who presented initially complaining of intermittent abdominal pain. Abdominal CT scan revealed an inhomogeneous solid mass (13×9×7 cm) originating from the tail ...

LCC theory study on the green construction of economic benefit based on the LCC theory, the concept of full description, a detailed analysis of the existing building economic cost estimation methods, combined with the data, only provides theoretical basis for green construction cost control. Because our country is in the LCC theory and the building materials recycling research is still not perf...

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of hydatidosis in Lorestan province during a 10 year period (2005-2014). We surveyed medical records of infected patients with hydatid cyst who had been operated in referral hospitals of Lorestan province, Iran. Several parameters were analyzed including age, gender, place of residency, hospitalization time, and the location of cysts. Cystic...
