BACKGROUND In recent years, four specific strategies have emerged which have proven clinical benefit in treating acute stroke. These are the administration of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), aspirin, management in a stroke care unit (SCU) and the use of hemicraniectomy in patients with severe cerebral oedema. OBJECTIVE This article discusses current management strategies and evidence with...

The nitrification inhibitors are very important in plant nutrition because they prevent the losses and volatilization of nitrogen fertilizers from soil surface. In this study, coated with Dicyandiamide 4-amino-l,2,4-triazole were used results these was compared their respective control treatments (without coating). Two wheat varieties Ujala16 NA1530 evaluated. field experiment arranged randomiz...

Work at the University of Ottawa on text summarization in connection with the Document Understanding Conference 2006 advanced along two tracks. We continued to refine and expand the corpus of SCU-marked documents which we created last year from materials that conference participants received from the group at Columbia University. We also developed an internal manual summary evaluation scheme ba...

The existence of significant synergism between tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) and single-chain urokinase-type plasminogen activator (scu-PA), and between t-PA and urokinase in thrombolysis in vivo is described. In a quantitative preparation of thrombolysis, consisting of rabbits in which a blood clot was induced in the jugular vein with `251-labeled fibrin, intravenous infusion over 4...

Abstract Polymer-coated urea (PCU) has been traditionally used for broadcast and/or incorporated application of nitrogen (N) fertilizers. To improve N use efficiency (NUE), there an increase in sub-surface banded this fertilizer technology. However, is little information on the release and supply from PCU granules when applied a band. This research aimed to investigate spatial distribution key ...

In the author’s previous work, we introduced an open-source accelerated computational fluid dynamics code for scientific computations using a graphics processing unit system (OpenCFD-SCU). This offers significantly improved computation speed and can be applied to challenging direct numerical simulation (DNS) problems. paper presents several high-resolution cases OpenCFD-SCU: (1) 24° compression...
