Contexte: Peu d’informations du niveau de consensus de prise en charge des chiropracteurs français sont connues. Une étude suédoise a montré un consensus de stratégie de prise en charge (SPC) de chiropracteurs pour neuf scenarii de douleur de bas du dos. Ces résultats pouvaient-ils être reproduits avec des chiropracteurs français? Objectifs: 1) Mesurer le taux de consensus de SPC pour neuf scen...

With the increase in threats posed by small drones, development of radars to detect such drones has become a key necessity. In earlier studies, we proposed stationary point concentration (SPC) technique for drone detection using frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar. The SPC is novel approach mitigating leakage, which an inherent problem FMCW improves signal-to-noise ratio reducing n...

• Statistical process control (SPC) is a management philosophy that relies on straightforward statistical tools to identify and solve process problems. • By systematically identifying potential problems in process control, managers can proactively make corrections before quality outcomes suffer. • SPC methods are useful in helping managers to measure whether their processes and products conform...

The hydrolysis of sodium borohydride as a source of hydrogen gas is studied at different mole ratios of H+ to NaBH4. The sulfonated porous carbon (SPC) is used as a source of hydrogen ion and catalyst. It is found that the sulfonated porous carbon exhibits high activity for the hydrolysis of NaBH4 to generate hydrogen gas at room temperature in comparison to Amberlyst-15 and Nafion-NR50. The ki...

Molecular mechanisms underlying migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) toward sphingosylphosphorylcholine (SPC) were analyzed in light of the hypothesis that remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton should be involved. After SPC stimulation, mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), including p38 MAPK (p38) and p42/44 MAPK (p42/44), were found to be phosphorylated. Migration of cells to...

PURPOSE Secondary primary cancers (SPCs) commonly arise in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC). We designed the present study to estimate the SPC incidence in Korean patients with RCC. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study cohort was population-based and consisted of 40,347 individuals from the Korean Central Cancer Registry who were diagnosed with primary renal cancer between 1993 and 2013. S...

This paper evaluates two-dimensional turbo product codes based on single-parity check codes (TPC/SPC) and low-density parity check (LDPC) codes for use in digital magnetic recording systems. It is first shown that the combination of a TPC/SPC code and a precoded partial response (PR) channel results in a good distance spectrum due to the interleaving gain. Then, density evolution is used to com...

Developing a modeling method for determining the solubilities of metal complexes in supercritical CO2 is crucial designing an effective CO2-based deposition technique. This study aimed to model solubility ferrocene, typical precursor metallic iron, CO2, which was achieved using perturbed-chain statistical associating fluid theory (PC-SAFT) conjunction with experimental data organic solvents. Pu...

The P2X7 receptor (P2X7R), an ATP-gated ion channel, plays essential roles in the release and maturation of IL-1beta in microglial cells in the brain. Previously, we found that lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) potentiated P2X7R-mediated intracellular signals in microglial cells. In this study, we determined whether the lysophospholipids, i.e., LPC and sphingosylphosphorylcholine (SPC), modulate th...
