Student learning contracts (SLC) are documented with success in education to attain the goals of knowledge, value, and skills. The achievement of these goals is facilitated by the application of the SLC literature in education and in healthcare professional training within pharmacy practice experiential experiences (PPEE). This paper describes evidence regarding the potential use of SLC and pro...

landsat 7 etm+ data is widely used in studies of the spatial distribution kc and vegetation cover parameters in regional and global scales but slc failure has greatly reduces its usefulness. additionally, the failure is permanent and has failed subsequent attempts to recover the slc, so required and practical way to address this problem is filling the pixels of missed data in the slc-off images...

Some stallions produce ejaculates of low quality and/or low fertility when used for artificial insemination (AI). The purpose of these five case studies was to use Single Layer Centrifugation (SLC) to select the best spermatozoa from 'problem' ejaculates for subsequent use in AI. Sperm quality, in terms of motility, morphology and chromatin integrity, was improved in the SLC-selected samples co...

Dendritic cells (DCs) are potent professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs) with the ability to prime naïve T cells, and play an important role in the initiation and regulation of immune responses. In this study, we constructed a recombinant adenovirus carrying the SLC gene (Ad-SLC), and detected the biological effects of Ad-SLC-modified DCs as an adjuvant for the initiation of gastric cancer...

The Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) scan line corrector (SLC) failed on May 31, 2003, causing the scanning pattern to exhibit wedge-shaped scan-to-scan gaps. The ETM+ has continued to acquire data with the SLC powered off, leading to images that are missing approximately 22 percent of the normal scene area. To improve the utility of the SLC-off data, the U.S. Geological Survey (U...

In this paper, we present an efficient detector for the Spatially Local Coding (SLC) object model. SLC is a recent, high performing object classifier that has yet to be applied in a detection (object localization) setting. SLC uses features that jointly code for both appearance and location, making it difficult to apply the existing approaches to efficient detection. We design an approximate Ho...

A common problem encountered in phased array signal processing is how to remove sources of interference from a desired signal. Two existing methods to accomplish this are the Linearly Constrained Minimum Variance (LCMV) beamformer and the Side-Lobe Canceller (SLC). LCMV provides better performance than SLC, but comes with much higher computational costs. The Steered Auxiliary Beam Canceller (SA...

The b chemokine known as 6-C-kine, secondary lymphoid-tissue chemokine (SLC), TCA4, or Exodus-2 (herein referred to as 6CK/SLC) can trigger rapid integrin-dependent arrest of lymphocytes rolling under physiological shear and is highly expressed by high endothelial venules, specialized vessels involved in lymphocyte homing from the blood into lymph nodes and Peyer’s patches. We show that 6CK/SLC...
