We herein present a case of bilateral serous retinal detachment (SRD) as a presenting sign of nephrotic syndrome (NS). A 48-year-old man complained of decreased vision related to bilateral SRD. Laboratory tests revealed NS (serum albumin, 17 g/L: proteinuria, 15.40 g over 24 hours). Following treatment for edema with a diuretic, the bilateral SRD resolved completely, with a full recovery of the...

In this paper a new geometric-mean circuit for current-mode square-root domain filters (SRD) is presented. The geometric-mean circuit employs MOSFET transistors that are operating in both strong inverted saturation and triode regions and works in low supply voltage. Simulation results by HSPICE confirm the validity of the proposed design technique.

We consider tracer diffusion in colloidal suspensions under solid loading conditions, where hydrodynamic interactions play an important role. To this end, we carry out computer simulations based on the hybrid stochastic rotation dynamics-molecular dynamics (SRD-MD) technique. Many details of the simulation method are discussed in detail. In particular, our choices for the SRD-MD parameters and ...

The present study investigates whether the replacement of dietary casein by soya protein isolate could be able to improve and/or even revert the morphological and metabolic abnormalities underlying the adipose tissue dysfunction of dyslipidaemic rats chronically fed (8 months) a sucrose-rich (62·5 %) diet (SRD). For this purpose, Wistar rats were fed a SRD for 4 months. From months 4 to 8, half...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to report optical coherence tomography (OCT) and angiographic findings in a patient with pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH). CASE REPORT A 39-year-old woman, who was diagnosed with PIH, reported blurred and distorted vision at 5 days after an emergency cesarean delivery. OCT revealed a large serous retinal detachment (SRD) that included areas in the m...

Blieberger, J. and U . Schmid, Preemptive LCFS scheduling in hard real-time applications, Performance Evaluation 15 (1992) 203-215 . We investigate the real-time behaviour of a (discrete time) single server system with preemptive LCFS task scheduling . The main result deals with the probability distribution of a random variable SRD(T), which describes the time the system operates without violat...

We investigate some real time behaviour of a (discrete time) single server system with nonpreemptive LCFS task scheduling . The main results deal with the probability distribution of a random variable SRD(T), which describes the time the system operates without any violation of a fixed task service time deadline T . A tree approach, similar to those already used for the derivation of the same q...

We investigate some real time behaviour of a (discrete time) single server system with FCFS task scheduling. The main results deal with the probability distribution of a random variable SRD(T), which describes the time the system operates without violating a fixed task service time deadline T. The tree approach used for the derivation of our results is suitable for revisiting problems already s...

Traffic profile, mainly its self-similarity properties, can have crucial impact on the network performance. In this regard, we evaluate traffic profile of Ethernet traffic. We have performed a measurement of the traffic on Ethernet network. Captured data has been analyzed from the protocol point of view, with the stress on the selfsimilarity, LRD and SRD properties. To evaluate these characteri...
