The authors present a case in which macro-embolus from the ruptured atheromatous plaque developed during carotid artery stenting (CAS). A 63-year-old man who had suffered a left middle cerebral artery territory infarction had significant proximal left internal carotid artery stenosis required CAS procedure. Immediate after stent deployment, the patient showed abrupt neurological deterioration w...

In this paper, a macro-model of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stack is proposed. A comparative study is made by simulation for the proposed PEMFC macro-model and a reported PEMFC impedance model, which use for PEMFC dynamic a transfer function and an electrical circuit, respectively. The macro-model approximates the theoretical PEMFC current–voltage characteristic by a controll...

During the development and maintenance (life-cycle) process of SAS® macros, especially while they are already used for production purposes, it is very much recommended to keep a history of changes, additions and bug fixes along with the macro version number. Archiving of the production SAS program code should include the applied macro version or at least the applied macro version number. That w...

A SAS macro solution is presented for clustering of high dimensional low sample size (HDLLSS) data using a new algorithm based o p-values as similarity measure. The algorithm PPCLUST was developed by von Borries (2008) and implemented using SAS macro language with the macro autocall facility and window macro command for friendly interface. The SAS interface to JMP was used to run a SAS macro in...

Up to now, many properties of macro instructions of SCMFSA are described by the parahalting concepts. However, many practical programs are not always halting while they are halting for initialization states. For this reason, we propose initialization halting concepts. That a program is initialization halting (called ”InitHalting” for short) means it is halting for initialization states.In order...

milk samples from high and low milk producer holstein cows, were obtained during the morning and afternoon milking over a one week period. overall, 1064 samples were tested within 14 times sampling in urmia, iran. milk macro-mineral concentrations in the morning milking and in low producers were greater than in the afternoon and in high producers. the highest and lowest concentrations were obse...
