This was reiterated by J. C. Mackay, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Spar Space Systems, when he met April 4 with Bai Baier, Vice President of CASC. During the meeting Spar briefed their Chinese counterparts on the status of Radarsat-1, launched last November aboard Delta-2 rocket., the satellite, with Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) as its principal instrument, has just finished its commissioning phase and been declared operational by its user, the Canadian Space Agency (CSA).

We retrospectively collected 974 prescriptions for hypertension from three hospitals in Beijing, along with medical records of 219 hypertensive patients from one of the hospitals to study the regimens and their effects on patients. The antihypertensive regimens were classified by different combinations of subclasses of antihypertensive agents. Nearly all prescriptions can be classified into 11 different antihypertensive regimens, and most of them are combination therapy. Grade III hypertension patients significantly （P〈0.001） tend to be treated with regimens containing calcium channel blocker （CCB） and RAAS inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blocker （ARB） or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor （ACEI）. β-Blockers are more likely to be combined with CCB than with other categories of antihypertensive agents. Hydrochlorothiazide is less widely used than recommended.展开更多

In this paper, the author proposes a specified measure of extracting SIBDS （software intended behaviors describing sets） statically from the binary executable using the software＇s API functions invoking, and also introduces the definition of the structure used to store the SIBDS in detail. Experimental results demonstrate that the extracting method and the storage structure definition offers three strong properties： （i） it can describe the software＇s intended behavior accurately; （ii） it demands a small storage expense; （iii） it provides strong capability to defend against mimicry attack.展开更多
