What is PAD?
PAD is most common in the arteries of the pelvis and legs. It’s a condition similar to coronary artery disease (CAD) and carotid artery disease. CAD refers to atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries, which supply the heart muscle with blood. Carotid artery disease refers to atherosclerosis in the arteries that supply blood to the brain. View an illustration of Peripheral Artery Disease Atherosclerosis comes from the Greek words athero (meaning gruel or paste) and sclerosis (hardness). It’s a process in which plaque builds up in the wall of an artery. Plaque is made up of deposits of fats, cholesterol and other substances. Plaque formations can grow large enough to significantly reduce the blood’s flow through an artery. When a plaque formation becomes brittle, it may rupture, triggering a blood clot to form. A clot may either further narrow the artery, or completely block it. When that blockage occurs in a coronary artery, it can cause a heart attack. When it occurs in a carotid arter
PAD is the Portable Application Description, and it helps authors provide product descriptions and specifications to online sources in a standard way, using a standard data format that will allow webmasters and program librarians to automate program listings. PAD saves time for both authors and webmasters. For more, see the PAD FAQ.
PAD (Portable Application Description) is a new standard of passing program information that make easier the registration of programs for the authors, but it also should enable the archive administrators to update the programs automatically. In order to use the advantages of PAD, you must produce a PAD-file (.xml) for each of your programs. Then, you can register your programs only with the information of the URL of the PAD-file and the wished category in the archive. All programs, registered by a PAD-file, are checked automatically on topicality at least once a week and are updated if necessary! So, you do not have to worry about updates anymore, just register new programs in the archive. But keep an eye on not changing the URL of the PAD-file and, if it nevertheless should be necessary once, you should change it as fast as possible in the authors-area, so the program data can be updated automatically. By doing, in the future it will only be necessary – so the thought of PAD -, for th
