School For Creative And Performing Arts
The School for Creative and Performing Arts (SCPA) is a magnet arts school in Cincinnati in the US state of Ohio, and part of the Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS). SCPA was founded in 1973 as one of the first magnet schools in Cincinnati and became the first school in the country to combine a full range of arts studies with a complete college-preparatory academic program for elementary through high school students. Of the approximately 350 arts schools in the United States, SCPA is one of the oldest and has been cited as a model for both racial integration and for arts programs in over 100 cities. SCPA had three different homes in its first four years, including a makeshift campus in the Mount Adams neighborhood and another in Roselawn. In 1976, it occupied the Old Woodward High School building, on the site of one of the oldest public schools in the country. The school rose to national prominence in the 1980s, but was nearly closed in the 1990s following a series of scandals, le ...

Semiconductor Chip Protection Act Of 1984
The Semiconductor Chip Protection Act of 1984 (or SCPA) is an act of the US Congress that makes the layouts of integrated circuits legally protected upon registration, and hence illegal to copy without permission. It is an integrated circuit layout design protection law. Background Prior to 1984, it was not necessarily illegal to produce a competing chip with an identical layout. As the legislative history for the SCPA explained, patent and copyright protection for chip layouts, chip ''topographies'', was largely unavailable. This led to considerable complaint by American chip manufacturers—notably, Intel, which, along with the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), took the lead in seeking remedial legislation—against what they termed "chip piracy." During the hearings that led to enactment of the SCPA, chip industry representatives asserted that a pirate could copy a chip design for $100,000 in 3 to 5 months that had cost its original manufacturer upwards of $1 millio ...

South Carolina Ports Authority
The South Carolina Ports Authority (SCPA) owns and operates public seaport facilities in Charleston and Georgetown, as well as Inland Ports in Greer, South Carolina, and Dillon, South Carolina. Established by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1942, it is authorized and charged with promoting, developing, constructing, equipping, maintaining and operating the harbors and seaports within the State of South Carolina. An economic development engine for the State, the South Carolina Ports Authority handles international commerce valued at more than $75 billion annually while receiving no direct taxpayer subsidy. According to a 2019 economic impact study conducted by the University of South Carolina Darla Moore School of Business, port operations facilitate 224,963 jobs across South Carolina (one in every 10 jobs) paying 32% higher than the state's average wage. The study attributes nearly $63 billion in annual statewide economic activity to port operations. SCPA was created by the ...

Space Canine Patrol Agents
The Space Canine Patrol Agents, or SCPA is a group of fictional anthropomorphic extraterrestrial canine superheroes that appeared in stories published by DC Comics. History The SCPA first appeared in ''Superboy'' (volume 1) #131 (July 1966). Several of the dogs were given alliterative names which also described their powers: i.e. Paws Pooch was able to increase its number of limbs, Prophetic Pup could predict the future using his "crystal ball cranium", Tail Terrier had an elastic tail, etc. The team was something of a parody of the Legion of Super-Pets, and the Legion of Super-Heroes, with enemies such as the "Phanty Cats". Their battle cry and sacred oath, with which they began all meetings, was :''Big dog, big dog, bow, wow, wow!'' :''We'll stop evil, now, now, now!'' The first line parodies thYale chorus "Bulldog, bulldog, bow-wow-wow". They are presumed to have been wiped out of existence after the ''Crisis on Infinite Earths''. They have appeared once in a superhero limb ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
C5a Peptidase
C5a peptidase (, ''streptococcal C5a peptidase'', ''ScpA'', ''ScpB'', ''SCPA'') is an enzyme. The primary cleavage site is at His67-Lys68 in human C5a with a minor secondary cleavage site at Ala58-Ser59. This enzyme is a surface-associated subtilisin Subtilisin is a protease (a protein-digesting enzyme) initially obtained from ''Bacillus subtilis''. Subtilisins belong to subtilases, a group of serine proteases that – like all serine proteases – initiate the nucleophilic attack on the p ...-like serine peptidase with very specific substrate preference.
