Gradient Balance Method for Specific Gravity Determination in Milk

Comparison of Prooxidant-antioxidant Balance Method with Crocin Method for Determination of Total Prooxidant-antioxidant Capacity

Objective(s) Comparison of prooxidant-antioxidant balance (PAB) assay with crocin assay. Materials and Methods Twenty eight serum samples were chosen, PAB and the total antioxidant capacity were measured by PAB assay and crocin, respectively, and the correlation of both assays, along with their correlation with other clinical and biochemical parameters, were determined. Results A significa...

Validity of the Specific Gravity Method for the Determination of the Fineness of Gold Objects

A Method for the Determination of the Specific Gravity of Red Blood Cells

1. A simple method for determining the specific gravity of red blood cells is described. 2. It is more rapid than and as accurate as pycnometer determinations. 3. The marked chemical and physical interactions between corpuscles and suspension fluids in other methods are avoided.

Low-Earth Orbit Determination from Gravity Gradient Measurements

An innovative orbit determination method which makes use of gravity gradients for Low-Earth-Orbiting satellites is proposed. The measurement principle of gravity gradiometry is briefly reviewed and the sources of measurement error are analyzed. An adaptive hybrid least squares batch filter based on linearization of the orbital equation and unscented transformation of the measurement equation is...

Congener Specific Determination of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) in Human Milk

Many international efforts have been spent to eliminate and/or reduce the emissions and discharges of a wide range of pollutants that have persisted in the environment as well as living organisms [1]. These pollutants are known as a persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Contamination from POPs is a pervasive global problem that urgently demands a global solution [2]. These chemicals include org...
