چکیده
Egleston et al report a significant difference in plasma paracetamol concen trations assayed with the AcetaSite bench assay and a standard laboratory assay. Rapid and accurate determinations of plasma paracetamol concentrations are crucial in the expeditious and appropriate administration of antidotal treatment, which prevents severe liver damage if given sufficiently early in the course of poisoning.

Investigating the Effect of Soil Organic Matter on Gypsum Block Calibration for Measuring Soil Volumetric Moisture Content
Continuous soil moisture assessment and evaluation is essential for irrigation management and planning. One of the common methods for measuring the moisture content of the soil is the use of a gypsum block. The use of gypsum blocks in some cases, including the presence of organic matter in soil, may cause an error in the measurement of moisture. For this purpose, a laboratory study was conducte...
