Two common sources of error in blood pH and blood gas analysis were studied. The effect of delay in estimation was studied in 10 volunteers and 40 patients. Syringes were stored at 0 degree C, (crushed ice), 4 degrees C (refrigerator) and 22 degrees C (room temperature). The pressure of oxygen (PO2) fell significantly by 20 minutes at 4 degrees C and 22 degrees C but did not change significantl...

For predicting the key technology indicators (concentrate grade and tailings recovery rate) of flotation process, an echo state network (ESN) based fusion soft-sensor model optimized by the improved glowworm swarm optimization (GSO) algorithm is proposed. Firstly, the color feature (saturation and brightness) and texture features (angular second moment, sum entropy, inertia moment, etc.) based ...

If business-to-consumer (B2C) marketing is the waves and the froth on the surface, business-tobusiness (B2B) is the ocean underneath. Considerably larger, substantially hidden, rather mysterious, containing poorly understood but powerful currents, and with un-plumbed depths. While B2C marketers, perhaps obsessed with the excitement and glamour of big budget TV advertising campaigns, came rather...
