Electrodialysis self-reversal (EDR) technology has attracted in the treatment of water for domestic and industrial uses. The consists a frequent reversal direction current between EDR-cell electrodes to combat fouling ion exchange membranes (IEMs). Irrespective EDR self-cleaning processes, role natural organic matter their complexing ability with metal ions on IEMs is partially understood. obje...

The flow upstream of a free overfall from smooth inverted semicircular channels is theoretically analysed to compute the end-depth ratio (EDR), applying an energy equation based on the Boussinesq assumption. This approach eliminates the need for an experimentally determined pressure coefficient. Experiments were conducted with horizontal channel conditions. The EDR related to the critical depth...

Airbag Control Module (ACM) is designed to detect the vehicle crash, measure the severity and to deploy airbags if necessary. ACM‟s another function is to record the crash related data from vehicles internal accelerometers and sensors from different modules. The system is also known as Event Data Recorder (EDR). This paper describes the operations of an EDR, which detects the crash based on pre...

Insulin activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway stimulates glucose uptake in peripheral tissues and synthesis of nitric oxide (NO) in the endothelium. Insulin resistance (IR) and hypertension frequently coexist, particularly among individuals with salt-sensitive hypertension. The mechanisms underlying this association are poorly understood. We investigated these mechanism...

Whistler waves are often observed in magnetopause reconnection associated with electron beams. We analyze seven MMS crossings surrounding the diffusion region (EDR) to study role of beams whistler excitation. Waves have two major types: (a) Narrow-band high ellipticities and (b) broad-band that more electrostatic significant variations wave normal angles. While both types beams, key difference ...

We have shown that transferred lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC) from oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) to endothelial surface membrane activates protein kinase C (PKC) in endothelial cells, suggesting that Ox-LDL could alter endothelial functions through PKC activation. The purposes of the present study were to examine whether the endothelial susceptibility to polymorphonuclear leukocyte...

The Millennium Galaxy Catalogue (MGC) is a deep (µ B,lim = 26 mag arcsec −2), wide field CCD imaging survey, covering 37.5deg 2. The MGC survey region is completely contained within the Two-degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Early Data Release (SDSS-EDR). We compare the pho-tometry and completeness of the 2dFGRS and the SDSS-EDR with the MGC over the r...

Abstract In the standard model of magnetic reconnection, both ions and electrons couple to newly reconnected field lines are ejected away from reconnection diffusion region in form bidirectional burst ion/electron jets. Recent observations propose a new model: electron-only without ion coupling an electron-scale current sheet. Based on data Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission, we observe lo...

Relative validity and reproducibility of a semi-quantitative food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ) for measuring preschool children's usual Ca intake were assessed using parents or guardians as a proxy. Estimated diet records (EDR; 3 d) were used as the reference method and reproducibility was measured by repeated FFQ administrations 5 weeks apart. From 2095 preschool children (2.5-6.5 years) rand...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of taxane and platinum-based chemotherapy guided by extreme drug resistance assay (EDRA) in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer. METHODS Thirty-nine patients were enrolled, who were diagnosed as epithelial ovarian cancer, tubal cancer or primary peritoneal carcinoma and received both debulking surgery and EDRA in Asan Medical Center between August 2004 a...
