background: blunt abdominal trauma is one of the causes of mortality in emergency department. free fluid in the abdomen due to intra-abdominal blunt trauma can be determined by the surface probe of ultrasound. since the importance of this free fluid in hemodynamic stable patients with blunt trauma is associated with the unknown outcome for surgeons, this study was performed to evaluate the role...

This technical paper presents a simulation of three probes reflectometer system for complex reflection coefficient measurement. This involves designing a circuit of Reflectometer using Genesys software. The simulation results and data from published Three-Probe Reflectometer measurement system is being compared to show the accuracy of the simulation results. Using the design circuit, a microstr...

We demonstrate theoretically a new mechanism for the energy-selective manipulation of electron beam by nanostructured heterodimensional graphene junctions (HDGJs). Beam splitting, collimation, and beam-guide can all be realized by designing HDGJs of different dimensionality, size and orientation. Importantly, these different functions can be combined together by predesigned patterning of multip...

This review demonstrates the detection of protease activity based on the energy transfer of quantum dots (QDs). By incorporation of varying protease substrates into designed QD probes both in fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) system, proteolytic activity led to changes in the energy transfer efficiency. Especially due to the super...

This work reports a novel caging strategy for designing fluorogenic probes to detect the activity of β-lactamases. The caging strategy uses a thiophenyl linker connected to a fluorophore caged by a good leaving group-dinitrophenyl. The uncaging proceeds in two steps through the sulfa-releasing and subsequent intramolecular substitution. The length of the linker has been examined and optimized t...

Nanoparticles of a borate nonlinear optical material, K3B6O10Br (KBB), have been fabricated and demonstrated excellent catalytic activity in UV-induced dechlorination of chlorophenols, which are typical persistent organic pollutants. The obtained dechlorination efficiency is 2 orders of magnitude higher than that of a commercial P25 TiO2 catalyst under UV (λ > 254 nm) light irradiation. The non...

We propose a tamper-evident storage system based on probe storage with a patterned magnetic medium. This medium supports normal read/write operations by outof-plane magnetisation of individual magnetic dots. We report on measurements showing that in principle the medium also supports a separate class of write-once operation that destroys the out-of-plane magnetisation property of the dots irrev...

Dengue virus that causes dengue fever and shock syndrome has 4 different serotypes. Serotyping is needed for diagnosing surveillance activities of disease spreaders. Recently, the Nucleic Acid Lateral Flow (NALF) method been developed to confirm results easy amplification without complicated equipment. The aim this study was designing capture probe serotyping (DENV) using NALF method. We have c...

A General Retrospective Olaf Zimmermann: How did your book come to be? How did you get together, and how did you nd your contributors and reviewers? Bobby Woolf: Martin Fowler was the matchmaker. When he wrote Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture,2 Kyle Brown pointed out that his pattern language was not addressing asynchronous messaging. Martin felt that he already had plenty of pat...

The goal of this study was to compare the effect of heater probe thermocoagulation for massive bleeding of peptic ulcers with a control group. Between March 1992 and August 1995 we used heater probe thermocoagulation endoscopically to treat 42 patients with active UGl bleeding or nonbleeding visible vessels at the base of ulcer craters within 2-3 hours of admission. We also selected 42 pati...
