In this study, removal of methylene blue by electro-coagulation method using aluminum and iron electrodes was investigated. The influence of the operating parameters such as contact time, current density, anode type, inter-electrodes distance, initial and final pH and energy consumption rate was determined. Dye removal was increased with increases in solution pH, current density and c...

The presented image showings heavily granulated myeloma cells, some with Auer rod-like inclusions. Auer rod-like inclusions in myeloma are composed of crystallized lysosomal enzyme depositions. They are distinguished from intracytoplasmic immunoglobulin crystals. The factors that predispose to Auer rod-like inclusions in myeloma are unknown; however, in all reported cases paraprotein was of the...

We measured the sensitivity, temporal frequency response, latency, and receptive field diameter of rod input to the H1 horizontal cell type in an in vitro preparation of the macaque retina. The H1 cell has both a cone-connected dendritic tree and a long axon-like process that terminates in a rod-connected arbor. We recorded from the H1 cell body where rod signals were distinguished by sensitivi...

Electroretinography (ERG) is a well-established diagnostic procedure for objectively evaluating retinal function. In this study, ERG in beagle dogs, which are a popular experimental animal, was performed to determine the normal range of ERG variables and assess differences between the left and right eyes. ERG findings including rod, combined rod-cone, single-flash cone, and 30-Hz flicker respon...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of ceramic surface texture on the wear of rounded rod specimens. Plate specimens were fabricated from zirconia (ZrO2), feldspathic porcelain, and lithium disilicate glass ceramics (LDG ceramics). Plate surfaces were either ground or polished. Rounded rod specimens with a 2.0-mm-diameter were fabricated from type 4 gold alloy and heat-press...

the electrochemical preparation of poly-n-methylpyrrole (pmpy) coated platinum electrode in chloroform in the presence of tetrabutylammonium perchlorate, hexafluorophosphate, hydrogensulphate, periodate and iodide as supporting electrolytes was performed. the influence of electrosynthesis method, dopant anion type and operation temperature on electrochemical behavior of polymer were demonstrate...

A rectangular rod is placed in a flow field flowing parallel to a flat plate. Effect of chord-thickness ratio of rectangular rod on developing vortex shedding downstream to the rod is studied. Then, for each one of the aspect ratios, the distance of the rod from the neighboring flat plate is reduced until the rod sticks to the flat plate. In each case, the effect of the flat plate boundary laye...

Peripherin/rds (P/rds ) is a membrane glycoprotein essential for the photoreceptor outer segment disc morphogenesis and maintenance. More than half of the disease-causing mutations in P/rds have been linked to different forms of macular dystrophy; the most common one is substitution of tryptophan for arginine at position 172 (R172W). Here we confirm the patient phenotype associated with the exp...

Insulation pull rods are commonly used tools and instruments in the replacement of insulators for live work. Traditional hard insulated difficult to transport assemble due their large deflection, especially long heavy weight UHV operations, difficulties above links more obvious. In view existing problems use rods, by studying overall processing type, soft rod weaving process, technology tightly...
