To the Editor: John et al. (1) have evaluated the performance of the Menarini-Arkray HbA1c analyzer and have shown correlations of results on patient samples with the Bio-Rad Variant analyzer, an in-house HPLC method, a latex particle immunoassay, and an affinity chromatography method. The y 5 x lines in Fig. 2, b and d, do not appear to be in the correct position, probably because the x and y ...

Different types of starches were used to prepare controlled release tablets loaded with diprophylline by direct compression. The impact the natural origin starch, potential chemical modifications (e.g., cross-linking phosphate or adipate, hydroxypropylation, acetylation different degrees, partial hydrolysis) and type pre-gelatinization process (laboratory scale ethanol oven drying versus indust...

Recently, we developed a retarding field analyzer (RFA) with high energy resolution and wide acceptance angles, which was installed at BL25SU in SPring-8, Japan. This apparatus enables us to measure photoelectron angular distributions (photoelectron holograms) solid angle of ±49° few minutes, this approach is now being applied the atomic arrangements dopants interfaces. However, correcting sens...

the composite powders of barium-magnesium ferrite were prepared using sol-gel auto-combustion and microwave methods. the crystal structure and the shape of nanocomposites have been compared. x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscope (sem) and vibrating sample magnetometer (vsm) were used to investigate the structural, morphological and magnetic properties of nanopowder. the formatio...

In this work, the potential of auto-ignition of heavy oil during in-situ combustion (ISC) process was studied. Kinetic studies were carried out using Thermo Gravimetric Analyzer (TGA), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Accelerating Rate Calorimetric (ARC) techniques. Effects of oxygen partial pressure, reservoir pressure and clay on auto ignition condition were investigated on a n...

Diagnostic X-ray equipment was used to develop an experimental apparatus for calibrating a CdTe detector. Powder-type samples were irradiated with collimated X-rays. On excitation of the atoms, characteristic X-rays were emitted. We prepared Nb2O5, SnO2, La2O3, Gd2O3, and WO3 metal oxide samples. Experiments using the diagnostic X-ray equipment were carried out to verify the practicality of our...

Gazette (November 1914), an article by Dr. J. C. Parbam, M.D., in the Southern Medical Journal in 1916, and many others. After a brief history of autotherapy, Dr. Duncan deals scientifically with its basic principles and then proceeds to discuss its limitations and answers some of its criticisms. Chapter IV deals with auto-immunization, which is followed by a description of the apparatus Used b...
