The feasibility of measuring CO2 content in biogas was evaluated in this research. Firstly, Curtipot pH simulator was used to visualize the titration behaviors of various percentages of dissolved CO2 in a wide range of concentrations of NaOH solution. As a general output of those simulations, it was shown that when the titration curves of different CO2 conte...

BACKGROUND Abdominal distension is one of the cardinal features of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with patients often ranking it as more intrusive than their pain or bowel dysfunction. If this symptom could be quantified accurately and reliably it would provide, for the first time, an objective way of assessing this disorder. Using the principle of inductance plethysmography we have developed a...

The Department of Energetics and Environmental Researches (DREAM) of the University of Palermo has implemented a new technique for the assessment of the urban microclimate using data acquisition equipments installed on vehicles of the urban transport system. These instruments, equipped with various kinds of sensors, are able to measure the most important weather and climate quantities and the m...

Background: The purpose of this study is to evaluate effects of Teucrium polium (TP) leaf extracts on adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase (AMPK) level in isolated pancreases. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, two groups of rats were used as a control group, and diabetic group. In the end of experimental period the animals were sacrificed then pancreas were removed...

The paper presents a rigid body kinematic model of the co-ordinate measuring machin. The individual error components are described by means of transformation matrices and the resulting global error is given in the form of twisted space curves. A new techniques for measuring these error components is described. Using these parameters, an error compensation program has been implemented, which has...

Evolutionary information stored in multiple sequence alignments (MSAs) has been used to identify the interaction interface of protein complexes, by measuring either co-conservation or co-mutation of amino acid residues across the interface. Recently, maximum entropy related correlated mutation measures (CMMs) such as direct information, decoupling direct from indirect interactions, have been de...
