We studied the possible effects on serum carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) determination by a CDTect (Pharmacia) method of serum isolation in four different types of blood-collection tubes, namely: (1) glass tubes (glass Vacutainer tubes with no additive); (2) S-Monovette Neutral tubes (plastic tubes with no additive); (3) S-Monovette Serum tubes (plastic tubes with kaolin-coated plastic...

This paper presents the results of the analysis of 56,000 flat grids in a form suitable for minimum weight design.

Material properties and geometry are two important design parameters which their effects should be considered in a crashworthiness analysis. In this paper, the axial impact of metallic and hybrid energy absorbing thin-walled tubes with poly-gonal cross-section is simulated using LS-DYNA software. The combined effects of changing the geometry and material properties on the mass specific energ...

the importance of the use of activated charcoal tubes for sampling gases and vapors is very well-known. for producing these tubes in the country, their production started in the laboratory of the department of occupation al health using activated charcoal, polyurethane foam and glass wool and consequently two types of foamed and foamless tubes were produced. to investigate the quality of the ra...

including basic and performance. For example, section 4.1 shows spectral response characteristics of typical photocathodes and also gives the definition of photocathode sensitivity and its measurement procedure. Section 4.2 explains dynode types, structures and typical characteristics. Section 4.3 describes various performance characteristics such as time response, operating stability, sensitiv...

JCB • VOLUME 168 • NUMBER 3 • 2005 348 Saving varicella from suicide aricella zoster virus (VZV) causes both varicella (chickenpox) and zoster (shingles). VZV spreads throughout the body, but it does so slowly, and virus only emerges extracellularly in the skin where it can spread to other hosts. That behavior is now explained by Zhenglun Zhu (Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA), Jason Chen, An...

Perinatal changes in the shape of uterus were traced, and a certain its bottom was determined each months perinatal period development. Material methods. Features typical variant anatomy uterus, vagina, ovaries fallopian tubes studied on 160 preparations fetuses newborns using complex morphological research methods: macroscopic, ordinary thin dissection.Research results. It has been proven that...

The outer surface of the tube is worn under interaction between velocity difference and rolling pressure, in process circular into a rectangular tube. In order to predict wear depth, according characteristics roll forming, causes forming are analyzed. finite element model was established based on Archard theory, 40 mm × 27.5 3 SUS304 stainless steel simulated. simulated results were compared wi...

This article proposes using recycled aluminum, generating hydrogen in situ at low pressure, to power a 250 W electric bicycle with fuel cell (FC), increase the average speed and autonomy compared conventional battery. To generate hydrogen, aluminum–water reaction 6 M NaOH solution is used as catalyst. details parts of generation system, electronic configuration used, aluminum- reagent-loading p...

Flat rate regime is held responsible for this state of affairs and a shift to universal metering is being pushed as remedy. However, metering can work only by creating power retailing entrepreneurs as is being tried out in Orissa. Flat tariff regime can also serve the purpose, provided it is tied to effective supply policies. Judicious rationing and reasonable tariff are essential components of...
