Within the confines of a Healthcare Enterprise Memory (HEM), most traditional medical systems do not sufficiently provide the necessary assistance to healthcare practitioners in the handling of critical situations. Furthermore, localized knowledge repositories are often lacking the required knowledge for problem solving. Therefore, in this paper, we present an agentbased knowledge broker called...

We demonstrate that the expression of hem genes in Rhodobacter capsulatus is transcriptionally repressed in response to the exogenous addition of heme. A high-copy suppressor screen for regulators of hem gene expression resulted in the identification of an LysR-type transcriptional regulator, called HbrL, that regulates hem promoters in response to the availability of heme. HbrL is shown to act...

The Fisher Hem-Alyzer is a multitest sequential discrete analyser with automatic printout of digitized results on paper tape. The instrument is well designed, soundly constructed, and reliable in routine use. Cross contamination from the sampler probe or between the cuvettes is minimal. Accuracy and precision are both highly satisfactory. Although the standard rate of throughput is 32 specimens...

Background Hereditary hemochromatosis, thalassemia and myelodysplastic sindromes represent iron toxicity models with evidence of iron-related heart failure. Non-TransferrinBound Iron (NTBI), plays a key role in the pathogenesis of cardiac toxicity leading to the production of reactive oxygen species which increase lipid peroxidation (MDA). In acute myocardial infarction (MI) microvascular obstr...

This paper reexamines the unintended consequences of the two widely cited models for measuring environmental efficiency—the hyperbolic efficiency model (HEM) and directional distance function (DDF). I prove the existence of three main problems: (1) these two models are not monotonic in undesirable outputs (i.e., a firm’s efficiency may increase when polluting more, and vice versa), (2) strongly...

phase inversion in liquid-liquid dispersions corresponds to the transitional boundary between oil-in-aqueous dispersion and aqueous-in-oil dispersion. a theoretical model based on simple assumptions was proposed to predict phase inversion point, ambivalence region and the hysteresis effect of inversion. experimental data from the literature were used to validate the model and results were compa...

Bu çalışma, Beckçi ‟Risk Toplumu” konseptinin, genelde ekolojik kriz özelde ise iklim mülteciliği meselelerine karşı önemli imkânlar barındıran bir teorik arka plan sağladığını gösterme amacıyla yazılmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında bu temel amaç doğrultusunda iki ana meseleye odaklanılmıştır. Bunlardan ilki olarak, kuramsal çerçevede merkezi yeri olduğunu düşündüğümüz risklerin risk toplumu kategori...
