A decline of 59Fe incorporation into the heme fraction of the bone marrow of the skull to roughly 70 % of the physiological state took place in animals whose heads were irradiated with a dose of 16 Gy of 60Co-gamma radiation in the whole interval of 14-69 days post irradiation studied. A decline of 59Fe incorporation to roughly 40 % took place in the shielded (non-irradiated) bones on the 14th ...

BACKGROUND Continuous infusion of factor VIII (FVIII) is a more cost-effective method for treating hemophilia A than intermittent bolus injection. However, there is currently no specific data in Korea about the progress of in vitro FVIII coagulant activity (FVIII:C) after reconstitution from its lyophilized form. METHODS Three commercial FVIII concentrate products (two recombinant FVIII and o...

Eddy currents induced by applied magnetic-field pulses have been a common issue in ultra-low-field magnetic resonance imaging. In particular, a relatively large prepolarizing field-applied before each signal acquisition sequence to increase the signal-induces currents in the walls of the surrounding conductive shielded room. The magnetic-field transient generated by the eddy currents may cause ...

Healing skin wounds were studied in a series of parabiotic rats . The femurs of one parabiont of each pair were shielded whilst both animals were given 800 r from a Co60 source. The animals were wounded 3 days after irradiation . Each animal with partially shielded marrow was then given tritiated thymidine intraperitoneally daily while the cross-circulation was arrested by clamping . After the ...

Aryl-substituted allylic chlorides are accommodated by a self-assembled cage in such a restricted orientation that the internal reaction sites are shielded while the external ones are exposed. This non-covalent protection enhances terminal regioselectivity in the allylic substitution.

We describe a joint source/channel allocation scheme for transmitting images lossily over block erasure channels such as the Internet. The goal is to reduce image transmission latency. Our subband-level and bitplane-level optimization procedures give rise to an embedded channel coding strategy. Source and channel coding bits are allocated in order to minimize an expected distortion measure. Mor...

A new sterically shielded carbene with branched aromatic substituents (9a) and two palladium halogenide complexes (11a,b) have been prepared. The single crystal X-ray structures of free carbene 9a and palladium carbene complexes 10b and 11a were determined. Very high catalytic efficiencies were evident for the sterically shielded palladium carbene complexes 10b and 11a,b when the latter complex...

OBJECTIVE To provide clinical direction, based on the best evidence available, on laparoscopic entry techniques and technologies and their associated complications. OPTIONS The laparoscopic entry techniques and technologies reviewed in formulating this guideline include the classic pneumoperitoneum (Veress/trocar), the open (Hasson), the direct trocar insertion, the use of disposable shielded...

In this paper, a new numerical method of calculating rectangular busbar impedance is proposed. This method is based on integral equation method and partial inductance theory. In particular, impedances of shielded and unshielded three-phase systems with rectangular phase and neutral busbars, conductive enclosure, and use of the method are described. Results for resistances and reactances for the...
