Gonadotrophins are injected daily over several days in follicular stimulation protocols. To facilitate self-injection, various injection or reconstitution devices are available. It was investigated whether injection training enabled patients to choose their preferred device. Patients and their partners received nurse-led training about: powdered urofollitropin (Bravelle) with needle-free recons...

A novel, simple method has been developed for the preconcentration of Cu(II) based on the adsorption of its Schiff’s cupferron complex on a multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) onto C18 cartridge .A new technique using a solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridge with modified Schiff’s Cupferron complex on a multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) onto C18 cartridge as sorbent was developed for th...

Breakthrough times of a commercially-available respirator cartridge packed with a small amount of activated carbon were determined by three different flow patterns: workers' respiratory patterns, conventional steady-state flows, and three standard patterns consisting of rectangle, sine, and triangle waves. A mechanical breathing simulator was used to reproduce the three standard wave patterns a...

Seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) membrane biofouling remains a common challenge in the desalination industry, but the marine bacterial community that causes membrane fouling is poorly understood. Microbial communities at different stages of treatment processes (intake, cartridge filtration, and SWRO) of a desalination pilot plant were examined by both culture-based and culture-independent approa...

a rapid isocratic method of high performance liquid chromatography system (hplc) with a glassy carbon working electrode of electrochemical detector is set up for quantitative detection of  trace amount of nitrite ion (no2¯) in aqueous protein containing cell lysate, cell media, plasma, serum, urine and other body fluids. the solid extraction  reversed phase cartridges (sep-pak) are used for dep...

A computer code (SACOP) has been devised for evaluation of optimum parameters of the cartridge (ammunition) for small arms used by the infantry.

Nail guns are potentially lethal tools that fire nails in rapid succession at high velocity. The nail cartridges are held together with wire, plastic, glue, tape, or paper. When wire is used, the 2 carrier wires (Figure 1) are called the wire collation. As the nail is fired, these 2 wires are sheared off, leaving 2 barblike pieces of wire ( 6 mm) attached to the nail. The 2 pieces are then shea...

Storing chemical structures and reactions in relational databases with the aid of database extension modules usually called cartridges is an industry standard. Typically such cartridges provide a fixed set of functions to facilitate structure queries (full-structure, substructure, superstructure, similarity), chemistry data file import and export, sometimes structure manipulations or standardiz...
