Changes in the physical properties (such as particle density, bulk density of the bed, shrinkage and bed porosity of fresh green peas particulates were compared at 50 o C, during fluidized bed drying and fixed bed drying. Empirical relationships of the following nature were developed for the changes in shrinkage [VR = A + B MR], particle density [ρ p = A + B MR + C exp (-DMR)], and bulk density...

The tumor promoters, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-i 3-ace tate (TPA), phorbol-i 2,13-didecanoate, and mezenein, in the range of 10_8 Mcaused aggregation of washed rabbit platelets. The lag time between the addition of tumor promoters and the onset of aggregation was inversely proportional to the concen tration of the compounds. 4a-Phorbol-i 2, i 3-didecanoate, which is inactive as a tumor promoter...

This article presents a case study of how one health system-Health First, in Brevard County, Florida-addressed resource challenges by using Lean thinking enabled by information technology. Examining Health First provides an opportunity to learn about how one hospital system addressed these challenges by making fundamental changes in their operations, in advance of the shift toward accountable c...

the aggregation of protein is the most prevalent and the most disturbing kind of instability and this challenge exists in almost every stage of the development of protein drug. the presence of insoluble aggregations in protein drugs will make the supply of the product a tough job. this study identifies the inhibition of the folded interferon beta 1-b’s aggregation with the assistance of some ex...

In the present paper an attempt has been made to report simulated performance of a packed bed solar energy storage system. Performance of the system having large size storgae material elements has been evaluated as a function of system and operating parameters. In the present part of this paper, system performance w.r.t. temperature distribution in the bed, thermal energy stored and available e...

flow passing through lateral intakes and channel junctions is turbulent. sediment flow and bed forms areaffected by these flow patterns and vice versa. in this research, a laboratory study was carried out toexplore a possible method for sediment control for a set of submerged vanes and a single spur dikesimultaneously. since a larger portion of the near-bed flow was diverted, the intake receive...

Platelet aggregation, the process by which platelets adhere to each other at sites of vascular injury, has long been recognized as critical for hemostatic plug formation and thrombosis. Until relatively recently, platelet aggregation was considered a straightforward process involving the noncovalent bridging of integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) receptors on the platelet surface by the dimeric adhesive...

epidemiologic studies show that the cardiovascular diseases are associated with multiple factors such as raised serum total cholesterol, increased ldl, increased platelet aggregation, hypertension and smoking. in-vitro studies have confirmed the ability of some plants of allium species to reduce these parameters. therefore, we evaluated anti-platelet aggregation effect of some allium species (a...
