Isothermal hemodialysis to improve intradialytic tolerance in hypotension-prone patients has been effective in outpatient settings. The purpose of this pilot study was to examine thermal control in an acute care setting and describe comfort issues associated with thermal control. Although complaints of cold or shivering occurred more frequently with the isothermal hemodialysis group, cold disco...

where E(x, y) > 0. The parametric curves x = const. and y = const. form an isothermal net on 1. It is well known that h(x, y) = c, where h is a harmonic function of (x, y), that is, h satisfies the Laplace equation, hA, + h,, = 0, defines an isothermal family of curves on Z. The constant c is called the isothermal parameter. The converse of the preceding statement is not valid. That is, if g(x,...

Techniques of isothermal microcalorimetry have been much improved during the past two decades. In addition to their use in fundamental research, applications of practical importance have been established in some areas. However, no significant use of isothermal microcalorimetry has yet been seen in practical applications of biology, despite many methodological studies reported from that area. Th...

Reflow soldering in a nitrogen atmosphere is a common process consideration in surface mount technology assembly. This is because the use of nitrogen in reflow equipment may benefit the process as well as the quality of the end product, where it can increase the reliability of the solder joint. So far, many papers have reported effects of cooling speed, type of solder pastes and solder fluxes o...

the effects of temperature, time and the strategy of prepolymerization were studied on the morphology of polypropylene particles. propylene polymerization was carried out in slurry phase using 4th generation of ziegler-natta catalyst, cyclohexylmethyl dimethoxysilane as external electron donor, and triethyl aluminum as co-catalyst. prepolymerizations were carried out based on two strategies: is...

a thermodynamic study of copper ions by jack bean urease (jbu) was carried out at two temperatures of 27 and 37?c in tris buffer (30 mm; ph=7.0) using an isothermal titration calorimetry. there is a set of twelve identical and non-interacting binding sites for copper ions. the intrinsic dissociation equilibrium constant and the molar enthalpy of binding are 285 µm and ?15.2 kj/mol at 27?c and 3...

The objective of this study was to develop a predictive tool for evaluating the safety of slow cooking of pork products and identifying associated critical limits. Small-scale (25 g) ground pork isothermal inoculation studies were done to determine Salmonella serovars, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Staphylococcus aureus estimated critical times (time until growth reached a predefined increase o...
