Red cells collected and washed apparently under identical conditions may not yield a deposit of the same density. A 5 per cent, or 3 per cent, suspension made from the deposit will consequently differ fronn day to day. The minimum haemolytic dose of the complement obtained therefore is not comparable on different days. Besides, with a suspension thicker than usual an M. H. D. is obtained which ...

HAL is a multi-disciplinary open access archive for the deposit and dissemination of scientific research documents, whether they are published or not. The documents may come from teaching and research institutions in France or abroad, or from public or private research centers. L’archive ouverte pluridisciplinaire HAL, est destinée au dépôt et à la diffusion de documents scientifiques de niveau...

We report characterization of spray-based nanoporous particle synthesis for use in the cathode of lithiumion batteries. Ultrasonic Microarray Spray Tuning (uMIST) was used to create microdroplets of salt solutions and battery material precursors, and the size distributions of produced microdroplets were investigated with a MicroOrifice Uniform Deposit Impactor (MOUDI). Experimental challenges a...

A series of gas-phase experiments and extensive theoretical modeling was done on the family of singly protonated peptides AARAA, Ac-AARAA, and AARAA-OMe. (AARAA)H(+) underwent extensive H/D exchange with D(2)O, whereas the other two peptides with blocked termini did not, implying that a salt bridge was involved in the H/D exchange process. Ion mobility measurements and complementary molecular m...

S U M M A R Y We present a binary inversion algorithm for inverting gravity data in salt imaging. The density contrast is restricted to being one of two possibilities: either zero or one, where one represents the value expected at a given depth. The algorithm is designed to easily incorporate known density contrast information, and to overcome difficulties in salt imaging associated with nil zo...

Since arginine vasopressin may play a role in mineralocorticoid hypertension, we examined the effects of deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt on vasopressin V1 and V2 receptor binding and their second messengers, inositol phosphate and adenylate cyclase, respectively, in liver and kidney to determine whether altered vasopressin receptor binding is pathogenetic in mineralocorticoid hypertensi...

BACKGROUND 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)2B and 5-HT1B receptors are upregulated in arteries from hypertensive DOCA-salt rats and directly by mineralocorticoids. We hypothesized that increased 5-HT2B and 5-HT1B receptor density and contractile function would precede increased blood pressure in DOCA-high salt rats. We performed DOCA-salt time course (days 1, 3, 5 and 7) studies using treatment group...

Microcalcification is a tiny abnormal deposit of calcium salt especially in the breast cancer that in the human female is often an indicator of breast cancer. In currently the microcalcification cluster is a important primary sign of breast cancer. The breast cancer is detected the early stage and it is identify the benign or malignant. The existing approaches is tend to concentrate on to the m...
