Commercialized silicoaluminophosphate-34 (SAPO-34) zeolite was successfully blended in the polyethersulfone (PES) polymer to prepare mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). The CO2 permeability and CO2/CH4 ideal selectivity of 30 wt% SAPO-34/PES MMM at 0.1 MPa 35 °C were 15 barrer 51, respectively. In our previous paper, PES MMMs using laboratory-made SAPO-34 provided both higher than neat membrane. per...

Results: Of the 144 fecal specimens analyzed by RT-PCR assays, 103 (71.5%) were positive for rotavirus infection. Single infections were detected in 58 samples (40.3%), with 34 (23.6%), 19 (13.2%), and 5 (3.5%) identified as rotavirus groups A, B, and C, respectively. Mixed infections with two and even three rotavirus groups were identified in 45 fecal samples (31.2%). Rotaviruses B and C were ...

Anaerobic and aerobic bacteria were often found as mixed infections in 225 lethally irradiated mice. Of a total of 57 mice that were sacrificed, aerobic bacteria were recovered exclusively in 9 (27%) of the 34 culture-positive mice, anaerobic bacteria were recovered exclusively in 15 (44%), and mixed aerobic and anaerobic flora were recovered in 10 (29%). The predominant organisms were anaerobi...

The present paper introduces a mixed stress-displacement method for linear elasticity, as an extension of the work performed by Christiansen [15] for computational relativity. Moreover, we establish self-adjointness in a special sense and perform numerical simulations to assess the relevance of the method, including comparison with the recent TDNNS [30, 34] mixed formulation. Extensions to high...

Mixed germ cell tumors with non-germ cell malignant components rarely occur in the anterior mediastinum. We report a case of a 34-year-old man who presented with an anterior mediastinum mass. Mixed germ cell tumor was initially diagnosed based on the pathologic findings of germinoma on thoracoscopic biopsy and clinical findings of elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein and beta-human chorionic gonado...

Matrix effects (MEs) continue to be an obstacle in the development of the LC-MS/MS method, with phospholipids being the major cause of MEs. Changing the mobile phase has been a common strategy to reduce MEs; however, the underlying mechanism is unclear. "In-source multiple-reaction monitoring" (IS-MRM) for glycerophosphocholines (PCs) has been commonly applied in many bioanalytical methods. "Vi...
