A growing number of cell-based applications require large numbers of cells. Usage of single layer T-flasks, that are adequate during small-scale expansion, may become cumbersome, laborious and time-consuming when large numbers of cells are required. To address this need, the performance of a new multi-layered cell culture vessel to facilitate easy scale up of cells from single layered T-flasks ...

As guinea-worm infection of the upper extremities, and especially of the eye, is rare, the following notes on my own personal case history may be of interest to the medical profession in this country. As is well known, the disease is contracted by drinking or bathing in water containing infected Cyclops, and where the same source of drinking and bathing water is used by several members of a fam...

Rheo-forming is becoming the choice for production of high quality parts with diminished defects and fine integrity. In this paper, the novel self-inoculation rheo-diecasting (SIRD) process, in which semisolid slurry is produced by mixing two precursory solid and liquid alloys and subsequently pouring them through a multi-stream fluid director, has been proposed. Microstructural characteristics...
