A bisphenol A production plant possesses considerable potential risks in the top of the methanol separation column, as pressurized acetone, methanol, and water are processed at an elevated temperature, especially in the event of an abnormal pressure increase due to a sudden power outage. This study assesses the potential risks in the methanol separation column through hazard and operability ass...

Two great underthrusting earthquakes that occurred along the coast of Peru in 2001 and 2007 involve spatiotemporal slip distributions that differ from the predominantly unilateral or bilateral rupture expansion of many great events. Commonly used finite-source rupture model parameterizations, with specified rupture velocity and/or short duration of slip at each grid point applied to the seismic...

This study aims to explore potential clinical relevance of sHLA-G to premature rupture of membrane. 75 samples of pregnancy were enrolled, including patients with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM), patients with term premature rupture of membranes (TPROM) and normal pregnancy women. Level of sHLA-G in multiple sites were examined with ELISA. Lymphocytes were isolated from periphera...
