A deeper understanding of the mechanical behavior of ultra-fine (UF) and nanocrystalline (NC) grained metals is necessary with the growing interest in using UF and NC grained metals for structural applications. The cyclic deformation response and behavior of UF and NC grained metals is one aspect that has been gaining momentum as a major research topic for the past ten years. Severe Plastic Def...

A procedure has been reported (1) for the reproducible separation of the total nondialyzable solids (TNDS) of normal human urine into three primary fractions. The most abundant of the-three fractions, designated UF-O, was separated from the other two by virtue of its passage through a collodion ultrafilter membrane. The overall chemical composition of fraction UF-O was described , but no furthe...

BACKGROUND Higher ultrafiltration (UF) rates and extracellular hypo- and hypervolemia are associated with adverse outcomes among maintenance hemodialysis patients. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services recently considered UF rate and target weight achievement measures for ESRD Quality Incentive Program inclusion. The dual measures were intended to promote balance between too aggressive...

Dried milk protein concentrate is produced from skim milk using a combination of processes such as ultrafiltration (UF), evaporation or nanofiltration, and spray drying. It is well established that dried milk protein concentrate (MPC) that contains 80% (MPC80) and greater protein content (relative to dry matter) can lose solubility during storage as a result of protein-protein interactions and ...

cifi c. The high plasma creatinine level in the newborn sometimes refl ects the mother’s plasma creatinine level (9). However, kidney function of the mother of the newborn was within normal limits at the time of Caesarean section; plasma creatinine level of 0.7 mg/dL. An elevated plasma creatinine level is observed frequently in premature infants due to immaturity of the kidney tissue and will ...

Finding an appropriate end-to-end congestion control scheme for each type of flow, such as real-time or multicast flows, may be difficult. But it becomes even more complex to have these schemes be friendly among themselves and with TCP. The assistance of routers within the network for fair bandwidth sharing among the flows is therefore helpful. However, most of the existing mechanisms that prov...

BACKGROUND Uterine fibroids (UFs, also known as leiomyoma) affect 70% of reproductive-age women. Imposing a major burden on health-related quality-of-life (HRQL) of premenopausal women, UF is a public health concern. There are no effective medicinal treatment options currently available for women with symptomatic UF. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy and safety of green tea extract (epigall...
