the disease of thalassemia major requires mangement by repeated transfusions of packed cell and iron chelators such as deferoxamine. today, serum ferritin is used for estimation of adequacy of the management. as the most morbidities and mortalities of the disease are the consequences of cardiac complications. echocardiography is periodically periodically performed along with the management. in ...

A proportional-resonant (PR)-based current control strategy for grid-connected packed-E cell (PEC) inverter is presented. Unlike the existing strategies, which are based on proportional-integral controller, developed packed-U and PEC inverters, proposed PR-based achieves zero steady-state error in grid current. Furthermore, it eliminates necessity of employing loop regulating dc capacitor volta...

Background: Coronary artery bypass surgery is one of the surgeries in which high blood transfusions are needed. About 20% of all surgical operations require a blood transfusion. Packed cell administration increases perioperative morbidity and mortality. In the United States, from every 1000 people, one has undergone a coronary artery bypass graft surgery, and it is estimated that around 800,000...

A new Modified Packed U-Cell (MPUC) converter architecture with cascading is proposed in this paper. To provide an output voltage of 25 levels, the cascaded MPUC needs only twelve power switches and four sources. The comprises two MPUCs DC supply a ratio 5:1. One operating at low frequency (LF) other high (HF) that leads to lower losses higher levels. Besides, variable method anticipated produc...

Pullulanase from Bacillus acidopullulyticus was purified on a packed bed and a fluidized bed of calcium alginate beads. The binding of enzyme activity to the medium was found to follow Langmuir isotherm pattern. The maximum binding capacity was 1476 U ml(-1) matrix and the dissociation constant was 142 U ml(-1). The dynamic binding capacities at 5% breakthrough in the packed and fluidized beds ...

Maximizing cell growth rate and cell yield are among the most important features of a successful mammalian cell culture production process. To minimize time and resources needed to scale up cell mass it is important to maintain the cultures in exponential growth at every scale. Here we report results comparing viable cell counts, packed cell volume, intracellular nucleotide ratios, cell cycle a...

The sorption of thorium and uranium ions by functionalized SBA–15 mesoporous silica materials with Schiff base ligating groups N–propylsalicylaldimine (SBA/SA) and ethylenediaminepropylesalicylaldimine (SBA/EnSA) from aqueous solution was investigated in fixed-bed column method. The TEMPeffect of pH, sample solution volume, and the column design parameters such as sample and eluent flow rat...
