A micro-thermistor probe was inserted into the buccal cavity of freely swimming paddlefish to measure flow velocity during ram ventilation, ram suspension feeding and prey processing. Swimming speed was measured from videotapes recorded simultaneously with the buccal flow velocity measurements. Both swimming velocity and buccal flow velocity were significantly higher during suspension feeding t...

Microparticles are widely used as solid phase for affinity-based separation. Here, we introduce a new method for automated handling of microparticles in centrifugal microfluidics that is not restricted by the particle size and requires neither auxiliary means such as magnets nor coating of microfluidic structures. All steps are initiated and controlled by the speed of rotation only. It is based...

conclusions there was no meaningful relationship between the mortality rate of patients with mi who were either opium-dependent or non-opium-dependent. the number of re-hospitalizations due to heart problems was meaningfully higher in the opium-dependent patients; hence, educating people and training them on the destructive effects of opium, specifically in patients with heart conditions is hig...

A suspension encapsulates everything needed to execute a piece of code many times in the same context: the need for this feature exists in constraint solver programming, where (part of) a predicate checking the satisfiability of a set of a constraints needs to be re-executed every time the domain of a concerned variable changes. Traditional extensions of the WAM support a heap term and metacall...

conclusions most patients are referred for restaging and demonstrate evidence of regional or distant metastasis with significant value for further treatment planning. providing insurance coverage and familiarizing referring physicians about appropriate indications of this relatively new diagnostic modality will be to the best interest of head and neck cancer patients in long term. methods we re...

re-vegetation of bare soil is believed to increase, or at least maintain the organic matter levels of soil. the aim of this study was to investigate the soil characteristics changes, nutrient pool sizes and their availability under mid canopy, and canopy gap positions of saltbush in an area re-vegetated with atriplex lentiformis. some of the physical and chemical soil characteristics (the parti...

OBJECTIVE To develop an extemporaneous 1% benznidazole (BNZ) suspension, with masked taste and adequate stability starting from available commercial tablets. The quality of compounding was evaluated through content uniformity measurement and physical and microbiological stability evaluation, under different storage conditions during 90 days. METHODS Six batches of 1% BNZ suspension were prepa...
