BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intracranial atherosclerotic stroke (ICAS) has various stroke mechanisms, including branch occlusive disease (BOD), subcortical infarcts caused by parent arterial disease occluding the perforator's orifice, and non-BOD, infarcts beyond the subcortical area caused by artery-to-artery embolism. To test whether these 2 types of ICAS had different vascular pathophysiologies, ...

Hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant agent was used for desulfurization of a petroleum hydrocarbon fraction (C10-C22) with boiling range of 175-375 ℃, (light fuel oil) in the presence of acetic acid as catalyst. The oxidation was performed in an ultrasonic bath. It is found that increasing the amount of hydrogen peroxide lead to increase the oxidation rate and so desulfurizatio...

In order to reduce the functional degradation caused by improper daily washing-care and prolong service life of technical jacket, relationship between washing conditions in wearing performance jacket (waterproof, windproof, warmth retention) was quantitatively investigated with help hydrostatic pressure, surface contact angle, air permeability, retention, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) afte...

The inactivation of a redox enzyme, bilirubin oxidase (BOD), by heat and guanidine hydrochloride (GuHCl) was studied by two bioelectrochemical methods. One is a conventional method, which measures the inactivation of BOD in solution, and the other is a method using a BOD-immobilized electrode (a membrane/BOD/GC electrode), which measures the inactivation of BOD in the immobilized state. The res...

Received for publication 12 July 1968. ashed in a muffle furnace at 600'C for at least three hours. Of the acid ammonium sulphate, 10 ml, and 30 ml of water are added to the ashed sample, and after warming to dissolve soluble material the contents are decanted with washing into a 50 ml centrifuge tube, the BaSO4 being washed into the tube as far as possible. The tube is centrifuged for 5 min, t...

Our original method for the determination of the total aminoacid nitrogen’ (free plus conjugated), although it gave accurate results and has been used successfully by ourselves and others, required a somewhat cumbersome manipulation before the urines were ready for the final amino determination. After being acidified and heated in the autoclave to hydrolyze the urea, the ammonia was boiled off ...

BACKGROUND: To investigate the effect of body temperature and moisture on body fat (%fat), volume and density by air-displacement plethysmography (BOD POD). METHODS: %fat, body volume and density by the BOD POD before (BOD PODBH) and immediately following hydrostatic weighing (BOD PODFH) were performed in 32 healthy females (age (yr) 33 +/- 11, weight (kg) 64 +/- 14, height (cm) 167 +/- 7). Bod...

The health of older people is receiving special attention and dedication nowadays, with the aim of increasing their general wellbeing and quality of life. Studies into different aspects of the care of the elderly have found that emphasis should be given to solving problems related to bathing in different situations and environments. In particular, it is important to develop new assistive techno...

Water is used for various human activities such as drinking, bathing, washing and recreation. The physicochemical as well as microbiological qualities of water samples collected over a period of ten months from five swimming pools in five randomly-selected hotels in Osogbo metropolis, Southwestern Nigeria were assessed. The collection of the fifty water samples spanned the dry and rainy seasons...
