The fabrication, optimization and validation of measurement using a modified carbon paste electrode (CPE) with dibenzo-18-crown-6 were carried out for the determination paracetamol in commercial products. pH, concentration paste, scan rate parameters optimized. Validation was observed from linear range, LoD, LoQ, precision, percentage recovery. result showed that optimum pH at 2, 0.6%, rates 35...

Analysis of fractal systems (i.e. systems described by fractional differential equations) necessitates to create an electrical analog model of a crucial subsystem called Constant Phase Element (CPE). The paper describes a possible realization of such a model that is quite simple and in spite of its simplicity makes it possible to simulate the properties of ideal CPEs. The paper also deals with ...

Entropy-based image thresholding are used widely in image processing. Conventional methods are efficient in the case of bilevel thresholding. But they are very computationally time consuming when extended to multilevel thresholding since they exhaustively search the optimal thresholds to optimize the objective functions. In this paper, we propose a conditional probability entropy (CPE) based on...

Chronic postoperative endophthalmitis (CPE) is a delayed infectious intraocular inflammation process that occurs more than six weeks after ocular surgery and frequently masquerades as autoimmune uveitis. These cases are at risk of delayed diagnosis and erroneous long-term treatment with corticosteroids. This paper aims to review the epidemiology, microbiology, clinical characteristics, diagnosi...

This paper gives a brief overview of the capabilities of the 2.0 release of SAS/CPE" software running under the VMSoperating system. Each of the possible sources of raw data is discussed sepa~ rately and in comparison with one another. A discussion of the CPETOOL command and the CPE Menu System is included, along with examples of their use in data collection, management, and analysis. Examples ...

Diabetes mellitus is associated with reductions in glutathione, supporting the critical role of oxidative stress in its pathogenesis. Antioxidant food components such as flavonoids have a protective role against oxidative stress-induced degenerative and age-related diseases. Flavonoids constitute an important part of the human diet; they can be found in most plant foods, including green tea, gr...

Proneuropeptides are packaged into dense-core vesicles in which they are processed into active peptides by copackaged enzymes. Proprotein convertases (PCs) cleave precursors after dibasic residues, and carboxypeptidases remove basic residues from the C terminals. We show here that the Caenorhabditis elegans egl-21 gene encodes a protein that is very similar to carboxypeptidase E (CPE) and is br...

The matrix (M) protein of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) plays an important structural role in viral assembly, and it also has a regulatory role in viral transcription. We demonstrate here that the M protein has an additional function. It causes visible cytopathic effects (CPE), as evidenced by the typical rounding of polygonal cells after VSV infection. We have analyzed a temperature-sensiti...

Andrias davidianus ranavirus (ADRV) is an emerging viral pathogen that causes severe disease in Chinese giant salamanders, the largest extant amphibian in the world. A fish cell line, Epithelioma papulosum cyprinid (EPC), and a new amphibian cell line, Chinese giant salamander spleen cell (GSSC), were infected with ADRV and observed by light and electron microscopy. The morphological changes in...
