Three types of microbead calibrators available for quantitative fluorescence flow cytometry have been studied in parallel using a variety of monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs). The QIFI kit is designed for indirect immunofluorescence (IF), and both the Quantum Simply Cellular (QSC) assay and the Quanti-BRITE assay are designed for direct IF. Because of the different nature of the respective ligands,...

A highly sensitive flow injection-chemiluminescence detection (FI-CL) method based on pyrogallol (Pg) chemiluminescent reagent (CLreagent) oxidized by periodate for the determination of propranolol is presented. The presented method is an indirect CL detection method based on the CL emission generated during the oxidation of Pg with the excess of periodate that remains after oxidation of propra...

I discuss the importance of the O(g4m2t/M 2 W ) corrections to the effective electroweak angle and MW in the indirect determination of the Higgs mass. I emphasize the rôle of a very preciseMW measurement on the MH estimate. ∗ Talk presented at the Zeuthen Workshop on Elementary Particle Theory ”Loops and Legs in Gauge Theories” Rheinsberg, Germany, April 19-24, 1998

Recent results on Kaon physics are summarized. Progress in the determination of direct and indirect CP violation parameters and improvements in the CPT invariance are reported. The special role of helicity suppressed modes and their sensitivity to new-physics is discussed.

Radiative penguin decays provide an indirect probe for physics beyond the Standard Model and contribute to the determination of the CKM matrix elements. Copious quantities of B mesons produced at the B–Factories permit precision measurements of radiative penguin decays. We review the experimental status of the radiative penguin processes b → s(d)γ.

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using commercially available reagents was compared with standard serological tests for determination of antibody titers in patients with acute measles. The measles-specific ELISA was as sensitive as complement fixation, hemagglutination inhibition, and indirect fluorescent-antibody methods. The ELISA method used was simple, sensitive, inexpensive, an...

Aside from their value in the indirect determination of the blood pressure the sounds at the brachial artery provide other valuable clinical information. Their value in blood pressure determination in auricular fibrillation generally has been found to be limited. By using a simple technic involving the counting of the brachial-artery-sound deficit, a satisfactory, repeatable method of blood pre...

Sc3CH@C80 is synthesized and characterized by (1)H, (13)C, and (45)Sc NMR. A large negative chemical shift of the proton, -11.73 ppm in the Ih and -8.79 ppm in the D5h C80 cage isomers, is found. (13)C satellites in the (1)H NMR spectrum enabled indirect determination of the (13)C chemical shift for the central carbon at 173 ± 1 ppm. Intensity of the satellites allowed determination of the (13)...

The progress of the research work of the author and his colleagues on the field of CL-emission generated by pyrogallol oxidation and further application for the direct determination of periodate and indirect or direct determination of other compounds through flow-injection manifold/CL-detection set up is described. The instrumentation used for these studies was a simple flow-injection manifold ...

In jaggery making furnaces, sugarcane bagasse is used as fuel. Moisture content of bagasse affects its calorific value. So burning of bagasse at suitable level of moisture is essential from the viewpoint of furnace performance. Moisture content can also be used for indirect calculation of fibre content in sugarcane. Normally gravimetric method is used for moisture content determination, which i...
