Bioanalysis is determining the concentration of drugs and metabolites in biological fluids (i.e. plasma and urine). During the past 15 years tremendous advances in bioanalysis, for example HPLC, auto injectors, data collection systems and robotics has enabled the productivity of the bioanalyst to increase but it still requires considerable manual intervention. This paper describes the rationale...

Cryoballoon ablation has been demonstrated to allow safe and effective isolation of pulmonary veins (PV) for the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Recently, the second-generation cryoballoon device has been developed (Arctic Front Advance, Medtronic CryoCath LP) with improved cooling capabilities by increasing the number of refrigerant injectors, resulting in homogeneous cooling of t...

Background Primary care physicians and emergency dept. physicians are often called upon by patients to determine whether individual patients should be prescribed adrenaline auto-injectors (AAI’s). Although these patients are often also referred to an allergist to help determine whether their condition warrants this, the wait may often be for months. We set out to determine how accurate referrin...

Characteristics of diesel sprays injected through Cummins medium-duty ISB injectors were studied experimentally in an optically accessible constant-volume combustion vessel. The experiments performed with ultra-low-sulfur (ULSD) under non-reacting and non-vaporizing conditions, including different ambient gas densities (23–65 kg/m 3 ), injection pressures (500–1,500 bar), duration times (0.5–1....

This paper introduces new oil recovery mechanisms for by polymer injection in heavy reservoirs with strong bottom aquifers. Due to unfavorable mobility ratio between aquifer water and the development of sharp cones significant amount remains unswept. To overcome these issues, case demonstrated this paper, a pilot was executed three horizontal injectors, located few meters above oil/water contac...

Being an energy source of another origin, the compression ignition (CI) engine’s typical design parameters might not suit Simarouba oil methyl ester (SuOME). Present experimental investigation targets are determining effects engine parameters, including fuel injection pressure and nozzle geometry, on engine, concerning performance emissions such as carbon monoxide (CO), unburnt hydrocarbon (HC)...
