Filter paper discs saturated with dried blood can be used in the Immunotube solid-phase thyroxine radioimmunoassay. This assay utilizes polypropylene tubes to which antibody to thyroxine is covalently bound. The filter paper standards and samples are placed in the tubes, followed by an assay buffer that contains I125-labeled thyroxine and compounds to displace thyroxine from its binding protein...

In this work, we propose a fully automated WBCs isolation device from biological sample utilizing centrifugal microfluidics on a polymer based CD platform. Using the novel Laser Irradiated Ferrowax Microvalves (LIFM) and liquid density gradient medium on CD platform, the total process of a blood sample loading on the density gradient medium, fractionating to concentrate the WBC, decanting plasm...

Abstract The upscaling of pea protein extraction from laboratory scale with a centrifuge to pilot decanter was investigated, and the efficiency dry milled pre-treated peas compared. Upscaling is possible since starch under limit detection (< 0.5%). banding pattern sodium-dodecyl-sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis confirmed that albumins globulins were extracted by alkali extraction. ...

In this study, the combustion of olive byproducts was investigated using TG-FTIR technique. Different types biomass were considered: twigs, leaves, olive-mill waste from two-phase decanting method, and wastewater three-phase system. The reaction regions, ignition, burnout temperatures at different heating rates determined TG/DTG analysis thermogravimetry results. Comprehensive combustion, burno...

Abstract. Coccolithophores play a key role in the marine carbon cycle and ecosystem. The carbonate shells produced by coccolithophore, named as coccolith, could be well preserved sediment for millions of years become an excellent archive paleoclimate studies. micro-filtering sinking–decanting methods have been successfully designed coccolith separation promoted development geochemistry studies ...

Decanter illustrates a heuristic approach to extraction for information retrieval and question answering. Generic information about argumentative text is found and stored, easing user-focused, questiondriven access to the core information. The emphasis is placed on the argumentative dimension, to address in particular three types of questions: “What are the points?”, “Based on what?” “What are ...

Reuse has been proposed as a microarchitecture-level mechanism to reduce the amount of executed instructions, collapsing dependencies and freeing resources for other instructions. Previous works have used reuse domains such as memory accesses, integer or not floating point, based on the reusability rate. However, these works have not studied the specific contribution of reusing different subset...

In the phosphate industry, thickening process is vital to increasing solid slurry concentration and recovering water that as clear possible. The performance of depends mainly on coagulation–flocculation effect. based flocculant agents concentrate particles: flotation washing plant rejects large flocs, which accelerate their sedimentation velocity. industry worldwide uses synthetical flocculants...

Despite many advantages, the technologies studied to eliminate astringency from cashew apple juice are not all accessible and adopted by processors due lack of financial means access these sophisticated technologies. Thus, formulation mixed based on passion fruit has proved be a way adding value apple, co-product production nut. After in different proportions sensory evaluation, it appears that...

Context The Controlled Drugs (CD) (Supervision of Management and Use) Regulations 2013 lays out the legislation for monitoring management use CDs. 1 Inaccurate counting poor record keeping CDs can reduce staff time patient facing activities. 2 It is a national recommendation that visual inspections stock balance should happen in various points: periodic volume checks to confirm on completion bo...
