Great variation exists in the nature of LHD service delivery and it varies, in part, relative to jurisdiction population size. Larger LHD jurisdictions may achieve an economy of scale in WIC service delivery that is not matched in smaller areas. Overall, we found that WIC service provision appears relatively consistent across study states and in the presence of increasing need, with greater res...

Using biodiesel in place of petroleum diesel is considered by several underground metal and nonmetal mine operators to be a viable strategy for reducing the exposure of miners to diesel particulate matter. This study was conducted in an underground experimental mine to evaluate the effects of soy methyl ester biodiesel on the concentrations and size distributions of diesel aerosols and nitric o...

OBJECTIVES Left heart disease (LHD) is the main cause of pulmonary hypertension (PH), but little is known regarding the predictors of adverse outcome of PH associated with LHD (PH-LHD). We conducted a systematic review to investigate the predictors of hospitalisations for heart failure and mortality in patients with PH-LHD. DESIGN Systematic review. DATA SOURCES PubMed MEDLINE and SCOPUS fr...

PURPOSE Orally active anticancer drugs have great advantages for the treatment of cancer. Compelling data suggest that heparin exhibits critical antimetastatic effects via interference with P-selectin-mediated cell-cell binding. However, heparin should be given parenterally because it is not orally absorbed. Here, we evaluated the inhibitory effect of orally absorbable heparin derivative (LHD) ...

Dynamics of ion internal transport barrier (ITB) formation and impurity transport both in the Large Helical Device (LHD) heliotron and JT-60U tokamak are described. Significant differences between heliotron and tokamak plasmas are observed. The location of the ITB moves outward during the ITB formation regardless of the sign of magnetic shear in JT-60U and the ITB becomes more localized in the ...

We have carried out absolute calibrations of the LHD YAG Thomson scattering system by using Raman scattering and Rayleigh scattering in order to verify the applicability of Rayleigh calibration in the LHD Thomson scattering, and make a comparative study of Raman and Rayleigh calibrations. In the LHD Thomson scattering device, Rayleigh calibration is expected to give more reliable calibration fa...

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)...

The oral delivery of macromolecules is a topic of much interest as this would undoubtedly improve patient acceptance and compliance with chronic regimens. Heparin and insulin are perhaps among the first candidates that should be considered for oral macromolecule delivery systems. Heparin is the most potent anti-coagulant known for the prevention of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, a...
