the effect of membrane molecular weight cut off (mwco) at three levels (10, 20 & 50 kd) on dynamic behavior of permeate flux (jp), hydraulic resistances (total hydraulic resistance, rt; reversible fouling resistance, rrf; irreversible fouling resistance, rif and membrane hydraulic resistance, rm) and milk solutes rejection (protein, rp; fat, rf; lactose, rl; minerals, rm and total solids, r...

The effect of membrane molecular weight cut off (MWCO) at three levels (10, 20 & 50 kD) on dynamic behavior of permeate flux (JP), hydraulic resistances (total hydraulic resistance, RT; reversible fouling resistance, Rrf; irreversible fouling resistance, Rif and membrane hydraulic resistance, Rm) and milk solutes rejection (protein, R<s...

ADAR1, an interferon (IFN)-inducible double-stranded (ds) RNA-specific adenosine deaminase, downregulates host innate responses, including activation of the dsRNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR) and induction of IFN-β mRNA. Conversely, PKR amplifies IFN-β induction by measles virus (MV) and inhibits virus protein synthesis. Formation of stress granules (SGs), cytoplasmic aggregates of stalled tr...

Abstract Kawasaki disease (KD, typical/atypical/partial) admissions (n = 644) were surveyed from 2017 to 2020 and compared urinary tract infection (UTI) COVID-19 in 2020. KD decreased by 27% median age 2020, whereas UTI remained steady. showed a seasonality with peak April nadir February-March. All KD/KD-related pediatric intensive care unit cases tested negative for COVID-19, no multisystem in...

background and aim: kawasaki disease (kd) is an acute childhood febrile illness with world­wide incidence and the highest incidence occurs in asian children, with coronary arteritis being the main complication. sensorineural hearing loss (snhl) has also been described as a comp­lication of kd in several articles. the aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of snhl in patients with kd t...

This letter presents an effective data-driven anomaly detection scheme for automatically recognizing unbalanced sitting posture in a wheelchair using data from pressure sensors embedded the wheelchair. Essentially, designed approach merges desirable features of kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) as feature extractor with Kantorovich distance (KD)-driven monitoring chart to detect abnorm...

Phenotypic assays using human primary cells are highly valuable tools for target discovery and validation in drug discovery. Expression knockdown (KD) of such targets in these assays allows the investigation of their role in models of disease processes. Therefore, efficient and fast modes of protein KD in phenotypic assays are required. The CRISPR/Cas9 system has been shown to be a versatile an...

Nearest neighbor searching is a fundamental building block of most sampling-based motion planners. We present a novel method for fast exact nearest neighbor searching in SE(3)—the 6 dimensional space that represents rotations and translations in 3 dimensions. SE(3) is commonly used when planning the motions of rigid body robots. Our approach starts by projecting a 4-dimensional cube onto the 3-...

In this study, we explore the utility of data structures that facilitate efficient nearest neighbor searches for application in multi-source forest attribute prediction. Our trials suggest that the kd-tree in combination with exact search algorithms can greatly reduce nearest neighbor search time. Further, given our trial data, we found that enormous gain in search time efficiency, afforded by ...
