AIMS To investigate the effect of a pneumatic tube system (PTS) on the results of samples sent for blood gas analysis to a central laboratory. METHODS Blood gas samples were analysed immediately or sent via the PTS to the laboratory for analysis. In addition, samples sent via the PTS in a pressure sealed container were compared with those sent non-pressure sealed to the laboratory. RESULTS ...

Siumimiary. A deamlinlase specific for 4-aminopyrinmidine nucleosi(les has been found in rye grass. Lolimn perennle. TI'he pH optimiium., temperature stability. Km valtues and specificity ws'as determined. A new and more accurate method for following the course of deamination is reported. This metho(d depends on the shift in maximumii absorbance wavelength of the mixtuire conltaiing the 4-an-in...

a comparison with the same period in 1992 without the oximeter. Setting: An adult medical ED of a university hospital in France. Patients: All patients who underwent ABG or Sp02 measurements. Interventions: During the prospective study, residents ordered ABG or Sp02 measurements at their discretion. The reasons for their ordering were reviewed by two independent experts who determined whether t...

For the Pyrrhonian skeptic, disagreement is an integral part of the skeptical way of inquiry (see Pyrrhonian Outlines I 165).1 The fact that there is undecidable disagreement about a given issue makes the Pyrrhonian skeptic unable to decide that issue, and suspension of judgment emerges. But is suspension of judgment the appropriate response in this case? In this paper, I address two related to...

We consider a general QBD process as defining a FIFO queue and obtain the stationary distribution of the sojourn time of a customer in that queue as a matrix exponential distribution, which is identical to a phase-type distribution under a certain condition. Since QBD processes include many queueing models where the arrival and service process are dependent, these results form a substantial gen...

Veselá H., Šucman E. (2013): Determination of acrylamide in food using adsorption stripping voltammetry. Czech J. Food Sci., 31: 401–406. A new electroanalytical method for the determination of acrylamide in food has been developed. It was found that a complex of acrylamide and Ni2+ is suitable for the electrochemical determination of acrylamide. Ammonia buffer of pH = 9.5 was found to provide ...
