The objective of this research consisted of developing the two following thermal food processing software: “F-CALC” is software developed to carry out thermal process calculations based on the wellknown Ball's formula method, and “OPT-PROx” is software for thermal food processing optimization based on variable retort temperature processing and global optimization technique. Time-temperature dat...

INTRODUCTION Dead space negatively influences carbon dioxide (CO(2)) elimination, particularly at high respiratory rates (RR) used at low tidal volume ventilation in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Aspiration of dead space (ASPIDS), a known method for dead space reduction, comprises two mechanisms activated during late expiration: aspiration of gas from the tip of the tracheal tube ...

Abstract In the setting of $\operatorname{CAT}(\kappa)$ CAT(?) spaces, common fixed point iterations built from prox mappings (e.g. prox-prox, Krasnoselsky–Mann relaxations, nonlinear projected-gradients) converge locally linearly under assumption linear metric...

Passenger vehicles fueled by hydrocarbons or alcohols and powered by proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells address world air quality and fuel supply concerns while avoiding hydrogen infrastructure and on-board storage problems. Reduction of the carbon monoxide concentration in the on-board fuel processor’s hydrogen-rich gas by the preferential oxidizer (PrOx) under dynamic conditions is cru...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to examine the expression levels of lymphatic endothelial markers in colorectal cancer and to explore the correlation between the expression levels of markers and lymph node status. METHODS Forty-seven paired fresh tumor tissues and para-cancerous tissues were collected from colorectal cancer patients who received surgical treatment between August 2015 ...

The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter ProU from Escherichia coli translocates a wide range of compatible solutes and contributes to the regulation of cell volume, which is particularly important when the osmolality of the environment fluctuates. We have purified the components of ProU, i.e., the substrate-binding protein ProX, the nucleotide-binding protein ProV and the transmembrane prote...
