The greater use of microeconomic and survey based data in addressing key financial stability related questions is a natural outcome of the recent financial crisis. Amongst other benefits, the use of such data enables a more precise understanding of the differing attitudes and responses of individual agents such as households to financial shocks. However, some difficulties can arise with the use...

The need for a multiple-target compound selectivity programme led to the establishment of a single robotic system that produces a compound's serial dilution and its distribution to multiple replicate assay plates. A Genesis RSP 150 integrated into a Zymate Laboratory Automation System XP produced the serial dilutions, and the subsequent replicate assay plates were produced quickly and accuratel...

Many cases of severe environmental contamination arise from historical episodes, where recalcitrant contaminants have resided in the environment for a prolonged time, leading to potentially decreased bioavailability. Use of bioavailable concentrations over bulk chemical levels improves risk assessment and may play a critical role in determining the need for remediation or assessing the effectiv...

Introduction: β2-microglobulin and prolactin are medium-molecular-weight toxins. We believe that the rate of removal these molecules, using filters with two different surfaces, in post- pre-dilution haemodiafiltration, will be interest to literature. Methods: studied, 12 haemodialyzed patients, those, filter surface 2.5 m2 (Group A) or 2.1 B) post-dilution a C). Results: Satisfactory (best post...

BACKGROUND Random errors in the measurement of risk factors lead to bias in the exposure-disease association. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to examine the extent of underestimation in the association of total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and triglyceride (TG) with cardiovascular disease (CVDs) in the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study. PATIENTS AND METHODS Of 632...

A simplified method has been developed for agar dilution antimicrobial susceptibility testing of anaerobic bacteria, designed to economize on time and money when only a few isolates need to be tested. The procedure is based on the principle of using filter paper disks as carriers of the antibiotic and 35- by 10-mm petri dishes which, when inoculated with the Steers replicator, can test up to fo...

Now-aday’s quality of the products is the primary concern for the customers. Customers value their money and always prefer the quality product. Tobacco industry is a potential industry and its growth is also related with national GDP. About one percent of our GDP is used in consumption of tobacco product that is why it becomes a huge market for the competitors of tobacco industry. As the cigare...
