In R (on the application of Bridges) v Chief Constable South Wales Police Court Appeal held deployment live automated facial recognition technology (AFR) by Force (SWP) unlawful on three grounds. It violated right to respect for private life under Article 8 European Convention Human Rights because it lacked a suitable basis in law; Data Protection Impact Assessment carried out section 64 Act 20...

Major and minor ascorbate free radical (AFR) reductases, with diaphorase activity, and three other diaphorases were separated from the human lens soluble fraction by DEAE-cellulose ion-exchange column chromatography. They were characterized for adsorptivity to ion-exchange and 5'AMP-Sepharose 4B affinity columns, kinetic properties, and substrate specificity. The latter diaphorases were closely...

The diabetogenic action of alloxan is thought to be initiated by generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Ascorbate can be an antioxidant in a predominantly aqueous environment, such as plasma and extracellular fluids. We have investigated the generation of ROS in the interaction of alloxan with ascorbate. Rapid oxygen consumption was observed in the reactin system of alloxan with ascorbate...

STUDY OBJECTIVES Direct current (DC) shocks to the heart cause morphologic and functional myocardial damage. Previous studies have suggested that acute DC shock injury is free radical mediated and that the administration of antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase and catalase can reduce the level of DC shock-induced free radicals. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are clinically u...

Rubber wood (Ficus elastica) is one the biomass waste that can be used as raw material for a gasification process and has a calorific value of 4,069 cal/gram. Gasification is a process to convert a solid fuel to syngas (CO, CH4, and H2) through a combustion process using limited air between 20% to 40% of air stoichiometry. Depending on the direction of airflow, the gasifiers are classified as u...

Methane is one of the main gas species produced during biomass gasification and may be a desired or undesired product. Syngas CH4 concentrations are typically >5 vol-% (when desired) 1–3 even when efforts made to minimize it, while thermochemical equilibrium calculations (TEC) predict complete decomposition. How generated sustained in reactor core not well understood. To investigate this, accur...

BACKGROUND Skin injuries, such as lacerations due to trauma, are relatively common, and patients are very concerned about the resulting scars. Recently, the use of ablative and non-ablative lasers based on the fractional approach has been used to treat scars. In this study, the authors demonstrated the efficacy and safety of ablative fractional resurfacing (AFR) for traumatic scars using a 2,94...

BACKGROUND Priority-setting decisions are based on an important, but not sufficient set of values and thus lead to disagreement on priorities. Accountability for Reasonableness (AFR) is an ethics-based approach to a legitimate and fair priority-setting process that builds upon four conditions: relevance, publicity, appeals, and enforcement, which facilitate agreement on priority-setting decisio...

Maximizing the fuel economy while lowering exhaust emissions highly depend on precise air-fuel ratio (AFR) control. The major challenge in control of AFR is time-varying delay, which an inherent reason for performance degradation and instability. For analysis, time delay approximated by Padé approximation, leading to a non-minimum phase system that exhibits difficulty controlling due its zeroes...
