The study was undertaken to evaluate a new method of estimating plasma fibrinogen levels, gravimetrically using calcium chloride in albino rats. The results were compared with the standard method in which thrombin was used as clotting agent and were found to be statistically not significant. Advantages of using calcium chloride instead of thrombin have been discussed.

Blender and feeder are very important devices in a polymer processing plant. The accuracy in delivering the polymer to the plastification unit is a fundamental property for the quality of the final product. To maximize accuracy and precision gravimetric feeder are the best available solution, which measure the weight of the hopper and the feeder. In these devices, it is possible to estimate the...

We describe a simple gravimetric technique for measuring the standing crop or production of carbohydrate-rich solutions such as honeydew or nectar. Simulated honeydew was sampled by absorbing droplets of solutions of known concentration and volume with dried and weighed pieces of filter paper. The change in mass of the paper after redrying provides an estimate of the total solution carbohydrate...

With the procedure which is described, brain tissue is separated into six fractions, the sum of whose weights equals the dry weight of the tissue. Three of these primary fractions are further separated into subfractions. Recovery is quantitative at each step. The procedure, as applied to rat brain, gave consistent results; duplicate analyses of the two halves of brains, divided as equally as po...

In this paper we present fixed point results for generalized α-ψ-contractive type mappings in dislocated metric spaces. We also provide some examples to illustrate our results. References 1.
