The design, fabrication, and operation of a radial capillary array electrophoresis microplate and scanner for high-throughput DNA analysis is presented. The microplate consists of a central common anode reservoir coupled to 96 separate microfabricated separation channels connected to sample injectors on the perimeter of the 10-cm-diameter wafer. Detection is accomplished by a laser-excited rota...

118 LLE Review, Volume 94 Introduction High-quality targets must be provided to achieve successful results from OMEGA cryogenic experiments.1 One type of target is a thin-walled polymer capsule with a fuel layer of solid deuterium (D2) or deuterium/tritium (DT) ice, approximately 100 mm thick, uniformly distributed on the inner wall of the capsule.2 To create the fuel layer, the capsule is plac...

The process industry is increasingly making use of Risk Based Inspection (RBI) techniques to develop cost and/or safety optimal inspection plans. This paper proposes an adaptive Bayesian decision model to determine these optimal inspection plans under uncertain deterioration. It uses the gamma stochastic process to model the corrosion damage mechanism and Bayes’ theorem to update prior knowledg...

−− A simplified approach is presented to the transient atmospheric dispersion of accidental releases of natural gas, originated by leakages in pressurized ducts on sea level. In this scenario, shutoff valves are used for instantaneous shutdown of tube operation, isolating the harmful inventory, whose transient release is simulated providing estimations of gas instantaneous atmospheric concentra...

Abstract During the normal operation of a pressurized water reactor plant, RPN430KA (quadrant power tilt rate over 3%) alarms were issued several times, and alarm frequency increased with increase burnup, which affected unit. The original signal this is from four range channels (RPN). After process filtering, if difference between maximum minimum nuclear still greater than 3%, will be triggered...

The efficiency of combining high-pressure processing (HPP) and active packaging technologies to control Listeria monocytogenes growth during the shelf life of artificially inoculated cooked ham was assessed. Three lots of cooked ham were prepared: control, packaging with alginate films, and packaging with antimicrobial alginate films containing enterocins. After packaging, half of the samples w...

The world is continuously searching for ways to improve how water used energy. As the population increases, so do needs natural resources and, in turn, This research sought show has tried achieve more sustainable forms of pressurized distribution and results that have been obtained. In this sense, technologies production clean energy, energy recovery instead dissipation, reprogramming pumping s...

Engine efficiency and emissions depend on the fuel atomization dispersion. The dispersion heavily ambient pressure temperature. In this work, to study Diesel sprays in engine conditions, an electrically heated, constant-volume, pressurized vessel was designed manufactured. controlling electronics software were developed tested ensure safe precise operation. A commercial Bosch six-hole automotiv...

A new system of femoral cement pressurization is presented that attempts to produce sustained and elevated cement pressure. Five paired cadaver femora were pressurized with Simplex cement, and PFC femoral components were inserted. One of each pair was pressurized with the new system, and 1 was pressurized with an existing device. Pressure was recorded at the proximal and distal levels. After cu...

BACKGROUND The majority of early trauma deaths are related to uncontrolled, noncompressible, parenchymal hemorrhage from truncal injuries. The purpose of this study was to formulate a fibrin sealant foam (FSF) able to control severe parenchymal bleeding without compression or vascular control. MATERIALS AND METHODS FSF with high fibrinogen concentration (20 mg/mL) and low thrombin activity (5...
