First pass urine (FPU) samples were compared with urethral swab culture from 304 males attending a genitourinary medicine clinic using an enzyme immuno assay (EIA). All of the EIA positive samples were retested by incorporating a novel blocking reagent into the EIA protocol; 101 were positive by culture of which 83 were also positive by FPU EIA, an additional four were detected in FPU only and ...

Many papers investigated, in a variety of ways, the so-called "FPU state" Fermi-Pasta-Ulam model, namely state, intermediate between initial state and equipartition, that system soon reaches if initially one or few long-wavelength normal modes are excited. The FPU has been observed, particular, to obey characterizing scalings laws. aim this paper is twofold: First, reviewing commenting literatu...

The immobilization of cellulases could be an economical alternative for cost reduction of enzyme application. The derivatives obtained in the immobilization derivatives were evaluated in recycles of paper filter hydrolysis. The immobilization process showed that the enzyme recycles were influenced by the shape (drop or sheet) and type of the mixture. The enzyme was recycled 28 times for sheets ...

We investigate periodic FPU chains with an even number of particles. We show that near the equilibrium point, any such chain admits a resonant Birkhoff normal form of order four which is completely integrable—an important fact which helps explain the numerical experiments of Fermi, Pasta, and Ulam. We analyze the moment map of the integrable approximation of an even FPU chain. Unlike the case o...

We study stability of N-soliton solutions of the FPU lattice equation. Solitary wave solutions of FPU cannot be characterized as a critical point of conservation laws due to the lack of infinitesimal invariance in the spatial variable. In place of standard variational arguments for Hamiltonian systems, we use an exponential stability property of the linearized FPU equation in a weighted space w...

The study implemented an FPGA-based face detector using Neural Networks and a scalable Floating Point arithmetic Unit (FPU). The FPU provides dynamic range and reduces the bit of the arithmetic unit more than fixed point method does. These features led to reduction in the memory so that it is efficient for neural networks system with large size data bits. The arithmetic unit occupies 39~45% of ...

In general, the FPU and processor are decoupled in the method for FPU integration, in which the communication between them requires software intervention and ultra-precision FPU is unsupported. To avoid this problem, a method based on fine-grained control for integration of FPU into the RISC processor is proposed in this paper. In terms of operand width of floating-point instructions, the metho...

Native aspen (Populus tremuloides) was pretreated using sulfuric acid and sodium bisulfite (SPORL) and dilute sulfuric acid alone (DA). Simultaneous enzymatic saccharification and fermentation (SSF) was conducted at 18% solids using commercial enzymes with cellulase loadings ranging from 6 to 15 FPU/g glucan and Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y5. Compared with DA pretreatment, the SPORL pretreatment ...
