Lipids (XII)

xii Preface

As information modeling takes a more prominent role in organizations and the implications become more widespread, researchers, practitioners and academicians alike will need to have access to the most up-to-date research and practice in information modeling techniques and applications. The chapters in this book address the timely topics of unified modeling language, enterprise resource planning...

Psychophysics of Reading: Xii

Clinicians need to estimate how well their low-vision patients will perform everyday visual tasks such as reading or driving. Typically, it is not practical to measure task performance directly or to administer a lengthy series of special tests. Recent laboratory research has suggested that some routine clinical data may be useful in predicting reading performance. The purpose of the present st...

Hæmatological Technique Part XII

Factor XII Deficiency

Factor XII ia a single-chain beta-globulin serine protease with a molecular weight of 80,000 84,000 daltons and a plasma concentration of approximately 30 pg/mL. Proteolytic cleavage of factor XII is mediated by charged surfaces (glass, kaolin, cellite, dextran sulfate, endotoxin, urates, crude collagen, sulfatides), autoactivation, and kallikrein. Prekallikrein, factor XI, factor VII, plasmino...

Xii. Operations Plan

The operating program for BPX after the achievement of first plasma may conveniently be divided into a preliminary phase and a burn physics phase, the latter forming the major focus of the project. The preliminary phase includes the development tasks and physics studies necessary to reach the high-Q plasma regime. In this section, we describe the operational plan for the preliminary phase and t...
