چکیده

HERE IS PROBABLY NO PROCEDURE more commonly used in clinical laboratories than hemoglobinometry and few that are less satisfactory in their results. The deficiencies may reside, in part, in inadequacies of the chosen method. In larger part, however, they result from manipulative errors in the measurement and processing of the samples of blood. The latter involve questions of technical proficiency which are entirely within the control of the analyst himself. When, however, he converts his observations-gasometric or photometric readings, measurements of specific gravity, etc.-to grams of hemoglobin in 100 ml. of blood, he must depend upon his own calibration or a calibration supplied by an instrument maker, 1)0th procedures involving a conversion factor taken from the literature. To be satisfied that the calibration remains valid for the instrument, reagents, and technical routines in use in his laboratory, he should periodically undertake a precise and time-consuming series of standardizations. If a uniform hemoglobin standard were available nationally and a single method of analysis widely practiced, the individual laboratory would then have assurance not only that its results would be comparable from month to month, but that they would also be comparable with those from other laboratories employing the same standard. Inconsistencies in results that persisted under these conditions could then be clearly attributed to technical and maiiipulative errors.

Proposal of lateral load pattern for pushover analysis of RC buildings

The proposal lateral load pattern for pushover analysis is given in two forms for symmetric concrete buildings: 1-(X/H)0.5 for low-rise and mid-rise buildings, 2- Sin(ΠX/H) for high-rise buildings. These two forms give more realistic results as compared to conventional load patterns such as triangular and uniform load patterns. The assumed buildings of 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 30 story concrete bui...
