Comparison of a modified microagglutination technique for HBsAg with the standard technique and a new RIA system.

چکیده
A further modification of the standard RPHA technique (Hepatest, Wellcome Reagents) for the detection of HBsAg is described. This modification does not require a centrifugation step which is required by the other modifications that have been described previously and consequently takes a little longer to perform. It does, however, retain the advantages of increased sensitivity and decreased costs which are also features of the other modifications. A series of 939 routine clinical specimens were used to evaluate the method described and to evaluate a new RIA kit for the detection of HBsAg (Hepatube, Wellcome Reagents). Of 53 specimens found to be positive for HBsAg by RIA, 50 (94% were detected by the modified Hepatest RPHA as opposed to 47 (89%) by the standard technique.

A New Hybrid Heuristic Technique for Unit Commitment and Generation Scheduling
This paper proposes a novel technique for solving generation scheduling and ramp rate constrained unit commitment. A modified objective function associated with a new start-up cost term is introduced in this paper. The proposed method is used to solve generating scheduling problem satisfying SRR, minimum up and down time as well as ramp rate constraints. Two case studies are conducted to imp...

The main aim of the present study is to propose a modified harmony search (MHS) algorithm for size and shape optimization of structures. The standard harmony search (HS) algorithm is conceptualized using the musical process of searching for a perfect state of the harmony. It uses a stochastic random search instead of a gradient search. The proposed MHS algorithm is designed based on elitism. In...
