Thermodynamic and Heat Transfer Evaluation of Pocket Drying Section in the Multi-Cylinder Dryers of Paper Machine

In this study a developed model has been used to evaluate the paper drying process and examine the pocket dryer conditions of a multi-cylinder fluting paper machine. The model has been developed based on the mass and energy balance relationships in which the heat of sorption and its variations with paper temperature and humidity changes have been taken into account. The applied model can be use...

The mechanism of aubstrate eecognition of pyroglutamyl-peptidase I from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens as determined by X-ray crystallography and site-directed mutagenesis.

Pyroglutamyl-peptidase is able to specifically remove the amino-terminal pyroglutamyl residue protecting proteins or peptides from aminopeptidases. To clarify the mechanism of substrate recognition for the unique structure of the pyrrolidone ring, x-ray crystallography and site-directed mutagenesis were applied. The crystal structure of pyroglutamyl-peptidase bound to a transition state analog ...

Complementary health insurance, out- of- pocket expenditures, and health services utilization: A population- based survey

Background: Studies have shown that people using complementary health insurances have more access to health services than others. In the present study, we aimed at finding the differences between out- of- pocket payments and health service utilizations in complementary health insurances (CHIs) users and nonusers.    Methods:  Propensity score matching was used to compare the 2 g...

The Binding of Antigenic Peptides to HLA - DR Is Influenced by Interactions between Pocket 6 and Pocket 91

Accuracy of Amniotic Fluid Index and Single Deepest Pocket Measurements in Predicting the Outcomes of Prolonged Pregnancies

Introduction: Two techniques for sonographic evaluation of amniotic fluid are Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI) and Single Deepest Pocket (SDP).  In this study,we aimed to determine the accuracy of AFI and SDP in predicting prolonged pregnancy outcomes. Methods: In this prospective, double-blinded, cohort study, 362 women with more than 40 weeks of gestational age were evaluated. Both AFI and SDP meth...

Nurses' Perceptions of Using a Pocket PC for Shift Reports and Patient Care

Nurses working in hospitals with paper-based systems often face the challenge of inefficiency in providing quality nursing care. Two areas of inefficiency are shift-to-shift communication among nurses and access to information related to patient care. An integrated IT system, consisting of Pocket PCs and a desktop PC interfaced to a hospital’s mainframe system, was developed. The goal was to us...
