BACKGROUND The EQ-5D is a health-related quality of life instrument which provides a simple descriptive health profile and a single index value for health status. The latest version, the EQ-5D-5L, has been translated into more than one hundred languages worldwide - including Thai. This study aims to assess the measurement properties of the Thai version of the EQ-5D-5L (the 5L) compared to the E...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES CNDP1 gene, present on chromosome 18q22.3-23, encodes carnosinase, the rate-limiting enzyme in hydrolysis of carnosine to ß-alanine and L-histidine. Linkage of CTG trinucleotide (leucine) repeat polymorphism in CNDP1 gene with diabetic nephropathy has been observed in several populations. However, this association is conflicting and population-dependent. We investigated ...

Analisa kimia air terproduksi fluida yang mengalir melalui jalur pipa API 5L Grade B memiliki kadar chloride (Cl - ) sangat tinggi. merupakan salah satu senyawa paling agresif terutama dalam keadaan terlokalisasi akan mengakibatkan terbentuknya pitting corrosion . Oleh karena itu sebagai upaya untuk mengetahui morfologi korosi secara atomic terjadi pada terpasang telah dilakukan pengujian kompo...

This paper evaluates the effects of microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) on fatigue-crack growth of candidate materials useful in expanding bio-ethanol usage, including a storage-tank steel (ASTM A36) and two pipeline steels (API 5L X52 and X70). The microbiological species sampled and cultivated from an ethanol fuel production stream are responsible for both acetic acid and hydrogen su...
