The conventional, low flux (LF) dialyser allows the removal of small molecular solutes like urea and creatinine. The removal of middle molecules (molecular weight between 500D and 60,000 D, which is nearly the size of albumin) is relatively low. Cystatin C has attractive characteristics as a representative middle molecule. Objective: To determine per dialysis Cys C reduction ratio (RR) in low f...

BACKGROUND Serum β-trace protein (βTP, MW 23-29 kDa) is a marker of GFR impairment in renal patients. Recent papers propose to predict residual renal function (RRF) in maintenance haemodialysis (MHD) patients from serum concentrations of βTP and other small proteins, avoiding the collection of urine. Few data are available on the removal of βTP in patients treated with dialysis membranes with d...

in this paper an indirect method is presented to detect potential geothermal sites in kerman province, southeast iran. geothermal heat flux is one of the main parameters to be investigated in geothermal exploration programs. however, few direct heat flux measurements are available for iran. given the proved relation between curie depths and heat flux, magnetic data can be used to calculate the ...

Cultured mammalian cells exhibit elevated glycolysis flux and high lactate production. In the industrial bioprocesses for biotherapeutic protein production, glucose is supplemented to the culture medium to sustain continued cell growth resulting in the accumulation of lactate to high levels. In such fed-batch cultures, sometimes a metabolic shift from a state of high glycolysis flux and high la...

In this study, the behavior of nanoparticles using a numerical model is discussed. For this study a model for the expansion in free convection heat transfer and mix in a rectangular container with dimensions of 1 × 4 cm using Nano-aerosols in the air is going when copper nanoparticles, use and by changing the temperature difference between hot and cold wall, we will examine its impact on the ra...

[1] A strong correlation between the behavior of low-energy (tens to hundreds of keV) and high-energy (>1 MeV) electron fluxes measured at geosynchronous orbit has been discussed, and this correlation is further enhanced when a time offset is taken into account. A model has been developed incorporating this delay time between similar features in lowand high-energy electron fluxes to forecast th...
