Material and methods. A total of 44 adult (>15 years) patients (from initially 45 tested) with acute leukemia who were consecutively admitted at the Clinic of Hematology-Skopje from January through June 2008, were enrolled in this study. The MPF was introduced for the first time in the Republic of Macedonia and was performed at the Institute for Immunobiology and Human Genetics, Faculty of Medi...

We analyze the urban propagation channel through careful investigation of the data obtained from a series of wideband measurements. We try to estimate the wave scatterers in the channel by comparison of the cluster received waves appearing in the directional power delay profiles (PDP) to precise maps of the environments including all present objects. The analysis of the measurement results show...

An efficient load flow solution technique is required for taking various control and operations decisions. This paper presents an efficient and robust load flow algorithm for application to transmission and distribution networks. In order to face keen competition in market, the coordinated operation between transmission and distribution systems is required. Therefore, the transmission and distr...

Although uncommon, different kinds of foreign bodies, most of which metallic, have been reported to enter the appendix. The present report describes a case with a metallic foreign body-induced appendicitis, and makes suggestion in regards to the diagnosis and management of the problem. A metallic foreign body was accidentally observed in the right lower quadrant region in an abdominal X-ray tak...

The mono-metallic and bi-metallic catalysts have been prepared by impregnating with solutions containing a compound of H2PtCl6,WO3 and 1ml HCl (0.1 mol). It should be noted that the catalysts’ activity and selectivity have been determined under these conditions : 450-5000C ,and 15-25atm by H2. For converting n-heptane , the molar ratio H2/C7H16 is 5 , and LHSV is 1.5ml/h. It has been proved tha...

While numerous studies have described the pathogenic and carcinogenic effects of nickel compounds, little has been done on the biological effects of metallic nickel. Moreover, the carcinogenetic potential of metallic nickel nanoparticles is unknown. Activator protein-1 (AP-1) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) have been shown to play pivotal roles in tumor initiation, promotion, and progression. Mut...

determination a sequence of extracting ore is one of the most important problems in mine annual production scheduling. production scheduling affects mining performance especially in a poly-metallic open pit mine with considering the imposed operational and physical constraints mandated by high levels of reliability in relation to the obtained actual results. one of the important operational con...

Introduction: Foreign Body Aspiration (FBA) represents a life-threatening emergency .It occurs primarily in children below 3 years. Generally, the most common aspirated FB is organic material such as nuts or beans. Sharp Foreign Bodies (FBs) are of particular concern to the attending clinician, because of their potential to perforate the air passage and cause possible complications. Here in, we...
