A sensitive chemiluminescence (CL) method was developed for determining melamine in urine and plasma samples based on the fact that melamine can remarkably enhance the chemiluminescence of Luminol-K3 Fe(CN)6 system in alkaline medium. The determination conditions were optimized. Under optimum conditions, the chemiluminescence intensity had a good linear relationship with melamine in the range o...

background and aims. different clinical studies have reported high survival rates in immediate implant placement in extraction sockets with periapical lesions. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of er:yag laser irradiation on success rate of immediate implant placement in tooth extraction sockets with chronic periapical lesions. materials and methods. thirty patients requiring ...

Modern hydrometallurgical techniques have been adopted to produce high-purity gold. Many extractants were used for the extraction of gold from various synthetic solutions from which DiButyl Carbitol (DBC) had a unique superiority. Kinetics of process was studied in this paper and the influence of several parameters such as stirring speed, agitation time, impeller type, interfacial area, [Au...

Purpose: To compare the adverse events after the use of 2 conventional methods of magnetic intravitreal foreign body (IVFB) extraction and to identify the prognostic factors in a series of patients with retained IVFB. Design: Retrospective comparative interventional case series. Participants: Seventy-one eyes of 71 patients with IVFB undergoing foreign body extraction. Methods: A retrospective ...

In this paper heartbeat interval extraction methods using Doppler radar are reviewed. While single channel CW radar offers simple architecture and signal processing, this method is very sensitive to subject position. Quadrature radio architecture is used to overcome this limitation. The use of linear and non-linear demodulation methods was explored for heartbeat interval extraction, and it was ...

Technetium-99m hexakis 2-methoxy-2-isobutyl isonitrile (Tc-MIBI) and thallium-201 extraction, washout, and retention were investigated and compared in 20 isolated, isovolumic, retrograde blood-perfused rabbit hearts at flow rates ranging from 0.5 to 3.5 ml/g wet wt min-1 in the absence of tracer recirculation. Mean Tc-MIBI peak instantaneous extraction was lower (0.55 +/- 0.10, p less than 0.00...

In this work, we propose an algorithm to extract the fetal heart rate variability from an ECG measured from the mother abdomen. The algorithm consists of two methods: a separation algorithm based on second-order statistics that extracts the desired signal in one shot through the data, and a hearth instantaneous frequency (HIF) estimator. The HIF algorithm is used to extract the mother heart rat...
