Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is a plasma Kunitz-type serine protease inhibitor that directly inhibits coagulation Factor Xa and also inhibits tissue factor-initiated coagulation. Normal human plasma TFPI exists both as the full-length molecule and as variably carboxy-terminal truncated forms. We reported recently that the low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein mediates the c...

To devise an activation technique for characterizing mixed radiation fields, secondary particles from a copper target irradiated by 24 GeV/c protons were measured at the CERN High-energy AcceleRator Mixed field facility (CHARM). Activation detector sets consisting of aluminum, niobium, indium, and bismuth, placed 30 cm angles 15° to 160° with respect beam axis. The nuclides generated in these d...

A posteriori estimates of errors in quantities of interest are developed for the nonlinear system of evolution equations embodied in the Cahn–Hilliard model of binary phase transition. These involve the analysis of wellposedness of dual backward-in-time problems and the calculation of residuals. Mixed finite element approximations are developed and used to deliver numerical solutions of represe...

A tracer test was carried out in a geothermal doublet system to study the injection behavior of a developed reservoir known to be fractured. The doublet produces about 320 gpm of 160' F heating and then injected; the wells are spaced 250 ft apart. observed in 2 hours and 45 minutes in the production well, indicating fracture flow. However, the tracer concentrations were low and indicated porous...

A new cherniluminescent reaction for captan-hydrogen peroxide in alkaline medium is described and applied through a FIA manifold to a determination of captan. The FIA assembly consists of a channel in which the oxidant (hydrogen peroxide) and the medium (NaOH solution) are mixed in situ and then the resulting mixture merges with the carrier (NaOH solution) where an aliquot of 582.1 p1 of the sa...

Gasoline–water mixed injections are of great interest because their advantages for reduced manufacturing costs and improved atomization, with the potential to alleviate engine detonation reduce emissions. In this work, based on principle impinging flow, a real-time gasoline–water mixture preparation system internal combustion engines was designed performance compared standard swirl mixing techn...
