Activated leukocytes and fat particles are associated with organ injury after a cardiac surgery. Filters are currently used to remove either leukocytes or fat particles. A novel approach with a filter that combines leukocyte and fat removal might be clinically useful. As it is not known which type of filter has a good and safe performance in both leukocyte and fat removal, we measured in this s...

In the field of digital signal processing, the function of a filter is to remove unwanted parts of the signal such as random noise that is also undesirable. To remove noise from the speech signal transmission or to extract useful parts of the signal such as the components lying within a certain frequency range. Filters are broadly used in signal processing and communication systems in applicati...

In recent work, thermal energy gaps. AE, it °PUPS gas, Ana; Gibbs free energy gaps, AG.,, between singlet(s) and triplet 0) states of 5.12C3H2C, I m (4 N. P. As and Sb) were calculated and compared with thoseanalogues. MC2113C, (M= CIL N. P. As and Sb) at B3LYIE6-311-NG" level of theory. Our itself showedthat Gibbs free energy gaps. AG, for l uu and 1 p are less than IS and I's, respectively. I...

an air filter is a significant element of any mechanical ventilation system. however, the importance and performance evaluation of air filters have not been well publicized and related scientific reports are scarce. in this study, a transportable, off-line, air filter-testing unit (the unit) was designed and utilized to simulate the filter housing of a mechanical ventilation system. the unit wa...

A rapid, simple, and quantitative filter-binding assay using glass fiber filters has been developed to detect the convalent adenovirus DNA-terminal protein complex. The assay is unusually sensitive because binding of protein-free DNA generally is less than 0.1%. Binding of the adenovirus complex to filters is mediated by terminal protein. We have found that: (i) the adenovirus complex binds max...

Numerical comparison serves as a major tool in evaluating the performance of optimization algorithms, especially nondeterministic but existing methods may suffer from ‘cycle ranking’ paradox and/or ‘survival non-fittest’ paradox. This paper searches for paradox-free data analysis numerical comparison. It is discovered that class sufficient conditions exist designing ...

The property that describes the neuron's preferred response to inputs of injected current is called resonance. To produce resonance, a cell must have two requirements: a low-pass filter (attenuates high frequencies) and a high-pass filter (attenuates low frequencies). The neuron whose resonance frequency we wish to determine is the PY neuron of the STNS (stomatogastric nervous system) of Cancer...
