Diagnosis of active tuberculosis by detection of urinary lipoarabinomannan (uLAM) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis is an attractive approach. Concentrating urine 100-fold allowed quantitation of uLAM at levels equal to picograms/ml of nonconcentrated urine. The approach of concentrating urine 100-fold improved the clinical sensitivity of the Clearview TB enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)...

vibration generated by vehicles during road transport has an important effect on the agricultural products damage process, particularly vegetable and fruit. modulus of elasticity is one of the most important mechanical properties of fruits and its variation can be described as one of the damage criteria during transportation. this research was conducted to evaluate the effects of vibration para...

Over the past decade, a number of manuals have been developed for rural road roundabouts in Russian Federation. However, two- and three-lane are designed operated cities Federation do not yet that take into account specific features this urban intersections. The development such involves defining all multi-lane roundabout characteristics which used consistent calculations capacity, traffic dela...

JAVMA, Vol 243, No. 10, November 15, 2013 A precision and accuracy in residue chemistry are constantly improving toward the goal of a safe food supply. On July 6, 2012, the USDA FSIS announced a restructuring of the US NRP with respect to sampling of compounds in meat, poultry, and egg products and the scheduling of animal production classes. The FSIS has also implemented several new MRMs for a...
