The coronavirus disease, namely Covid-19 infection, which was declared a worldwide epidemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2020, first seen Wuhan, China last months of 2019 and has affected whole world. Early diagnosis this rapidly spreading is important to prevent disease. For reason, methods such as image processing, deep learning, machine learning have become detect early. In stud...

methods coupled to isotope dilution–high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry for measuring four isoflavones (daidzein, genistein, equol, and O-desmethylangolensin) and two lignans (enterolactone and enterodiol) in urine are developed. The SPE recoveries for the online SPE method are excellent for most analytes (83–94%) and somewhat lower for enterolactone (61%). The recov...

OBJECTIVE To define the performance characteristics of the LOCI® method for cardiac troponin I on the Dimension EXL system. DESIGNS AND METHODS Three different levels of commercial control (mean concentrations 0.426, 1.42, and 18.64 µg/L) were used for the imprecision study, quantifying separately within-run and between-run over 20 days. The limit of blank (LoB) and limit of detection (LoD) w...

The market for SiC devices is growing rapidly in Asia, US and Europe. Applications include heterojunction transistors where SiC emitters allow forming high gain, high speed, and radiation hardened devices. SiC is particularly attractive for the power device manufacturers due to its wide band gap and high thermal conductivity. For all applications, the electrical properties of the SiC epitaxial ...

The latex agglutination method by Wako (HA LT) shows excellent analytical characteristics that make it appropriate for clinical practice. The test is now easily automated and can be performed on most routine clinical chemistry analysers. For example, using a Beckman Coulter AU640 analyser Guéchot et al. measured the imprecision from within-run CV to be up to 2.12% and from between-run CV to be ...

Cholesterol concentrations in serum high-density and low-density lipoproteins are simultaneously determined simply, specifically, and rapidly by use of the precipitation method with heparin, Ca2+, and an anion-exchange resin. The isolation of lipoproteins is reproducible, selective, and complete, as judged by electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gel and by immunoelectrophoresis, with use of sample...

An improvement to the traditional Finite Volume Method (FVM) for the solution of boundary value problems is presented. The new method applies the local Hermitian interpolation with Radial Basis Functions (RBF) as an interpolation scheme to the FVM discretization. This approach, called the Control Volume-Radial Basis Function (CV-RBF) method, uses an interpolation scheme based on the meshless Sy...

The assessment of musculo-articular stiffness (MAS) with the free-oscillation technique is a popular method with a variety of applications. This study examined the sources of variability (load applied and frequency of oscillation) when MAS is assessed. Over two testing occasions, 14 healthy men (27.7±5.2 yr, 1.82±0.04 m, 79.5±8.4 kg) were measured for isometric maximum voluntary contraction and...

BACKGROUND There is a growing interest in designing instruments to assess obsessive-compulsive symptoms in children. The Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Child Version (OCI-CV) has showed to be a valid in the evaluation of OCD in clinical and nonclinical populations. The main goal in this study was to analyze factor structure and psychometric properties of the OCI-CV in a community Spanish sample...

Objective: Risk score models and the diagnosis of a metabolic syndrome are useful for cardiovascular (CV) risk prediction. The identification of individuals with high CV and metabolic risk is essential to provide appropriate prevention and therapy. The present study aims at clarifying whether these indicators are altered by a weight reduction programme. Additionally, which diagnostic tool has a...
