The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is paid much more attention because of the high overpotential required for driving four-electron process in field storage and sustainable energy conversion, including fuel cell applications. In this paper, PtCo nanoparticles encapsulated on carbon supports were prepared by a simple modified polyol method with ethylene glycol. Structural as well electrochemica...

In this paper, we propose a new full-fuzzy video ratecontrol algorithm (RCA) for variable bit rate (VBR) videoapplications. The proposed RCA provides high qualitycompressed video with a low degree computational complexity.By controlling the quantization parameter (QP) on a picturebasis, it produces VBR video bit streams. The proposed RCAhas been implemented on the JM H.264/AVC video codec andth...

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive cancer, and most patients present with cancer already spread beyond the lung. The receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) c-MET has been implicated in various solid tumors, including SCLC, and is involved in mediating tumorigenesis, cell motility, scattering, invasion and metastasis. Mutations of c-Met have been described in renal papillary carcinoma and ga...

Abstract: Objectives: More pharmacy practice research has to be done investigate the impact of Perceived organizational support (POS), demographics, and Job motivation (JM) on satisfaction (JS) pharmaceutical sales executives (PSE) in marketing industry. The objectives study were evaluate predictive effects POS, JM, demographic attributes PSE JS. Secondly, explore relationship between POS indic...

Fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF-1) induces neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells. Recently, we have shown that the FGF receptor 1 (FGFR-1) is much more potent than FGFR-3 in induction of neurite outgrowth. To identify the cytoplasmic regions of FGFR-1 that are responsible for the induction of neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells, we took advantage of this difference and prepared receptor chimeras containi...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the Minolta/Hill-Rom Air-Shields Transcutaneous Jaundice Meter model JM-103. METHODS We studied a convenience sample of 849 newborns > or =35 weeks of gestation in 3 hospitals. These infants had total serum bilirubin (TSB) levels measured on clinical indication, and transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) levels were obtained within 1 hour of the T...
