Steady-state enzyme kinetics is a cornerstone technique of biochemistry and related sciences since it allows the characterization quantification behaviour. Enzyme widely used to investigate physiological role enzymes, determine effects mutations characterize inhibitors. Well-known examples inhibitors treat diseases include anti-infectives (e.g., penicillin, clavulanic acid HIV protease inhibito...

seepage in earth fill dams is one of the important factors that may cause the erosion and slope instability if it is ignored. therefore, it is crucial to calculate the leakage discharge through the body of dam and foundation, to prevent economic and life hazards by considering technical and economical issues. in this research, the seepage analysis of the body and the stability of the upstream a...

This paper develops a framework for state-space estimation when the parameters of the underlying linear model are subject to uncertainties. Compared with existing robust filters, the proposed filters perform regularization rather than de-regularization. It is shown that, under certain stabilizability and detectability conditions, the steady-state filters are stable and that, for quadratically-s...

We present results from an individual particle based model for the collision, coagulation and fragmentation of heavy drops moving in a turbulent flow. Such a model framework can help to bridge the gap between the full hydrodynamic simulation of two phase flows, which can usually only study few particles and mean field based approaches for coagulation and fragmentation which rely heavily on para...

sickle cell disease is a genetic haemoglobinopathy with consequent haemolysis and anaemia. it is of interest to study its effect on red cell indices beside haemoglobin concentration.the objective of the study is to determine the values of red cell indices in preschool-age children with sickle cell anaemia.we conducted a cross-sectional study including 97 children with sickle cell anaemia aged s...

background: sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder of hemoglobin causing myriad of pathology including anemia. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the baseline values of steady state hemoglobin and packed cell volume as a guide to managing the early recognition of hemolytic crises in sickle cell anemia. methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted among the sickle cell patients atten...

Homeostatic control of cell volume and intracellular electrolyte content is a fundamental problem in physiology and is central to the functioning of epithelial systems. These physiological processes are modeled using pump-leak models, a system of differential algebraic equations that describes the balance of ions and water flowing across the cell membrane. Despite their widespread use, very lit...
