Fe (II) forms a coloured ternary complex with SCR in presence of 1,10-Phen which have molar absorptivity of 3.56x104 mole-1 cm-1 at pH 5.0 and λmax 520 nm. The complex contains three molecules of 1,10-Phen coordinated to Fe (II) ion and one molecule of SCR through ion association giving the overall formula Fe (II) (SCR) (Phen)3. Beer’s law range is 0.0223-1.6084 ppm and Sandell’s sensitivity 0....

Histiocytosis represents a group of rare disorders characterized by nonneoplastic proliferation of histiocytes and solitary cutaneous reticulohistiocytosis (SCR) is a form of non-Langerhans histiocytosis. SCR consists of small papule, usually single, varying in color from yellow to brownish-red, more frequent in young adults, and uncommon in childhood. We report a case of SCR in an 11-year-old ...

If adopted by EPA, proposed new regulations on stack emissions will force many utilities with coalfired boilers to reduce their NOx emissions to levels which are substantially lower then can be achieved with current low NOx burner technology. To meet these requirements, some utilities are anticipating the need to use selective catalytic reduction (SCR) for NOx control. New SCR catalysts under d...

In this paper, we describe spoken document retrieval systems in Ryukoku University, which were participated in NTCIR-10 IR for Spoken Documents (“SpokenDoc-2”) task. In NTCIR-10 “SpokenDoc-2” task, there are two subtasks: “spoken term detection (STD) subtask” and “ad-hoc spoken content retrieval (SCR) subtask”. We participated in the SCR subtask as team RYSDT. In this paper, our SCR systems are...

This paper describes spoken term detection (STD) and spoken contents retrieval (SCR) techniques and their evaluations at the NTCIR-10 SpokenDoc-2 task. First of all, we describes our STD technique using a phoneme transition network (PTN) derived from multiple speech recognizers’ outputs and its evaluations at the STD and the iSTD (inexistent STD) tasks. Next, we introduce our SCR technique usin...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the incidence and risk factors of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients undergoing fluorescein angiography (FA). METHODS One hundred sixty patients who underwent FA as a part of ophthalmic examination and had serum creatinine (SCr) results within 24 h before FA and within 72 h after FA between 2005 and 2013 at a tertiary medical center were included. According ...

PURPOSE A case of nephrotoxicity possibly caused by tobramycin inhalation solution is presented. SUMMARY A 62-year-old Caucasian woman was admitted for treatment of decreased urine output and sepsis secondary to Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Her past medical history was significant for multiple diseases, including chronic renal insufficiency (baseline serum creatinine concentration [SCr] 2 mg/dL). ...

Factor H (FH) regulates the activation of C3b in the alternative complement pathway, both in serum and at host cell surfaces. It is composed of 20 short complement regulator (SCR) domains. The Y402H polymorphism in FH is a risk factor for age-related macular degeneration. C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute phase protein that binds Ca(2+). We established the FH-CRP interaction using improved a...

Renal impairment is associated with an increased risk of carotid atherosclerosis and stroke, determinants of cognitive dysfunction and dementia. The purpose of this study was to determine whether moderate renal impairment is associated with incident dementia among community-dwelling older adults. Participants in the Cardiovascular Health Cognition Study without prevalent dementia (n = 3349) wer...
