original paper   the mass-transfer media plays a significant role on the performance of a packed tower. in this paper three counter-current single-stage packed towers at laboratory scale, randomly packed with two different sizes of two types of packing material were experimentally tested to study the role of the packing on the performance of them in the removal of sulfuric acid mists. gas sampl...

1. The effect of rapid intravenous infusion of 25 ml of isotonic sodium chloride solution (saline)/kg body weight on extracellular fluid volume (ECFV, 82Br distribution volume), plasma volume (131I-labelled albumin distribution volume) and blood volume (from plasma volume and packed cell volume) was studied in nine normal subjects and a group of 11 patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). ...

background: the performance and parasitology of semi-intensively managed west african dwarf (wad) lambs were evaluated following exposure to gastrointestinal helminth infected paddock and varied protein-energy feeds. methods: twenty four lambs obtained from the department of animal breeding and genetics and brought to directorate of university farm (dufarm) of federal university of agriculture ...

The permeability coefficients of dog red cell membrane to tritiated water and to a series of[(14)C]amides have been deduced from bulk diffusion measurements through a "tissue" composed of packed red cells. Red cells were packed by centrifugation inside polyethylene tubing. The red cell column was pulsed at one end with radiolabeled solute and diffusion was allowed to proceed for several hours. ...

A 10-year-old spayed female Maltese presented with purpura and hematemesis. Initial laboratory evaluation revealed immune-mediated thrombocytopenia, but evidence of hemolytic anemia was not identified. Three milligrams human intravenous immunoglobulin (hIVIG) administered for 3 hours following prednisolone mycophenolate mofetil. pale mucous membrane identified, the packed cell volume decreased ...

1. Plasma volume, packed cell volume (PCV), blood pressure, extracellular fluid volume (ECFV) and evans blue disappearance rate were measured in conscious spontaneously hypertensive rats and in weight-matched Wistar normotensive rats. 2. Over the weight range studied (250-350 g), plasma and blood volumes were significantly lower in the spontaneously hypertensive rat. Extracellular fluid volumes...
