An important problem with cell-switched technologies such as Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is the provision of customized multiplexing behavior to applications. This customization takes the form of setting up processes in the network and end-points to meet application "Quality of Service" (QoS) requirements. The proposed thesis work examines the necessary components of a software architectur...

A single dilution enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), utilizing a reference serum with a known, predetermined end-titre was used to compute antibody titres of serum samples against African horsesickness virus. Compared to the complement fixation test it was found to be highly reproducible and sensitive. The assay also reduced the effect of between-test variations on test results and prov...

Different PCR protocols have been established for detection of European fruit trees phytoplasmas; however the majority of the procedures for extracting phytoplasma DNA are complex, time consuming, and expensive, with a risk of contamination or loss of target DNA. In present study, a crude extract preparation method previously used to detect other plant pathogens was adapted to samples from appl...

In this research the sensitivity analysis of the geometric parameters such as: length, thickness and width of a single link flexible manipulator on maximum deflection (MD) of the end effector and vibration energy (VE) of that point are conducted. The equation of motion of the system is developed based on Gibbs-Appel (G-A) formulation. Also for modeling the elastic property of the system the ass...

We studied the influence of specially prepared highly diluted thyroxine on the spontaneous tendency of juvenile frogs, which were at the end of thyroxine-controlled metamorphosis, to leave the water and climb onto land. The test dilution with a thyroxine concentration beyond Avogadro's value (dilution thyroxine D30) and the reference (dilution water D30) were prepared according to directions fr...

The standard method for the determination of serum calcium based upon the precipitation of calcium oxalate and titration with permanganate does not lend itself to a micromethod because of the difficulty in handling very small precipitates. This difficulty is not encountered in the direct titration of calcium with the chelating agent, disodium dihydrogen ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA). Schwa...

Abstract. Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are novel green with great potential in many industrial applications. Due to their high tunability, DESs can be synthesized and prepared into various concentrations by dilution water. This work revolutionises the determination of selected DESs’ water activity using inferencing respective freezing point depression. Using Hildebrand-Scott equation, depressi...
