We conducted an emission measurement campaign as a part of multiyear cookstove intervention trial in two rural locations northern and southern India. 253 uncontrolled cooking tests measured emissions control households during three ~3-month-long periods each location. pollutants including fine particulate matter (PM2.5), organic elemental carbon (OC, EC), black (BC) monoxide (CO) from stoves ra...

Abstract Fishway design not only takes into account the swimming abilities of target fishes, but also considers hydrodynamic characteristics within fishway. In this study, flow fields one vertical-slot fishway ( i.e. VSF), five T-shape fishways TSF-1~TSF-5) and two H-shape (i.e. HSF-1 HSF-2) are numerically simulated by solving three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations K-Omega...

Based on the application of a beam-column joint with replaceable energy-dissipating elements and hinged proposed by author, seismic performance fully assembled steel frame this was investigated in paper. Through two projects traditional (TSF) an applying joints (ASFWREE) their numerical simulation calculation SAP2000, main structural design indicators such as natural vibration period, period ra...

Toothpastes should have a minimum concentration of 1000 ppm of fluoride (F) to control caries and also the active F agent must be chemically free (soluble) in the formulation. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the concentration of soluble F in dentifrices used by 206 Brazilian children. The concentrations of total fluoride (TF), total soluble fluoride (TSF) and fluoride ion were deter...

We report the nucleotide sequence of the four min region of the Escherichia coli genetic map that includes the genes for ribosomal protein S2 (rpsB) and translation elongation factor EF-Ts (tsf), and the possible location of regulatory sites within this two gene operon. The data indicate that the gene order is: rpsBp-rpsB-tsf-tsft. One potential regulatory site is a 16 nucleotide sequence in th...

In IEEE 802.11 Power Saving (PS) mode specified for Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS), mobile stations announce their pending data packets within Announcement Traffic Indication Message (ATIM) window immediately after the reception of Time Synchronization Function (TSF) beacon. This paper proposed modifications to the PS mode by transmitting the TSF beacon at the end of each ATIM window. Upo...

Serological analysis of idiotypic specificities present in azobenzenearsonate (ABA)-specific first-order suppressor T cell factors (TsF1) from C.AL-20 and BALB/c mice revealed a significant difference between TsF from these two strains of mice. The idiotypic composition of TsF1 from BALB/c mice appears to be more heterogeneous, and at least two different fractions can be readily identified. One...

PURPOSE To compare the two transscleral fixation (TSF) techniques of intrascleral pocket and conventional scleral flap with conjunctival division techniques in terms of short-term clinical effects. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included all consecutive patients with aphakia in Gyeongsang National University Hospital in Jinju, Korea, who underwent TSF between January 2012 and Decembe...

BACKGROUND Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the most common microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus and the main cause of end-stage renal disease. Present medications for DKD are not entirely satisfactory. Preliminary studies indicate that the Chinese herbal formula Tangshen Formula (TSF) appears to decrease the proteinuria and improve the estimated glomerular filtration rate (e...

The objective of this study was to describe and compare the tricipital (TSF) and subscapular skinfold (SSF) thickness according to demographic, socioeconomic, behavioral, and biological characteristics in adolescents from Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. A cross-sectional study nested in a birth cohort (n = 4,452; mean age = 11 years) was conducted. The outcomes were defined as skinfol...
