Temperature jump studies of aqueous @-lactoglobulin have been conducted between pH 3.7 and 2.0, where a reversible dissociation of the protein into two identical subunits has been reported to occur, using methyl orange as an indicator. Two relaxation processes have been observed, both of which can be attributed to intramolecular interactions between the indicator dye and protein rather than to ...

OBJECTIVE Exercise induced hypotension is a specific but insensitive indicator of severe coronary artery disease. Skin blood flow is subject to control by baroreceptor mediated reflexes as well as thermoregulatory reflexes. Monitoring skin temperature or the skin to central temperature gradient may be a more sensitive indicator of impaired cardiac output response to exercise than hypotension. ...

Background: Blood transfusion is an important treatment modality in the modern health care system; however, transmitted infections(TTI) could be fatal or life-threatening some cases.Objective: To determine occurrence of infections among dependent thalassemia patients and to study socio-demographic characteristics recipients.Methods: This hospital-based descriptive longitudinal studywas conducte...

Abstract Context Helicopter-based shooting has been widely used to kill deer in Australasia, but the animal welfare outcomes of this technique have not evaluated. Aim To assess helicopter-based Australia by quantifying fates seen and shot at, duration procedures number location bullet wounds deer. Methods Three control operations were assessed. These targeted: (1) chital (Axis axis) Queensland,...

The I −Z colour has been recently shown to be a good temperature indicator for M dwarfs. We present the first IZ photometry of a small sample of L dwarfs ranging in spectral type from L0.5V to L6.0V. We find that the I − Z colour is not a good temperature indicator for objects between L1V and L5V, such objects having colours that overlap with mid M dwarfs. We attribute this to the reduction in ...

The purpose of this research paper is to develop a framework to understand the consumer’s preference affecting variables and consumer’s perception choice in telecommunication service providers in India. The present study use a hybrid approach to access the relative efficiency based on fuzzy AHP and DEA model. The fuzzy AHP is used to determine weights of the consumer’s preference as criteria an...

The workflow for the practical application of the automated focusing analysis in time domain is demonstrated by deriving the TTI anisotropy parameters, epsilon and delta, from the previous VTI work in a small portion of the MC Revival survey located in the Mississippi Canyon area. The improvements are achieved for focusing of the dip events, optimized fault plane position, and imaging for base ...

The separation of wave-modes for isotropic elastic wavefields is typically done using Helmholtz decomposition. However, Helmholtz decomposition using conventional divergence and curl operators in anisotropic media only partially separates the elastic wave-modes. The separation of anisotropic wavefields requires operators which depend on local material parameters. Wavefield separation operators ...
