Tri-sodium citrate, the focus of this article, is one such alternative. The article will include consideration of the anticoagulant properties of citrate, some detail of how tri-sodium citrate is used to anticoagulate the dialysis pathway, and the advantages of using citrate rather than standard heparin anticoagulation. The use of tri-sodium citrate is not without risk; the potentially harmful ...

The first example of a triply cyclometalated homopolynuclear tri-Ir(III) complex with additional carbene donors is presented. Cooperative catalysis and the interplay between homogenous and heterogeneous catalyses are discussed for the tri-Ir(III) complex and a related non-cyclometalated tri-Pd(II) complex.

This article addresses a general tri-objective two-echelon capacitated vehicle routing problem (2E-CVRP) to minimize the total travel cost, customers waiting times and carbon dioxide emissions simultaneously in distributing perishable products. In distributing perishable products, customers’ satisfaction is very important and is inversely proportional to the customers waiting times. The propose...

Trial production of a visible light-cured repair resin (powder/liquid type, TPL) as a denture base resin was carried out using cyclophosphazene monomer, and then the transverse and tensile strengths of the repaired specimens were examined. As a control, Triad Gel (TRI) was used. In the transverse strength test, TPL showed values of 507-470 kgf/cm2, which were about double those of TRI. As for t...

BACKGROUND Baker's asthma (BA) is the most prevalent occupational respiratory disease in developed countries. It is caused by inhalation of wheat dust in the working environment and affects 1%-10% of workers in the baking industry. Diagnosis of BA is based on bronchial challenge with wheat, a technique that carries a high risk for patients. The wheat lipid transfer protein Tri a 14 is a major a...

OBJECTIVE This study examined the effects of speed deception on performance, physiological and perceptual responses, and pacing during sprint-distance triathlon running. METHODS Eight competitive triathletes completed three simulated sprint-distance triathlons (0.75 km swim, 20 km bike, 5 km run) in a randomised order, with swimming and cycling sections replicating baseline triathlon performa...

OBJECTIVE The Temptation and Restraint Inventory (TRI) is commonly used to measure drinking restraint in relation to problem drinking behavior. However, as yet the TRI has not been validated in a clinical group with alcohol dependence. METHOD Male (n = 111) and female (n = 57) inpatients with DSM-IV diagnosed alcohol dependence completed the TRI and measures of problem drinking severity, incl...

Beginning in 1998, coal-fired and oil-fired power plants will be required to estimate and report their annual mass emissions to the national Toxic Release Inventory (TRI). The TRI is a publicly reported inventory of emissions to air, water and land of approximately 600 chemicals designated as “toxic” by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This paper reviews the current status of TRI...

In eukaryotes, pre-mRNA exons are interrupted by large noncoding introns. Alternative selection of exons and nucleotide-exact removal of introns are performed by the spliceosome, a highly dynamic macromolecular machine. U4/U6.U5 tri-snRNP is the largest and most conserved building block of the spliceosome. By 3D electron cryomicroscopy and labeling, the exon-aligning U5 snRNA loop I is localize...
