Abstract Water meters of different types and sizes are used to monitor bill the water supply. Although is drinking quality, its chemo-physical properties often adversely affect measuring behaviour a meter after while. There thus risk that they no longer meet legal requirements may be used. In this paper test regime with focus on pH, total hardness particle load presented which allows tested clo...

Local inflammation is a prominent characteristic of snakebite wound, and snake-venom phospholipase A2s (PLA2s) are some of the main component that contribute to accumulation of inflammatory cells. However, the action of an R49 PLA2s, promutoxin from Protobothrops mucrosquamatus venom, on mast-cell accumulation has not been previously examined. Using a mouse peritoneal model, we found that promu...

MATline is a tool that can be used to predict which industrial processes can be expected to involve the use of a substance that is considered carcinogenic as documented in the literature. The database includes agents carrying risk phrases R45, R49 and R40 according to the method of classification adopted by the EU and/or agents in categories 1, 2A and 2B as classified by the International Agenc...

background: estradiol and progesterone as well as hippocampal gabaa receptors are believed to play a role in the modulation of pain. the aim of present study was to investigate the effect of intrahippocampal injections of gabaa receptor agonist (muscimol) and gabaa receptor antagonist (picrotoxin) on pain sensitivity during estrous cycle. methods: pain sensitivity was evaluated in rats by forma...

Flight testing of aircraft in which new design concepts, problems, and deficiencies are examined, involves the collection of a large quantity of data or test parameters allocated onto blocks within a telemetry frame or Data Cycle Map (DCM). Individual parameters are sampled at different rates and may vary in both their word length and the number of words used to represent them. During a flight ...
