To study the frequency of post-transfusion non-A, non-B (NANB) hepatitis in Finland, we have followed prospectively 65 patients after open-heart surgery. The total number of transfused blood units was 652. Blood samples were obtained from the patients during the first 6 months after the operation and were studied for transaminase levels. The NANB diagnosis was based on exclusion of viral hepati...

Antibiotic resistance in Helicobacter pylori varies according to geographical region. We studied the primary resistance rates among 652 H. pylori isolated from Korea in relation to collection date, disease presentation, age and gender. Resistance rates were 40.6% (metronidazole), 5.9% (clarithromycin), 5.3% (tetracycline), 0% (amoxycillin), 1.5% (furazolidone) and 1.5% (nitrofurantoin). Resista...

Vortex thinning is one of the main mechanisms two-dimensional turbulence. By direct numerical simulation to Navier–Stokes equations with small-scale forcing and large-scale damping, Xiao et al (2009 J. Fluid Mech. 619 1–44) found an evidence that inverse energy cascade may proceed vortex mechanism. On other hand, Alexakis Doering (2006 Phys. Lett. A 359 652–657) calculated upper bound bulk aver...

This paper shows how to reduce the temperature dependence of a temporary optical coupler that enables us output signal light from bent fiber by aligning probe in path leaked and input fiber. We experimentally demonstrate coupling efficiency between fibers is significantly improved reducing misalignment these created changes. First, we confirm comparing calculation results measured values conven...
