This study validated the RisingSun RS-651 blood pressure (BP) monitor based on auscultation in adults according to the American National Standards Institute/Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation/International Organization for Standardization (ANSI/AAMI/ISO) 81060-2:2013 standard. The RS-651 device was evaluated in a study of 97 participants. The same arm simultaneous method...

The complex exponential signal is given by x(t) = C e, (1) where C and a are, in general, complex numbers. If these are real numbers, then x(t) is called a real exponential and depending on the sign of a it can become either a growing exponential (a > 0) or a decaying exponential (a < 0). If a = 0 then x(t) is the constant C. An equally important class of complex exponential signals is obtained...

Rhizobium BICC 651, a fast-growing strain isolated from root nodule of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), produced a catechol siderophore to acquire iron under iron poor condition. A Tn5-induced mutant (B153) of the strain, BICC 651 impaired in siderophore biosynthesis was isolated and characterized. The mutant failed to grow on medium supplemented with iron chelator and grew less efficiently in de...

Chlamydomonas reinhardtii adapts to the stress of CO(2)-limiting conditions through the induction of a set of genes including CAH1, which encodes a periplasmic carbonic anhydrase. CAH1 is up-regulated under low-CO(2) conditions (air containing 0.04% [v/v] CO(2)) in the presence of light, whereas it is down-regulated under high-CO(2) conditions (5% [v/v] CO(2)) or in the dark. In an effort to id...
