W a) " NA sizing is one of the most widely used analytical methods in molecular _6 42 biology and biochemistry, and it is a core method for genomic analysis. Many research, • toE health care, and forensic applications rely on DNA sizing. Given the volume of DNA C: sizing done and the associated cost, an increasing need exists for extremely rapid, high. throughput, and inexpensive techniques. Es...

High-yield pulp (HYP) such as bleached chemi-thermo-mechanical pulp (BCTMP) from aspen wood, is now being used in the production of highquality fine papers, and this is particularly true in China. In this study, the effect of using cationic polymers such as poly-aluminum chloride (PAC), polyethylenimine (PEI), cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM), and poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) ...

BACKGROUND Ring sizing for mitral valve annuloplasty is conventionally done intraoperatively using specific 'sizer' instruments, which are placed onto the valve tissue. This approach is barely reproducible since different sizing strategies have been established among surgeons. The goal of this study is to virtually apply different sizing methods on the basis of pre-repair echocardiography to fi...

Two plant proteins, soyprotein and wheat gluten, and chicken feathers used to size cotton substrates provided sizing performance similar to starch and were also easily degraded in activated sludge. Sizing is an essential process to impart protection to warp yarns and increase weaving efficiency. Cotton yarns have traditionally been sized with starch, modified starch derivatives, CMC, poly vinyl...

With the shift to online learning, many instructors have been forced into course delivery that involves educational lecture videos. There are a number of different elements impact quality videos and overall student experience (e.g. instructor eye gaze, audio levels, screen sizing). More specifically, research has demonstrated segmented benefits over traditional didactic ones. The present experi...

We describe a fast (linear time) procedure to optimally size transistors in a chain of multi-input gates/stages. The fast sizing is used in a simultaneous sizing and restructuring optimization procedure, to accurately predict relative optimal performance of alternative circuit structures for a given total area. The idea extends the concept of optimally sizing a buffer chain[5], and uses taperin...

A precise, accurate and well documented method for the sizing and counting of microbubbles is essential for all aspects of quantitative microbubble-enhanced ultrasound imaging. The efficacy of (a) electro-impedance volumetric zone sensing (ES) also called a Coulter counter/multisizer; (b) optical microscopy (OM); and (c) laser diffraction (LD), for the sizing and counting of microbubbles was as...
