Hydrogen sulfide can exist in oxic waters in the form of a dissolved gas, dissociated ions, dissolved metal sulfide complexes, and particulate metal sulfides. The sum of the dissolved species is termed total dissolved sulfide (TDS). In addition to the hydrolysis of carbonyl sulfide, it has been speculated that phytoplankton may produce TDS. We present results from preliminary culture studies wh...

AIMS The Transdermal Delivery System (TDS) is a liquid formulation that can be applied to the skin via a metered pump spray to deliver drug to the systemic circulation. The aims of this study were to assess the ability of the TDS preparation to deliver testosterone systemically, and to characterize the pharmacokinetic profiles of the hormone in healthy males. METHODS An open label, comparativ...

Androgens, the levels of which decrease with ageing, play many physiological roles in various organs. Testosterone deficiency syndrome (TDS) has received widespread attention in the last several years. First-line treatment for TDS should be testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), which is reported to improve several TDS symptoms. Recently, a clinical practice manual for TDS was written and publ...

Two-point boundary value problems for a system of nonlinear first order ordinary differential equations are considered. It was shown in former papers of the authors that starting from the two-point exact difference scheme (EDS) one can derive a so-called truncated difference scheme (TDS) which possesses a prescribed order of accuracy O(|h|m) w.r.t. the maximal step size |h|. This m-TDS represen...

Difference schemes for two-point boundary value problems for systems of first-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations are considered. It was shown in former papers of the authors that starting from the two-point exact difference scheme (EDS) one can derive a so-called truncated difference scheme (TDS) which a priori possesses an arbitrary given order of accuracy (|h|m) with respect to t...

study of groundwater quality trend in any region is very important from the view of scheduling and sustainable water resources management. in the present study trend analysis conducted on groundwater quality based on information of 32 piezometeric stations located in the ardabil plain from 1993 to 2008 using the non-parametric spearman test. hydrogeochemical variables studied here are total ani...

We show that nucleic acid structures may be conveniently and inexpensively characterized by their UV thermal difference spectra. A thermal difference spectrum (TDS) is obtained for a nucleic acid by simply recording the ultraviolet absorbance spectra of the unfolded and folded states at temperatures above and below its melting temperature (T(m)). The difference between these two spectra is the ...
