We determined methemoglobin in blood by zero-crossing-point first-derivative spectrophotometry. After lysis of erythrocytes, hemoglobin was converted into oxyhemoglobin and the first derivative spectrum was recorded between 405 and 425 nm. At the exact point where the first-derivative spectrum of oxyhemoglobin was zero ("zero-crossing point"), the first-derivative value of oxyhemoglobin and met...

We present two optimization techniques based on cubic curve fitting; one based on function values and derivatives a t two previous points, the other based on derivatives a t three previous points. The latter approach is viewed from a derivative space perspective, obviating the need to compute the vertical translation of the cubic, thus simplifying the fitting problem. We dieinonstrate the effec...

The formulation of hybrid crossing angle schemes has been a recent development of the TESLA collision geometry debate. Here we report on two such schemes, characterised by either a small vertical or horizontal beam crossing angle.

Objective: Four different methods were used for stability indicating determination of aripiprazole in presence of its oxidation product in pure and its dosage form. Methods: The described methods are namely, second derivative spectrophotometry, first-derivative of ratio spectra; bivariate and thin layer chromatography. Results: The derivative spectrophotometric method was based on measuring the...

A geometric spanning tree of a point set S is a tree whose vertex set is S and whose edge set is a set of non-crossing straight line segments with endpoints in S. Given a set of red points and a set of blue points in the plane, the red/blue spanning tree problem is to find a geometric spanning tree for red points and a geometric spanning tree for blue points such that the number of crossing poi...

‎The present paper is devoted to the existence and uniqueness result of the fractional evolution equation $D^{q}_c u(t)=g(t,u(t))=Au(t)+f(t)$‎ ‎for the real $qin (0,1)$ with the initial value $u(0)=u_{0}intilde{R}$‎, ‎where $tilde{R}$ is the set of all generalized real numbers and $A$ is an operator defined from $mathcal G$ into itself‎. Here the Caputo fractional derivative $D^{q}_c$ is used i...

BACKGROUND A validated scale is needed for objective and reproducible comparisons of chin appearance before and after chin augmentation in practice and clinical studies. OBJECTIVE To describe the development and validation of the 5-point photonumeric Allergan Chin Retrusion Scale. METHODS The Allergan Chin Retrusion Scale was developed to include an assessment guide, verbal descriptors, mor...
