Twenty-two patients with primary myeurinary hemosiderin. The defects of lofibrosis and myeloid metaplasia the red cell membrane, as evidenced (MMM) and ten patients with MMM by acid and sucrose lysis tests, were secondary to carcinoma were studied limited to those with primary MMM and for the relationship of MMM to “PNHoccurred in 54#{176}/o of the cases. Another like defect.” Laboratory measur...

The splenic architecture is essential for the quick resolution of a primary infection with Plasmodium. A critical component of this architecture is the marginal zone (MZ), an area of the spleen that separates the reticuloendothelial red pulp of the spleen from the lymphoid white pulp compartment. There are two unique macrophage populations found in the MZ: MZ macrophages (MZM) found on the oute...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Multimodal monitoring (MMM) is routinely applied in neurointensive care. Unfortunately, there is no robust evidence on which MMM-derived physiologic variables are the most clinically relevant, how and when they should be monitored, and whether MMM impacts outcome. The complexity is even higher because once the data are continuously collected, interpretation and integration of ...

The fatigue fracture of a drillstring could cause drilling disturbances and some negative impacts (e.g., economic loss) will be brought when restoring the drillstring to functionality. In order to evaluate the effects of the fatigue damage of the drillstring during drilling, a new apparatus, which could monitor the load level in real-time, was built to perform the four-point bending fatigue tes...

The optimization of matrix-matrix multiplication (MMM) performance has been well studied on general-purpose desktop and server processors. Classic solutions exploit common microarchitectural features including superscalar execution and the cache and TLB hierarchy to achieve near-peak performance. Typical digital signal processors (DSPs) do not have these features, and instead use in-order execu...

BACKGROUND Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides (Mmm) is the causative agent of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP), a respiratory disease of cattle, whereas the closely related Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. capri (Mmc) is a goat pathogen. Cyto-adherence is a crucial step in host colonization by mycoplasmas and subsequent pathogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the interactions ...

Among the various existing models for the warehousing management, the simultaneous use of private and public warehouses is as the most well-known one. The purpose of this article is to develop a queuing theory-based model for determining the optimal capacity of private warehouse in order to minimize the total corresponding costs. In the proposed model, the available space and budget to create a...

The present work reports on the gas transport behavior of mixed matrix membranes (MMM) which were prepared from multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and dispersed within polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIM-1) matrix. The MWCNTs were chemically functionalized with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) for a better dispersion in the polymer matrix. MMM-incorporating functionalized MWCNTs (f-MWCNTs) ...

Seventeen monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) raised against Mycoplasma mycoides ssp. mycoides small colony type (Mmm SC), the causative agent of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP), were partially characterised. Six MAbs recognising a main protein of 70 kDa and showing reciprocal competition were found to be specific for Mmm SC, while the other MAbs showed different patterns of reactivity with M...

Polyurethane (PU)-ZnO mixed matrix membranes (MMM) were fabricated and characterized for gas separation. A thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), a scanning electron microscope (SEM) test and an atomic-force microscopy (AFM) revealed that the physical properties and thermal stability of the membranes were improved through filler loading. Hydrogen Bonding Index, obtained from the Fourier transform in...
