The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act went into effect on 1 January 2006. Part of this act was the creation of Medicare Part D, a federal program to subsidize the costs of prescription drugs for Medicare beneficiaries. In 2006, the plan required beneficiaries whose total annual drug costs exceeded $2250 to pay 100% of prescription costs until they spent $5100 on med...

the mass transfer performance of a pulsed disc and doughnut column for extraction of samarium and gadolinium from aqueous nitrate solution with d2ehpa was investigated. the effects of operating parameters such as pulsation intensity, continuous and dispersed phase velocities on column performance were investigated. the axial dispersion model was used to obtain the overall mass transfer coeffici...

INTRODUCTION Several neurodegenerative diseases are classified as proteopathies as they are associated with the aggregation of misfolded proteins. Synucleinopathies are a group of neurodegenerative disorders associated with abnormal deposition of synucleins. α-Synucleinopathies include Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and multiple system atrophy. Recently accumulation of another ...

We report on the near- and far-field investigation of the slow Bloch modes associated with the Γ point of the Brillouin zone, for a honeycomb lattice photonic crystal, using near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) and infra-red CCD camera. The array of doughnut-shaped monopolar mode (mode M) inside each unit cell, predicted previously by numerical simulation, is experimentally observed in...

The ellipsoid body, a doughnut-shaped part of the fly brain, is essential for visual working memory. Gaseous second messengers establish a functional ellipsoid body and act as a short-term aid in orientation behavior.

Evaporation of a liquid from a meniscus has been observed to generate vortical motion and instabilities both on the interface and in the bulk liquid. The aim of this work is to develop and demonstrate an automated scanning particle image velocimetry (PIV) system to visualize and quantify the time-resolved threedimensional evaporation-driven velocity field inside the bulk liquid. The evaporating...

This research aims to determine the percentage of addition red tilapia bone flour as a source calcium in most preferred doughnut. The was conducted on January until February 2022 at Fishery Product Processing Laboratory, Faculty Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Universitas Padjadjaran Test Services Agricultural Industrial Technology, Padjadjaran. method used experimental method, that made doughnu...
