This paper presents an eecient global synchronous band-width allocation (SBA) scheme for guaranteeing synchronous message deadlines in a timed token network (such as FDDI) where the timed token medium access control (MAC) protocol is used. A local SBA scheme allocates synchronous band-width to a node using only information available locally to that node while a global scheme uses network wide i...

The Group A Streptococcus Direct Test (GP-ST test; Gen-Probe, Inc., San Diego, Calif.) was compared with culture for the detection of Streptococcus pyogenes from throat swabs of 767 patients with pharyngitis. Swabs were tested by the GP-ST test after inoculating a 5% sheep blood agar (SBA) plate. SBA plates were incubated at 35 degrees C in room air for 72 h. SBA plates with no evidence of beta...

Soybean agglutinin (SBA) is a non-fiber carbohydrate-related protein and the main anti-nutritional factor that exists in soybean or soybean products. SBA possesses a specific binding affinity for N-glyphthalide-d-galactosamine or galactose and has a covalently linked oligosaccharide chain. SBA mediates negative effects on animal intestinal health by influencing the intestinal structure, barrier...

OBJECTIVES To calculate the Scapular Balance Angle (SBA) reference values in a healthy population between 18 and 85 years old, and to define abnormality criteria for this sample. MATERIALS AND METHODS A descriptive study was conducted on a total of 300 individuals (mean age: 44.83, range: 18-83; proportion male/female: 1.59), calculating the SBA through manual measurement with a goniometer. A...

Developing chiral solid catalysts for asymmetric catalysis is desirable the elimination of homogeneous flaws but remains an immense challenge. Herein, we report immo-bilization TsDPEN on SBA-15 with ionic liquid (IL) linkage via one-pot reac-tion imidazole-TsDPEN-N-Boc 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl bromide in mesopores. After coordination to Rh, could efficiently cata-lyze quinoline transfer hydrog...

Soybean agglutinin (SBA) is an anti-nutritional factor of soybean, affecting cell proliferation and inducing cytotoxicity. Integrins are transmembrane receptors, mediating a variety of cell biological processes. This research aims to study the effects of SBA on cell proliferation and cell cycle progression of the intestinal epithelial cell line from piglets (IPEC-J2), to identify the integrin s...

The growth of ordered nanorods of mesoporous SBA-15 inside a porous alumina membrane has been achieved for the first time by a simple sol-gel method. The obtained SBA-15 nanorods themselves have ordered hexagonal mesochannels with a size of about 6 nm and have been arranged to form hexagonal arrays by the limitation of pores of the alumina membrane. The synthesized alumina membrane with mesopor...

Mesoporous silica SBA-15 was synthesized using P123 as surfactant and functionalized with (3-chloropropyl) triethoxysilane. For the first time, the composite of THPP-SBA-15 was prepared using incorporation of tetrakis(4-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin in functionalized SBA-15. The materials were characterized by BET, SEM, XRD, FT-IR, DRS, and UV–Vis spectroscopy techniques. The synthesized composite wa...

BACKGROUND The fifth Millennium Development Goal target for 90% of births in low and middle income countries to have a skilled birth attendant (SBA) by 2015 will not be met. In response to this, policy has focused on increasing SBA access. However, reducing maternal mortality also requires policies to prevent deaths among women giving birth unattended. We aimed to generate estimates of the abso...

Novel organic-inorganic mesoporous luminescent hybrid material N, N'-bis(salicylidene)-thiocarbohydrazide (BSTC-SBA-15) has been obtained by co-condensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate and the organosilane in the presence of Pluronic P123 surfactant as a template. N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-thiocarbohydrazide (BSTC) grafted to the coupling agent 3-(triethoxysilyl)-propyl isocyanate (TESPIC) was use...
