Generation of high voltages is often necessary in Industrial, Medical, civilian and defense applications. One the popular methods generation voltage DC using a Cockcroft multiplier generator. Knowledge on characterization circuit helps designer to study effect various input parameters output, saves lot time money. In this paper voltages, advantages disadvantages each method are discussed. Desig...

An adequate computer model of the process rolling flange details with inclined rolls has been built in software package DEFORM-3D. The analysis stress-strain state a detail was performed. rheological properties alloy L63 (62-65% Cu, 34.5-38% Zn) were experimentally studied. Value limits Cockcroft-Latham fracture criterion for are determined.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The Initiating Dialysis Early and Late study showed that planned early or late initiation of dialysis, based on the Cockcroft and Gault estimation of GFR, was associated with identical clinical outcomes. This study examined the association of all-cause mortality with estimated GFR at dialysis commencement, which was determined using multiple formulas. DESIGN, SETTING...

BACKGROUND Obesity and diabetes mellitus (DM) are established risk factors for the development of chronic kidney disease. Visceral adiposity (VAT) and subcutaneous adiposity (SAT) may be associated with the differential metabolic risk. Our study was performed to determine whether VAT or SAT was associated with the decrease of renal function in people with type 2 DM. METHODS Nine hundred and t...

Resynthesis of phosphatidylinositol in permeabilized neutrophils following phospholipase Cβ activation : transport of the intermediate, phosphatidic acid, from the plasma membrane to the endoplasmic reticulum for phosphatidylinositol resynthesis is not dependent on soluble lipid carriers or vesicular transport Jacqueline WHATMORE*, Claudia WIEDEMANN*, Pennti SOMERHARJU†, Philip SWIGART* and Sha...

OBJECTIVES Cystatin C is emerging as an endogenous marker of glomerular filtration rate. This study sought to assess the usefulness of serum cystatin C as a marker of glomerular filtration rate in comparison with serum creatinine and serum creatinine-based glomerular filtration rate estimations in voluntary kidney donors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Serum cystatin C and serum creatinine were estima...

BACKGROUND Renal function is often estimated using one of several glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimating equations. However, there is no consensus which estimating equation performs best in patients with advanced renal failure. METHODS We compared the performance of five different estimated GFR (eGFR) equations [Cockcroft-Gault, Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD), Chronic Kidne...
