Conventionally, electrospray ionization ion trap mass spectrometry (ESI-ITMS) is not used for the analysis of metal ions because metal ions may be of too low mass to be trapped by the mass analyzer. Furthermore, metal ions can easily precipitate during ESI processes because of their poor volatilities. We present an approach for solving these two problems using milk as the sample to demonstrate ...

Experiment 2: We generate synthetic data from the above model. We run posterior inference over all parameters. For 25 random entries in the data matrix, we plot the histogram of posterior samples of the true underlying count (shown in red).

The current document describes the methodology adopted for finding the optimal thresholds for ‘cumulative sequence count' and 'overlap percentage' using ROC curves. For each of the four training data sets, i-rDNA program was executed using various pairs of thresholds for cumulative sequence count and overlap percentage. For each pair of thresholds, the True Positive Rate and the False Positive ...

In health pO2(a) is maintained within the range 10.613.3 kPa (80-100 mmHg) and hypoxemia (reduced blood oxygen) is diagnosed if pO2(a) is less than 10.6 kPa (80 mmHg). The purpose of this article is to highlight the spurious severe hypoxemia that occurs in patients with particularly high white-cell count or high platelet count. In these patients there is a marked discrepancy between measured (i...

was given by the ratio of the attenuation-corrected end-diastolic count rate from the gated study to the count rate per milliliter from a blood sample. Attenuation correction was made by dividing the end-diastolic count rate by e ud, where u = the linear attenuation coefficient of water and d = the distance from the skin marker to the center of the left ventricle in the anterior view divided by...

Alginate-metal complexes were prepared with divalent (Ca, Ba, Zn) and trivalent metals (Fe, Al) via congealing method in form of beads. Alginate mixed metals (Ca & Fe) complexes were also prepared by simultaneous and consecutive congealing. The studied beads were blank beads and racemic ketoprofen (KTP) loaded beads. Metal content was determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy and was 1.8% to...

   Oral pH sensitive drug delivery systems are of utmost importance as these systems deliver the drug at specific part of the gastrointestine (GI) as per the pH of GI, resulting in improved patient therapeutic efficacy and compliance. The pH range of fluids in various segments of the GI tract may provide environmental stimuli for drug release. The aim of this study was to design buoyant beads c...
