ABSTRACT Companies applying mass customization paradigm regard the design process as a configuration task where the solution is achieved through the extraction of a new instance from a modular product structure. In this context product configuration management tools are evermore important....

OBJECTIVE To assess the sensitivity, specificity, and feasibility of a new chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) in the diagnosis of syphilis. METHODS At first, a retrospective study was conducted, using 135 documented cases of syphilis and 30 potentially interfering samples and 80 normal sera. A prospective study was also performed by testing 2, 071 unselected samples for routine screening fo...

Reducing the content of nitrites and nitrates in food, including meat products is a current issue. More more studies are being done to reduce these synthetic food additives by using vegetative additives. This paper examines issue reducing nitrite products. The role basil, thyme tarragon on presented. study showed possibility Lacta sausages, basil extract (BE 0,1%) 0.4-0.94%, 0.2%) 0.80-1.88%. 0...

Acral melanoma is commonly diagnosed in people of color and has worse prognosis than cutaneous melanoma, even when controlling for tumor stage. Here, we seek to assess differences mutational profiles acral melanomas, which could potentially impact treatment outcomes. Mutational 1273 patients (118 1155 cutaneous) from the American Association Cancer Research Project Genomics Evidence Neoplasia I...

Irradiation of amorphous a-Se Ag I and a-Se films by linearly polarized He–Neand Arq ion-laser light was shown 70 15 15 to produce polycrystalline films with linear dichroism, the sign of which is determined by the polarization of the light. Photocrystallization of the films was confirmed by direct structural investigations. Thus, a new phenomenon, the effect of light polarization on the photoc...
