The Advanced Along-Track Scanning Radiometer (AATSR), launched on ENVISAT in March 2002, is the third in a series of instrument designed to make precise and accurate global Sea Surface Temperature (SST) estimations. At the time of the ENVISAT Symposium 2007, geophysical validation indicates that the AATSR 1 km and 10' spatially averaged D3 SSTs are generally in specification, in that AATSR 1 km...

The GMP compliant BiacoreTM T200 system is an established and stateof-the-art instrument for real-time and label-free biomolecular interaction analysis and binding assays. The system is used to deliver high-quality kinetic, binding affinity, concentration, specificity, selectivity, and thermodynamic interaction data, all with high sensitivity. Based on Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) technology...

Conventional physics cannot explain bioeffects caused by ELF fields [1]. A (double) resonance interaction of ELF radiation with the highly sub-thermal coherent motion of spiral waves in living matter (LM) is suggested. The (geo)magnetic cyclotron resonance (CR) absorption by the constituent ions can drastically change their non-thermal degrees of freedom in the spiral state, destroying their pa...

Point-of-care testing (POCT), or bedside testing is defined as medical testing at or near the site of patient care. In order to approach POCT, a miniaturization system consists of microfluidics chip, bio-recognition probes and electrically sensing element for providing enough information on clinical diagnosis. As the result, multidisciplinary researches and integrations are crucial for developi...

in this study, a bacterial species which could remove lead from wastewater was isolated from lead contaminated soil prepared in the laboratory. based on the biochemical and morphological characterization the bacteria were identified as brevundimonas vesicularis. the biosorption potentiel of powdered dry biomass of b. vesicularis was investigated by batch adsorption experiments. it was found tha...

BUJO | VOL 2 | ISSUE 1 | SEPTEMBER 2014 Abstract This article aims to introduce the uses of slit lamp bio-microscopy to medical students and junior doctors, providing a brief overview of techniques. It outlines the skills necessary to set up an examination for each patient. The paper summarises a few vital techniques enabling exploration of each part of the eye from outermost lids and tear film...

The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The population comprises all the married couples in this area. A sample size of six hundred married people was selected for this s...

Human serum-based frozen reference materials have been used by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)-National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute Lipid Standardization Program to improve the precision and accuracy of blood cholesterol measurements. Occasionally, laboratories in the program have had problems obtaining results for patients' fresh serum samples equivalent to those obtai...
