Outdoor artificial streams were treated continuously with pentachlorophenol (PCP) for 88 days during the summer of 1983. The contributions of different stream compartments (microbial habitats) to microbial degradation of PCP were determined in a stream treated with 144 micrograms of PCP per liter. The 488-m long stream was composed of mud-bottomed pools alternating with gravel riffles. PCP loss...

Postmortem examination of a patient with pure autonomic failure showed loss of intermediolateral column cells and of sympathetic ganglionic neurons; there were Lewy bodies in sympathetic neurons. No neuronal loss or Lewy bodies were seen in pigmented brainstem nuclei. This case indicates that pure autonomic failure can occur in the absence of presymptomatic Parkinson's disease. Furthermore, it ...

Abstract A semi-automated purification module for the cyclic separation of 99m Tc was designed production [ Tc]TcO 4 – from ? irradiated 100 Mo target. The process carried out by using a 3-column system and final product, , obtained in total volume 7 mL. To confirm proper achieved Tc, radio-labeling procedure DTPA chelator performed. radiochemical purity higher than 95%, which meets strict radi...

Abstract: A finite element model is verified accurate enough to simulate the static test of one reinforced-concrete frame with specially shaped columns subjected to the loss of a ground corner column. As the frame sustained loads primarily depending on the beam resisting mechanism in the test, four related parameters, namely the height of beam section, rebar ratio of beam, rebar ratio of slab a...

The selection of column packing during the development of high-performance liquid chromatography method is a crucial step to achieve sufficient chromatographic resolution of analyzed species in complex mixtures. Various stationary phases are tested in this paper for the analysis of complex mixture of triacylglycerols (TGs) in blackcurrant oil using non-aqueous reversed-phase (NARP) system with ...

In this paper, a chemometrical approach is applied for the development of a reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography method for the simultaneous determination of mycophenolate mofetil and its degradation product mycophenolic acid in dosage form. The fractional factorial design is used in screening experiments for selecting the variables that significantly influence the chromatograp...

We consider two integer linear programming models for the one-dimensional cutting stock problem that include various difficulties appearing in practical real problems. Our primary goals are the minimization of the trim loss or the minimization of the number of master rolls needed to satisfy the orders. In particular, we study an approach based on the classical column-generation procedure by Gil...

Disproportionate collapse analysis aims to assure that frames, a common structural system of buildings, can survive unforeseen local events and a central modeling tool of such abnormal deterioration is the concept of column loss. This paper formulates an appropriate computational model on the basis of mathematical optimization, using the collapse load analysis problem of steel frames with pre-e...

To facilitate the handling of small invertebrate embryos during whole-mount in situ hybridization, a method of solution exchange using laboratory mini-columns was developed. This protocol speeds time-consuming aspiration of buffers, and avoids accidental loss of the embryos, by gently pushing solutions through the column using air pressure from a syringe after each incubation. The next buffer i...
