In this study, bio-oil from fast pyrolysis of renewable biomass was added by the mass of phenol to synthesize bio-oil phenol formaldehyde (BPF) resins, which were used to fabricate glass fiber (GF) reinforced BPF resin (GF/BPF) composites. The properties of the BPF resin and the GF/BPF composites prepared were tested. The functional groups and thermal property of BPF resin were thoroughly inves...

Brain atrophy is an important feature of many neurodegenerative disorders. It can be described in terms of change in the brain parenchymal fraction (BPF). In order to interpret the BPF in disease, knowledge on the BPF in healthy individuals is required. The aim of this study was to establish a normal range of values for the BPF of healthy individuals via a systematic review of the literature. T...

The goal of this research is to improve the linearity of integrated oscillator based on switched-capacitor band-pass filter with a low Q-factor in order to achieve a feasible integration. With the minimum addition control digital control circuit, high linearity can be achieved by suppressing 3rd harmonic which requires high Q of filter in traditional way. Description. The aim of this research i...

PURPOSE Peripheral bronchopleural fistulas (BPF) are communications between a peripheral bronchus or the lung parenchyma and the pleural space. Although reported cases with peripheral BPF might have typical symptoms, we postulate that there may be BPF patients without typical symptoms who are diagnosed on computed tomography (CT) for the first time. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched retrospec...

The BSD/OS IPFW packet filtering system is a well engineered, flexible kernel framework for filtering (accepting, rejecting, logging, or modifying) IP packets. IPFW uses the well understood, widely available Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) system as the basis of its packet matching abilities, and extends BPF in several straightforward areas. Since the first implementation of IPFW, the system has b...

Nine by-product feedstuffs (BPF) obtained from three different sources were evaluated for nutrient composition, estimated nonstructural carbohydrate (NSC) and TDN content, and total extent and rate of digestion of DM and NDF. The nine BPF evaluated included: beet pulp (BP), rice bran (RB), almond hulls (AI-I), citrus pulp (CT), bakery waste (BW), wheat mill run (WMR), brewers’ grains (BG), dist...

Ultra-wide band (UWB) is a very attractive technology for innovative in-car wireless communications requiring high data rates. A designated antenna, which presents a reflection coefficient (S11) matched band comparable to the Band Pass Filters (BPF) normally required at the transducers, plays a positive contribution in this in-car application and was validated for the scenario. The inherited BP...

rious consequences. In our study, the presence of BPF was not associated with the in-hospital mortality rate (mortality in patients with BPF, 46%; mortality in patients without BPF, 50%). In our experience, BPF rarely has important effects on gas exchange, and, in fact, a substantial quantity of ventilation has been reported3,4 to occur via the chest tube in patients with BPF. While BPF has lim...
