recently, due to the very good market in ethane as a feedstock for petrochemical complexes, thereare some plans to make a deep ethane recovery from the gases produced in iran southern fields. inthis work, the feasibility of different technologies for deep ethane recovery from a specified feed gasproduced in one of the iran southern fields is reviewed. three different processes are selected ands...

In the last decade, many variants of classical linear discriminant analysis (LDA) have been developed to tackle the under-sampled problem in face recognition. However, choosing the variants is not easy since these methods involve eigenvalue decomposition that makes cross-validation computationally expensive. In this paper, we propose to solve this problem by unifying these LDA variants in one f...

We already reported that genetically engineered resveratrol-enriched rice (RR) showed to down-regulate skin melanogenesis. To be developed to increase the bioactivity of RR using calli from plants, RR was adopted for mass production using plant tissue culture technologies. In addition, high-pressure homogenization (HPH) was used to increase the biocompatibility and penetration of the calli from...

Critical laboratory results require timely and accurate transmission to the appropriate caregiver to provide intervention to prevent an adverse outcome. We report the use of text messages to notify critical laboratory results in a large teaching hospital to manage the documentation and audit requirements of critical result reporting by regulatory agencies. The text messaging system (critical re...

In this paper, we introduce new methods of equivalence checking and simulation based on Computing Range Reduction (CRR). Given a combinational circuit N , the CRR problem is to compute the set of outputs that disappear from the range of N if a set of inputs of N is excluded from consideration. Solving equivalence checking by CRR facilitates generation of proofs of equivalence that mimic the “cu...

A novel vaccine (LL-CRR) made from live, nonpathogenic Lactococcus lactis that expresses the conserved C-repeat region (CRR) of M protein from Streptococcus pyogenes serotype 6 was tested in mice. Nasally vaccinated mice produced CRR-specific salivary immunoglobulin A (IgA) and serum IgG. Subcutaneously vaccinated mice produced CRR-specific serum IgG but not salivary IgA. A combined regimen pro...

Insulin administration during insulin-modified intravenous glucose tolerance test (IM-IVGTT) can induce transient hypoglycemia in healthy insulin-sensitive subjects. This triggers counterregulatory reflex (CRR) responses, which influence the kinetics of glucose and nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA), and undermines the accuracy of mathematical modeling methods that do not explicitly account for C...

The current study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of palonosetron hydrochloride injection for preventing chemotherapy-induced moderate and severe nausea and vomiting. A multi-centered, randomly stratified, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel-group and positive-controlled trial was performed. A total of 240 patients who underwent chemotherapy treatment which induced moderate or severe...

Standard fractionated radiotherapy for the treatment of cancer consists of daily irradiation of 2-Gy X-rays, 5 days a week for 5-8 weeks. To understand the characteristics of radioresistant cancer cells and to develop more effective radiotherapy, we established a series of novel, clinically relevant radioresistant (CRR) cells that continue to proliferate with 2-Gy X-ray exposure every 24 h for ...

The microstructure evolution and tempering transformation kinetics of the M50 steel subjected to cold ring rolling (CRR) have been investigated. results indicate that brass R{110}<110> texture is weakened with enhancement <111>//ND during CRR. Due increased low angle boundaries by CRR, Ac1 temperature decreases while carbon content volume fraction RA increase. During tempering, activation energ...
