The performance of a water activity-controlling system in organic solvents using saturated salt solutions circulating in silicone tubing submerged in the solvent was studied. The mass transfer could be regarded as a flux through a cylindrical geometry. Integration over the barrier gave diffusion coefficients of water (D(aw)) which were similar for the different tubing sizes used. The driving force
This 1 sonata uses simple generative principles, to develop networks of relatively high complexity in which intuition actively participates to produce an output with a certain degree of activity and acoustic nonlinearity.Albert-László Barabási, from the introduction to his book titled Linked: the new science of networks, “Just as diverse humans share skeletons that are almost indistinguishable,
Lipase-catalyzed transesterification of high-oleic-acid rapeseed oil with stearic acid or methyl stearate was investigated. High yields of 1,3-distearoyl-2-monooleyl glycerol (36%) and 1(3)-2-dioleyl-1(3)-monostearoyl glycerol (27%) with small incorporation of stearic acid in the 2-position were obtained by using lipase from Rhizopus arrhizus immobilized on polypropylene powder and ethyl stearate
Mixing solutions of polymers dissolved in chloroform resulted in turbid solutions that parted into two separate phases upon standing. Each phase consisted primarily of one of the two polymers and contained only small amounts of the other. An enzyme (α‐chymotrypsin) added to the two‐phase system partitioned preferentially to one of the phases; this was observed with native enzyme and with enzyme as

OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy of arthroscopic subacromial decompression (ASD) by comparing it with diagnostic arthroscopy, a placebo surgical intervention, and with a non-operative alternative, exercise therapy, in a more pragmatic setting. DESIGN: Multicentre, three group, randomised, double blind, sham controlled trial. SETTING: Orthopaedic departments at three public hospitals in Finland. P
In this work, an automated downstream process for the purification and formulation of a recombinant protein was integrated at lab scale in a single chromatography unit. The purification chain consists of three bind-and-elute chromatography columns, a flow-through membrane chromatography step, and a final ultrafiltration-diafiltration (UFDF) step to concentrate and formulate the sample. An integrat
In this communication, we reconcile the kinematic method illustrated by some authors (Yang et al. in Microfluid Nanofluid 22:44–56, 2018; Vitali et al. in RSC Adv 8:38955, 2018) in studying the impact of system and suspension parameters on acoustophoretic separations with the statistical method formerly proposed by Garofalo (Microfluid Nanofluid 18(3):367–382, 2014a; ASME 2014 3rd global congress
Cardiac resynchronization therapy may stabilize patients with severe heart failure awaiting heart transplant. Transvenous interventional implantation aided by intracardiac echocardiography is feasible in patients with adult congenital heart disease.
The first synchrotron radiation flow linear dichroism spectra are reported. High-quality spectral data can be collected from 450 nm down to 180 nm in contrast to the practical cutoff of approximately 200 nm on benchtop instruments. State-of-the-art microvolume capillary Couette flow linear dichroism was successfully ported to a synchrotron radiation source. The sample volume required is < 50 micro
Appropriate evaluation and experimental design are fundamental for empirical sciences, particularly in data-driven fields. Due to the successes in computational modeling of languages, for instance, research outcomes are having an increasingly immediate impact on end users. As the gap in adoption by end users decreases, the need increases to ensure that tools and models developed by the research co
Migratory birds must make complex decisions to use wind to their advantage during flight and increasing flight performance is particularly important while crossing ecological barriers. Age-related differences in how birds deal with wind have suggested experience improves necessary skills in gaining positive wind support. However, differences in wind support between age groups over ecological barri
Different forms of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I heavy chains are known to be expressed on the cell surface, including molecules which are functionally 'empty'. Direct peptide binding to cells is obvious during sensitization of target cells in vitro for cytotoxic T lymphocyte killing and 'empty' MHC-I molecules are comparatively abundant on TAP- 1 2 peptide transporter mutant cell
Purpose: To explore stakeholders’ perceptions of the coordination of health and rehabilitation services for persons with disabilities in Sierra Leone. Materials and methods: A qualitative study including seven focus group discussions with health, rehabilitation, and disability organisations stakeholders in Sierra Leone. Content analysis was used for data analysis. Results: One theme emerged; poor
In the coming renewables-based energy transition, global electricity consumption is expected to double by 2050, entailing widespread end-use electrification, with significant impacts on energy efficiency. We develop a long-run, worldwide societal exergy analysis focused on electricity. Our 1900–2017 electricity world database contains the energy carriers used in electricity production, final end-u
