Most crash prediction models are statistically-based prediction methods which require significant efforts in crash data collection and may not be applied in particular traffic environments due to the limitation of data sources. Traffic conflict studies have been proposed to mitigate this issue using short time survey to count traffic conflicts which are assumed as a surrogate measure of safety. Un
The main objectives were to study relationships between the design of group living (GL) units and psychiatric symptoms in demented patients before, 6 months after, and 1 year after admission to GL units. The study population comprised 105 demented elderly (83 ± 6 years), 37% with dementia of Alzheimer's type and 58% with vascular dementia. The patients were relocated by the municipal care planning
The scFv antibody towards the Burkholderia pseudomallei exotoxin was previously constructed by phage display and exhibited good specificity towards the exotoxin. We report here the optimization of the scFv expression in an E. coli expression system. Four different E. coli strains (ER2537, TG1, HB2151, and XL1-Blue) were examined for optimal expression of the scFv protein. Two types of carbon sourc
Mass transfer limitations were studied in enzyme preparations of α- chymotrypsin made by deposition on different porous support materials such as controlled pore glasses, Celite, and polyamides of different particle sizes. It is the onset of mass transfer limitations that determines the position of the activity optimum with respect to enzyme loading on each support. The evidence of various experim
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
