Separated erythrocytes are washed repeatedly with iso-osmolar magnesium chloride solution, lysed by adding saponin, and sodium potassium measured in the diluted hemolysate by flame photometry. The coefficient of variation for the method was less than 4%. Reference intervals determined for a healthy population and hospitalized (elective surgery) patients without electrolyte disorders were 4.6-7.8 mmol/liter for erythrocyte sodium concentration and 94-110 mmol/liter for erythrocyte potassium concentration (2.5-97.5 percentiles).
Machinery maintenance significantly participates in its reliable, serviceable and safe operation. Well-timed maintenance can identify a fault condition of machinery leading to manufacturing a product of poor quality. Maintenance interval can be fixed or maintenance can be done when needed, meaning at the moment when some of operating parameters get worse. An example of determination of diagnostics interval set based on machinery vibrodiagnostic measurement is described in the paper. The shown steps are universal and can be applied to another technical diagnostics methods as for example tribodiagnostics, thermodiagnostics, non-destructive materiology etc.. This way economic savings can be reached better comparing to maintenance done in fixed planned dates.
The demand for high-strength grade fibers and consumption of viscose fibers shows increasing tendency and growing trends in use of this product. Regenerated cellulose-based fibers of various properties are produced in order to meet all needs using new production technologies developed especially in recent years. One of the key processes in fiber spinning is continuous drying before final winding on spools. The manufacturing methods used for viscose fibers allows production of various types, parameters and specifications of fibers. It is therefore increasingly necessary to implement and standardize a drying concept to stabilize subprocess in a continuous production manufacturing as much as possible within the desired parameters of the final product. These activities and methods embody concepts for production of the highest quality fibers suitable to both producers and users. Currently, the concept of drying viscose fibers in a continuous production process is a problem that affects its final shape and quality properties such as commercial weight, linear density and tensile properties of all products and lengths for staple fibers as well as shrinkage and twisting for yarns of fibers. Due to that, development of technology enabling maximum stabilization of the drying process to achieve long-term sustainable final fiber quality parameters was adopted as a strategic project, including incorporation of efficient solutions for the overall energy intensity of this process in order to reduce the manufacturing carbon footprint by 23.81%. The production of viscose fibers and the project also aims to achieve significant energy savings up to 24 509.9 GJ·year-1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
