IRRDR ≥6 and age <60 years were significantly associated with SVR. IL28B minor and platelets <15 × 10(4)/mm(3) were significantly associated with NVR. Certain combinations of these factors improved SVR and NVR predictability and could, therefore, be used to design therapeutic strategies.
1α-Helix hydrophobic polypeptide bearing spermine, which has similar amino acid sequences to the hydrophobic core in the native photosynthetic light-harvesting (LH) 1-α polypeptide from Rhodospirillum (Rsp.) rubrum, was synthesized. Interestingly, an enhanced photoelectric current was observed when BChl a complexes together with the LH1-α model polypeptide were assembled onto an ITO electrode.
Synopsis A new method for measuring the thickness of molten powder on the molten steel in the continuous casting (C.C.) mold was studied. The authors found that the molten powder thickness could be determined by using an eddy current sensor with two frequencies. This method is based on the difference in electric resistivity between the molten powder and the molten steel. The resistivity of the molten powder, though varying slightly with viscosity, is almost stable above the temperature of 1 300 °C. As a result of the experiment, the measurement accuracy was found to be within ± 1 N 2 mm. The authors are now studying the relation between the molten powder behavior and the CC. operational conditions by using this method.
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.
