Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the impact of continuous and pulsed energy deliveries on microwave ablation growth and shape in unperfused and perfused liver models. Methods: A total of 15 kJ at 2.45 GHz was applied to ex vivo bovine liver using one of five delivery methods ( n = 50 total, 10 per group): 25 W continuous for 10 min (25 W average), 50 W continuous for 5 min (50 W average), 100 W continuous for 2.5 min (100 W average), 100 W pulsed for 10 min (25 W average), and 100 W pulsed ...

Despite the increasing prevalence of metabolic syndrome in adolescents, there is no consensus for its diagnosis.A cross-sectional study was conducted to compare the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in adolescents by different definitions, evaluate their concordance, and suggest which definition to apply in this population. A total of 851 adolescents between 10 and 18 years of age were evaluated. Anthropometric (weight, height, waist circumference), biochemical (glucose, lipid profile), and blood pressure ...

Abstract Rainfall is one of the most predominant geophonic sources in nature, and the major climatic phenomenon influencing species biology in tropical ecosystems. Although its effects on acoustic indices have been studied, rainfall is recognized as a nuisance factor affecting their estimation. Consequently, files with rainfall sounds are typically removed from ecoacoustic analyses. In tropical rainforests, where rainfall is a common and unpredictable event, its influence on acoustic indices needs ...

This work evaluates the effect of the excitation signal used when measuring the absorption coefficient on an impedance tube. This paper aims to offer some guidance on the selection of the excitation signal to perform sound absorption measurements using the impedance tube. Four possible excitation signals defined in ISO 10534-2 Standard were studied: two of them, random noise and two of them sine sweep signals. Some hypotheses tests were executed to assess the homogeneity of each measurement. The ...

In recent years, the idea of a highly immunogenic protein-based vaccine to combat Streptococcus pneumoniae and its severe invasive infectious diseases has gained considerable interest. However, the target proteins to be included in a vaccine formulation have to accomplish several genetic and immunological characteristics, (such as conservation, distribution, immunogenicity and protective effect), in order to ensure its suitability and effectiveness. This study aimed to get comprehensive insights ...

A group of 200 malnourished children and a control group of 118 well-nourished children were surveyed for bacteriuria and pyuria. The children were either ambulatory or hospitalized patients suffering from a variety of illnesses, but none had signs directly referable to urinary tract infection. Clean-voided specimens were obtained using a strict technique in the collections. Incidence of bacteriuria was found to be equally common in the two groups. Significant bacteriuria was found in 6 per cent ...

Abstract In this study, we validate precipitation estimates remotely sensed by the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) at monthly and seasonal timescales, during the period 1998–2015, by calculating and analyzing diverse error metrics between the 3B43 V7 product and in situ measurements from 1,180 rain gauges over Colombia, of which at least 987 are fully independent of TRMM. We explore the existence of spatiotemporal patterns to assess the performance of 3B43 V7 over the five major natural ...

Recombinant proteins are widely used as biopharmaceuticals, but their production by mammalian cell culture is expensive. Hence, improvement of bioprocess productivity is greatly needed. A temperature downshift (TDS) from 37°C to 28–34°C is an effective strategy to expand the productive life period of cells and increase their productivity (qp). Here, TDS in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell cultures, initially grown at 37°C and switched to 30°C during the exponential growth phase, resulted in a 1.6-fold ...

Abstract Diffused aeration is a sensitive process for wastewater treatment. Because of the nonlinearity and complexity of aerator dynamics due to microorganism metabolism and oxygen transfer, reliable mathematical models are needed to perform control-oriented tasks. To this end, in this study we develop a phenomenological based semi-physical model (PBSM) to predict and describe the dynamic behavior of the oxygen transfer in a diffused aeration process by means of a formal modeling methodology. This ...
