The relation between the electrokinetic charge of kaolinite particles and their flocculation behavior has been investigated over a wide range of pH and added salt (for MgCl(2) and NaCl salts). All flocculation experiments have been done with a mixing jar (sediment volume concentration phi=3.84x10(-5)). The electrokinetic charge of particles in different suspensions has been assessed by electrophoresis while laser diffraction has been used to measure the floc size distribution. Mixing jar experiments ...

BackgroundHypoxia and snoring-related mechanical trauma contribute to airway inflammation in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Increased exhaled nitric oxide (FENO), an airway inflammation marker, has been reported in OSA patients. We propose the measure of NO in the oral cavity (oNO) as marker of oropharyngeal inflammation in OSA.MethodsWe compared oNO and FENO of 39 OSA patients with those of 26 mild asthmatics (ASTHMA), 15 patients with chronic rhinitis or rhinosinusitis (CRS) and 24 healthy subjects. ...

Reliable clinical or laboratory markers of chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU) duration are not available. Angioedema, autologous serum skin test (ASST) results, and antithyroid antibodies have been inconsistently associated with longer urticaria duration.To investigate the association of clinical and laboratory parameters with CIU duration, including systemic hypertension, because activation of the coagulation cascade pathway may contribute to the pathogenesis of CIU.We performed a prospective study ...

The purpose of this paper is to establish a relation between a few measurable quantities (the so-called ζ potential, organic matter content, and shear rate) and the flocculation behavior of mud. The results obtained with small-scale flocculation experiments (mixing jar) are compared to results of large-scale experiments (settling column). The mud used for all experiments has been collected in October 2007 in the lower Western Schelde, near Antwerp, Belgium. From this study, it was found that the mean ...

Fabry disease is a rare lysosomal storage disorder which results from deficient activity of the enzyme alpha-galactosidase A. The resultant deposition and progressive accumulation of glycosphingolipids in all types of body tissue leads to severe clinical manifestations involving the heart, CNS and kidney. Renal manifestations are observed relatively early in the course of the disease, and progression to end-stage renal failure is common in hemizygous males in the third to fifth decades of life. ...

BackgroundPerennial rhinitis (PR), chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), or both, asthma, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are the most frequent triggers of chronic cough (CC). Extrathoracic airway receptors might be involved in all 3 conditions because asthma is often associated with PR/CRS and gastroesophageal refluxate might reach the upper airway. We previously found that most patients with rhinosinusitis, postnasal drip, and pharyngolaryngitis show laryngeal hyperresponsiveness (LHR; ie, vocal ...

Flocculation of suspended cohesive sediment, well-known to impact the floc size distribution and vertical fluxes, and cause morphodynamic changes of marine and riverine environments, is modelled by means of a population balance equation that implements a novel description of floc geometry: the capacity dimension of fractal flocs, normally assumed constant over the population, has recently been argued to change during flocculation. Our experiments have shown that a power-law function of the dimensionless ...

We have synthesized magnetic Fe2−xCoSmxO4 nanoparticles (NPs) by means of the coprecipitation method, varying Sm content from x=0 to x=0.5. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy showed agreement between the metal proportion of the obtained nanoparticles and the stoichiometric mixture of cations used for the synthesis. Part of the particles were heated at 800 °C, and both were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope imaging and magnetization measurements. Physical and magnetic ...

An anisotropic magnetorheological composite formed by dispersions of silver-covered magnetite microparticles (Fe3O4@Ag) in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) displaying electrical conduction only in one preferred direction is presented. A set-up for applying and detecting electrical conduction through the composite is described and applied to characterize the behavior of the system in on–off commutation cycles. The composite is obtained by loading the polymer with relatively low concentration of fillers ( ...

Magnetorheological elastomers, MREs, based on elastic organic matrices displaying anisotropic magnetoresistance and piezoresistivity at room temperature were prepared and characterized. These materials are dispersions of superparamagnetic magnetite forming cores of aggregated nanoparticles inside silver microparticles that are dispersed in an elastomeric polymer (poly(dimethylsiloxane), PDMS), curing the polymer in the presence of a uniform magnetic field. In this way, the elastic material becomes ...

Aspergillus fumigatus is present in the environment worldwide and it is only able to infect debilitated or immunodepressed subjects. Nosocomial outbreaks of A. fumigatus infection have been associated with hospital reconstruction. Spores are released into the environment and are inhaled by immunodepressed patients housed in nearby Medical Units. Specific clinical syndromes are allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis and invasive pulmonary aspergillosis with characteristic radiological features. ...

Anderson-Fabry disease (AFd) is a rare, inherited, x-linked disease characterized by the deficiency of the lysosomal enzymatic α-galactosidase A activity (α-Gal-A). The enzyme defect leads to progressive accumulation of glycosphingolipids (GL) in all kinds of cells, tissues, organs, and body fluids. The clinical manifestations are very protean, the residual activity of α-Gal-A and/or different gene mutations might explain different phenotypes, but as yet these concepts have not been proven. Usually, ...

Magnetic brain responses to speech sounds were measured in 10 healthy neonates. The stimulation consisted of a frequent vowel sound [a:] with a steady pitch contour, which was occasionally replaced by the vowel [i:] with a steady pitch, or the vowel [a:] with a rising pitch, manifesting a change of intonation. The magnetic mismatch-negativity response (MMNm) was obtained and successfully modelled to the speech sound quality change in all infants and to the intonation change in 6 infants. The present ...

In this article we explore how structural parameters of composites filled with one-dimensional, electrically conducting elements (such as sticks, needles, chains, or rods) affect the percolation properties of the system. To this end, we perform Monte Carlo simulations of asymmetric two-dimensional stick systems with anisotropic alignments. We compute the percolation probability functions in the direction of preferential orientation of the percolating objects and in the orthogonal direction, as functions ...

Buckwheat allergy is considered a rare food allergy outside of Asia. In Europe, buckwheat has been described mainly as a hidden allergen. Data on the prevalence of buckwheat hypersensitivity in non-Asian countries is very poor. The aim of this multicenter study was to evaluate the prevalence of buckwheat sensitization and its association with other sensitizations among patients referred to allergy clinics in different geographic areas of Italy. All patients referred to 18 Italian allergy clinics ...

Mutations in the COL4A5 gene, which encodes the a5 chain of type IV collagen, are found in a large fraction of patients with X-linked Alport syndrome. The recently discovered COL4A6, tightly linked and highly homologous to COL4A5, represents a second candidate gene for Alport syndrome. We analyzed 177 Italian Alport syndrome families by Southern blotting using cDNA probes from both COL4A5 and COL4A6. Nine unrelated families, accounting for 5% of the cases, were found to have a rearrangement in COL4A5. ...

Abstract Fabry disease is a rare X‐linked disorder, characterized by deficient activity of the lysosomal enzyme α‐galactosidase A. This leads to systemic accumulation of the glycosphingolipid globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) in all body tissues and organs, including the kidney. Renal manifestations are less evident in female heterozygotes than in male hemizygotes, according to the Lyon hypothesis. Accumulation of Gb3 occurs mainly in the epithelial cells of Henle's loop and distal tubule, inducing early ...
