Abstract Introduction: Bethesda assays, used in the quantification of factor VIII inhibitors, are time and labor intensive. They are performed by mixing one part of normal pooled plasma (NPP) with an equal amount of serial dilutions of patient plasma in imadizole buffered saline (IBS), and incubating at 37°C for 2 hours. After the incubation time, most laboratories perform factor VIII (FVIII) activities on each tube. These results are divided by the activity resulted on the control (NPP+IBS) to obtain the percent residual activity. The dilution with a percent residual FVIII activity between 25

In order to assess the limits and applicability of Pitot tubes for the measurement of flow velocity in narrow ducts, e.g., biomass burning plants, an optical, dual function device was implemented. This sensor, based on spectroscopic techniques, targets a trace gas, injected inside the stack either in bursts, or continuously, so performing transit time or dilution measurements. A comparison of the two optical techniques with respect to Pitot readings was carried out in different flow conditions (speed, temperature, gas composition).

Potato (Solanum tuberosum) is an important and widespread crop in Bulgaria. A new disease was observed on a single potato plot (Plovdiv region) without a history of potato cultivation in the spring of 2011.

The wilting progressed over time and eventually the whole stem became desiccated. A blackleg-like necrosis was noticed at the stem base when symptomatic plants were uprooted. Most diseased stems remained green above ground but pith tissue was heavily mace

Blast counts in all previous classification schemes are based on morphologic assessment of marrow aspirates with a poor correlation to blast counts determined by flow cytometry.

Treatments of the research were P0 : coconut water 80% + egg yolk 20% without guava filtrate; P1 : coconut water 80% + egg yolk 20% + 0.8% guava filtrate; P2 : coconut water 80% + egg yolk 20% + 0.9% guava filtrate; P3 : coconut water 80% + egg yolk 20% + 1.0

Scales (Hemiptera, Diaspididae) are the dangerous crop and park-ornamental plant pests. They reproduce very quickly and cause great harm to plants, sometimes even lead to their complete destruction. Scales suck juices from plants, cause premature drying, dying and falling off leaves, dry branches, deformation of leaves, fruits and shoots, reducing annual growth of plants. Therefore the fight with these pests is rather topical in the agriculture.

This study proposes the use of a new device named “Sarah” that is designed to permit all in-straw embryo cryopreservation procedures.

The possible health effects of eating contaminated shellfish were estimated by quantitative risk assessment. A paucity of data was encountered necessitating many assumptions to complete the risk estimate. The level of Campylobacter spp in shellfish meat was calculated on the basis of a five-tube, single dilution MPN and was strongly season-dependent.

However, no studies have reported the effect of extended storage of bovine semen in LN2. In this study, cryopreserved semen from Angus bulls (n = 25) was utilized.

Abstract BCL-ABL fusion gene can be found in 100% chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and about 25% adult acute lympholid leukemia where its expression level is a crucial parameter for monitoring of minimal residual disease (MRD).
