Blood donation is considered as one of the purest forms of altruism. Plasma donation, in contrast, despite being a similar process, is mostly a paid activity in which donors are compensated for their …
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been widely used in various electronic equipment. The development of an effective method for predicting the remaining useful life (RUL) of LIBs can ensure the normal …
For the first time, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been developed and validated for the determination of fluvastatin (FLV) in plasma samples at picogram level. The assay employed a p…
Pregnancy alone lowered the plasma AA concentrations of ileu, leu, and val when compared to their concentrations in nonpregnant nonsmokers. Plasma concentrations of val, ileu, and leu were significant…
Organosulfates (OS) are important components of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) that have been identified in numerous field studies. This class of compounds within SOA can potentially affect aerosol p…
The measurement of single particle size distributions of amyloid fibrils is crucial for determining mechanisms of growth and toxicity. Nanopore sensing is an attractive solution for this problem since…
Viral clearance is a critical aspect of biopharmaceutical manufacturing process validation. To determine the viral clearance efficacy of downstream chromatography and filtration steps, live viral "spi…
Female noninbred Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to single doses of 0.28, 0.56, and 0.85 gray (Gy = 1 J/kg or 100 rads) of X-rays or 0.001, 0.004, 0.016, and 0.064 Gy of 430-keV neutrons at 62 +/- 1 …
The aim was to evaluate the associations between circulating P4 concentrations, corpus luteum (CL) size (diameter, area or volume) and blood perfusion (BP) in cows. In Experiment 1, Pearson's correlat…
A simple, robust and reliable method for mercury determination in seawater matrices based on the combination of cold vapour generation and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (CV-ICP-MS) and …
Early in the development of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, the rat undergoes a stress hyporesponsive period of blunted responses to several stressors including cold exposure (CE) and m…
The functioning of the hypothalamic pituitary-adrenocortical system was tested in young pigeons before and after hatching, by radiocompetitive assay of plasma corticosterone (B) at rest and under stre…
A laboratory sensor has now been developed to measure the absolute thickness of oil on water slicks. This prototype oil slick thickness measurement system is known as the laser-ultrasonic remote sensi…
Four rumen-cannulated calves were used in a block design to study changes in rumen fermentation end-products and rumen digesta kinetics after weaning. Calves were weaned at 5 wk of age and had access …
During pregnancy, high fat diet (HFD) induces maternal obesity, insulin resistance, and placental inflammatory responses that compromise placental and fetal development. Whether maternal HFD would adv…
A novel magnetic solid phase extraction coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography method was established to analyze polyaromatic hydrocarbons in environmental water samples. The extraction c…
To determine if adaptation to low calcium (Ca) diets is impaired by magnesium (Mg) deficiency, weanling rats were pair-fed control (700 mg Mg/kg diet) or low Mg (70 mg Mg/kg diet) diets containing 500…
OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of body weight, body composition, parental obesity, and metabolic variables on the development of obesity in a large cohort of 5-year-old Native American children with…
Previous studies have indicated that the devil stinger produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) during early development from fertilized egg to larva. To determine whether ROS generation is a common fea…
BACKGROUND: Gestational diabetes is a risk factor for perinatal complications; include shoulder dystocia, birth injuries such as bone fractures and nerve palsies. It is associated with later developme…
