Numerical simulation of stall development into surge and stall control using air injection in centrifugal compressors by Halawa, Taher

“…Results showed finally that the surge margin can be increased by using the injection with angle of 30° and with injection mass flow rate of 1% of the design inlet mass flow rate and this causes the surge limit to shift from 4 kg/s to 3.9 kg/s.…”

CLINICAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACT OF GENETIC AND NON-GENETIC FACTORS ON INR NORMALIZATION IN PRE-OPERATIVE MANAGEMENT OF WARFARIN PATIENTS by ELJILANY, ISLAM AHMED SAYED AHMED

“…To optimize the period of preprocedural warfarin interruption to decrease the incidence of bleeding in case of bridging and the incidence of thromboembolism in case of non-bridging, a study was conducted to determine the influence of CYP2C9, VKORC1, CYP4F2, FII, and FVII genetic polymorphisms and non-genetic factors on INR decline in a cohort of Arabs undergoing a procedure that requires warfarin interruption and developing an algorithm to tailor the duration of warfarin interruption before the procedure. …”

Low electro-synthesis potentials improve permselectivity of polymerized natural phenols in biosensor applications by Monti, Patrizia

“…The natural phenol-coated electrodes were stable and responsive throughout 14 days. A biosensor prototype based on acetylcholine esterase and choline oxidase was electro-coated with poly-magnolol in order to evaluate the interference-rejecting properties of the electrosynthesized film in an amperometric biosensor; a moderate decrease in ascorbic acid rejection was observed during in vitro calibration of biosensors.…”
