Hydrodynamic pressure exerted on a plunge pool slab by jet impingement is of high interest in high dam projects.The present study experimentally investigated the characteristics of pressure induced by a jet through a constant width flip bucket (CFB) and a slit flip bucket (SFB).A pressurized plane pipe was employed in the flume experiments to contr
Improved Sensitivity of Allergen Detection by Immunoaffinity LC-MS/MS Using Ovalbumin as a Case Study
Sandals and Slippers Food allergies are caused by severe hypersensitivity to specific food allergens such as the egg protein ovalbumin.It is therefore important to test food products for the presence of allergens to protect allergic people from accidental ingestion.For egg detection, ELISA is the only reasonable commercially available test format,
Papulopustular Dermatitis in X-Linked Chronic Granulomatous Disease
Here we describe two term male infants diagnosed with X-linked CGD who present, in addition to frequent infection, with a unique papulopustular skin rash.CGD is caused by a number of genetic defects that impair phagocyte function.This disease results in recurrent infections and granuloma formation.Rarely do patients develop cutaneous symptoms, unle
Metapopulation dynamics and foraging plasticity in a highly vagile seabird, the southern rockhopper penguin
Abstract Population connectivity is driven by individual dispersal potential and modulated by natal philopatry.In seabirds, high vagility facilitates dispersal yet philopatry is also common, with foraging area overlap often correlated with population connectivity.We assess the interplay between these processes by studying past and current connectiv
Integrated Wideband Multiplexer Design for Multiple-Use SATCOM/Terrestrial Terminals
A novel wideband multiplexer is introduced as a communications equipment solution in order to Welding Gloves provide simultaneous operation of satellite and terrestrial services in the dedicated $K$/$Ka$ frequency bands (passbands ranging from 19.5 GHz to 30.5 GHz).Advanced RF filtering techniques are applied in order to accommodate a compact multi
