These agents comprise inert, catalytic, and hydrofluorocarbon suppressants.
To accomplish this objective, we passed whole blood and re-constituted blood samples (purified red blood cells suspended in buffer or in autologous plasma) through an artificial microvascular network (AMVN) comprising completely inert, microfabricated vessels with the architecture inspired by the real microvasculature.
A gas supplier, comprised of inert gas and vacuum supply ports, is mounted on a second pneumatic z-axis actuator affixed near the vial gripper (Figure 3).
The Cu/HfO2/Pt device with the schematic structure shown in Fig. 1a is comprised of an inert Pt bottom electrode (BE), a HfO2 RS layer, and an oxidizable Cu metal top electrode (TE).
The flame structure is presumed to comprise three zones: an inert preheat zone, a thin reaction zone, and a post-flame zone.
We varied the proportion of viral genes-containing (hereafter "viral rescue" plasmids) and Env-expressing (or an inert control named B1) plasmids comprising the 0.8 μg total in 0.2 μg (25%) increments.
Interventions The active treatment comprised a manual therapy and home exercise programme; the placebo treatment comprised inactive ultrasound therapy and application of an inert gel.
An RFC comprising a catalyst bed flanked by two beds of inert material is discussed based on a lumped kinetics of NOx reduction over a noble metal lean-NOx catalyst.
14 We evaluated the effect of a probiotic comprising two strains of lactobacilli and two strains of bifidobacteria, or an inert placebo, administered to mother-infant dyads in the perinatal period on clinical and laboratory manifestations of atopy.
By treating the active sites (which may be comprised of Si, Sn, Al, or Bi) as nanospheres embedded in an inert matrix, linear elastic fracture mechanics are employed in order to develop design criteria for these alternative battery systems, with respect to fracture that results from the large volume expansions that the active sites undergo upon Li-insertion.
