More about the developing of invisible lipstick-contaminated lipmarks on human skin: The usefulness of fluorescent dyes
2006
At the present time fingerprints are one of the simplest, and most reliable means of identification. Increasingly, crime scene investigators look for palm, foot, ear or lip prints. With regard to lip prints, the use, very common today, of protective or permanent lipsticks allow the production an invisible lipmark (or invisible lipstick-contaminated lipmark) which is possible to develop. Some results have already been published about developers useful for different kinds of surfaces (both porous and non-porous) as well as those which are more efficient in case of old or recent prints. The latest studies are about the developing on human skin, and they prove the usefulness of lysochromes (spe…
A combination of umbilical artery PI and normalized blood flow volume in the umbilical vein: Venous–arterial index for the prediction of fetal outcome
2008
Abstract Objective The objective was to assess the diagnostic power of the umbilical venous–arterial index (VAI) as a combination of the pulsatility index in the umbilical artery and the normalized blood flow volume in the umbilical vein for the prediction of poor fetal outcome. Study design This was a prospective clinical study in which the umbilical artery PI (UAPI), the normalized umbilical vein blood volume flow rate ( n UV; ml/min/kg estimated fetal body weight), the venous–arterial index (VAI; n UV/UAPI), and the pulsatility index (PI) in the umbilical artery (UA), uterine artery (utA), middle cerebral artery (MCA), and aorta were determined in 181 fetuses once (at between 17 and 41 w…
Uso de indicadores bibliométricos para el análisis de temas emergentes y su evolución: spin-offs como caso de estudio
2018
[ES] Las spin-offs constituyen una de las áreas de investigación más atractivas, ya que están asociadas con fenómenos como el emprendimiento, la innovación y la transferencia del conocimiento. El presente estudio muestra que la selección y el uso de indicadores bibliométricos permite identificar y caracterizar el desarrollo y la difusión de temas de investigación emergentes como el analizado. Los principales aspectos observados en relación con el desarrollo de la investigación sobre las spin-offs son que se produce un auge en el número de publicaciones después de un largo período de latencia y la marcada naturaleza multidisciplinar del área. El presente enfoque ha analizado la evolución de …
Cooperatives' performance relative to investor-owned firms: a non-distorted approach for the wine sector
2021
PurposeThis study aims to investigate whether significant performance differences between cooperatives and investor-owned firms (IOFs) may exist.Design/methodology/approachBased on data from a sample of Italian wine firms for the period from 2009 to 2018, an adjusted measure of performance called earnings before interests, taxes, depreciations and amortizations gross the raw materials cost was adopted to consider the different objectives of cooperatives relative to those of IOFs.FindingsEmpirical evidence shows that in the context under analysis, cooperatives have performed better than IOFs.Originality/valueDespite the theoretical literature suggesting that the cooperative form of organizat…
Izpildes pamatrādītāju ieviešana Datu apstrādes komandā
2015
Mūsdienās uzņēmumi un organizācijas aizvien vairāk sāk domāt par savu darbinieku zināšanu kapitālu, darba kvalitāti un attiecīgi darbinieku uzdevumu izpildi. Tādēļ maģistra darba autore ir izvēlējusies savā darbā apskatīt izpildes pamatrādītāju sistēmas un iespējas to ieviešanai. Maģistra darba mērķis ir, pamatojoties uz uzņēmuma un datu apstrādes komandas procesu analīzi, identificēt iespējamos izpildes pamatrādītājus par visas komandas darbību un izstrādāt priekšlikumus to ieviešanai. Maģistra darba mērķa sasniegšanai tika izvirzīti sekojoši uzdevumi: •iepazīties ar izpildes pamatrādītāju pieejām un sistēmām, lai spētu izprast to nozīmīgumu un būtību; •novērtēt pamatdatu pārvaldīšanas noz…
Valeurs de référence du valproate de sodium (CAS n°1069-66-5). Valeurs toxicologiques de référence par voie orale et inhalation, valeurs limites d’ex…
2021
Le site de Sanofi situé à Mourenx, dans le bassin industriel de Lacq (64), produit un médicament antiépileptique, la Dépakine®, dont le principe actif est le valproate de sodium (VPS). Ce site est une installation classée pour la protection de l’environnement (ICPE) soumise à autorisation au titre de l’article L.511-1 et suivants du Code de l’environnement. Les rejets dans l’environnement d’une telle installation sont encadrés par des limites établies sur la base d’une évaluation quantitative des risques sanitaires (EQRS). En 2017, Sanofi Chimie a réalisé une évaluation de l’impact sur la santé et l’environnement des rejets atmosphériques de valproate, en utilisant des valeurs toxicologique…
Indicators for sustainable pedestrian mobility
2012
Pedestrians walk everyday to satisfy their basic necessities. They need an environment that reflects their requirements and expectations, in other words "liveable" as much as possible. So we should offer tools that could allow a complete and clear evaluation of the existing walking environment, taking into account both pedestrian requirements and urban environment schemes. To measure pedestrian mobility performance we usually use indicators, which measure performances and grant a quick estimation of progress. Indicators are universally acknowledged synthetic and standard parameters that should help policy makers gauge whether things are going in the right direction or not. They should be ou…
The Value of Brand Equity
2013
Abstract This paper aims to be a brief presentation of brand equity as a provider of strategic advantages for companies that own brands. Successful management of a brand must be focused on values capitalization so that these attributes could represent a natural extension of general perception. The stated goal of any brand manager is to strengthen the brand values so that they may be easily recognizable and identifiable to the public.
FIA-fluorimetric determination of thiamine.
1990
A flow injection-fluorimetric determination of thiamine is reported. The procedure is based on the oxidation of the analyte with potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) immobilized on an anionic exchange resin; the fluorescence is monitored in aqueous basic solution. Concentrations of the vitamin of 0.1-4 ppm have been determined; the relative standard deviation was 1.8%. The injection rate was 28 samples/h. The influence of other substances and the determination of the drug in a pharmaceutical formulation are also reported.
alpha-Tocopherol, MDA-HNE and 8-OHdG levels in liver and heart mitochondria of adriamycin-treated rats fed with alcohol-free beer.
2008
Different studies indicate that oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage are key factors in different pathogenic process. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible protective role of alcohol-free beer on adriamycin-induced (ADR) heart and liver toxicity using biomarkers of oxidative stress. This effect was compared with the effect of alcohol beer intake and with a control group. Rats were randomly divided into six groups. The first group received no adriamycin, was fed with water and was regarded as the control group; the second group was injected with a ADR (two cycles of 5mg/kg); the third and fourth groups were fed with alcohol-free and beer for 21 days, respectively and the…
