Comprehensive investigation of lattice dynamics of neutron multiplier beryllides: vibrational spectra and thermal performances

Nuclear Fusion, 2023
In order to realize tritium self-sufficiency during the operation of fusion reactors, neutron multiplier materials are needed to multiply the number of neutrons. Beryllium (Be) and beryllides (Be _12 V, Be _12 Ti) are considered as candidates for neutron

Therapeutic Apheresis in Nigeria: A Multi‐Center Summary of Abstracts From the Inaugural Nigerian Society for Apheresis Scientific Meeting

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Therapeutic apheresis (TA) is an established treatment modality for hematologic, neurologic, and immunologic disorders, yet access remains severely limited in sub‐Saharan Africa. Donor apheresis, including platelet apheresis collection from healthy donors, represents an important complementary modality supporting blood product ...

Neural-Network-Based Prediction of Non-Burial Overwintering Material Covering Height for Wine Grapes

Agronomy
Grapevines in cold regions are prone to frost damage in winter. Due to its adverse effects on soil structure, plant damage, high operational costs, and limited mechanization feasibility, buried soil overwintering has been gradually replaced by no-burial ...

Establishing an Apheresis Medicine Program in a Resource‐Constrained Setting: A 5‐Year Experience From Lagos, Nigeria

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Establishing a comprehensive apheresis medicine program in a resource‐constrained setting presents significant structural, financial, and logistical challenges. Despite the growing clinical importance of apheresis services globally, published experience from sub‐Saharan Africa remains sparse.

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

The effect of blanket system and port plugs on the harmonic components of error field and optimizing approach investigation

Nuclear Fusion, 2023
The fusion plasma is sensitive to the penetration of the toroidal mode numbers $n$ harmonic components of the error fields (EFs), and the toroidal mode components of the EFs are closely tied to the toroidal distribution of the magnetic field source.

Association Between Individualized Education for Kidney Replacement Therapy Modality Selection and Peritoneal Dialysis Initiation: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an established home‐based kidney replacement therapy (KRT), but its uptake remains low in Japan. We evaluated whether individualized education in a dedicated outpatient clinic was associated with the initiation of PD.

Water Reservoir Within the Karst Field Overburden: Gusić Polje, Croatia

Geologia Croatica, 2002
The Gusić reservoir is a compensation basin constructed in the karstfield. The reservoir lies on a Quaternary overburden free of ponors(sinkholes) and suffosions. After the reservoir filling the water losseswere up to <6.4 m3/s.
