...ADAMTS-13 is a protease and it’s role is to cleave vWF (ulvWF). ADAMTS-13 INH ELISA allows us to detect the human autoantibodies (IgG) which is found in plasma and or serum against the ADAMTS-13. These autoantibodies inhibit ADAMTS-13 activity, hence non-cleaved ULvW gather in the plasma – one of the main causes of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). TECHNOZYM® ADAMTS-13 INH test allows us to differentiate between autoantibodies (acquired) and congenital (gene polymorphisms) TTP when paired to an activity assay. It is also used to control efficacy of plasma exchange therapy. Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP) is an uncommon blood disorder which is defined as clotting in the small blood vessels of the body which causes low platelet count (thromboses). The disease can also cause some of the following when TTP progresses: hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenic purpura, neurologic abnormalities, fever, and acute renal damage/failure. Assays have been developed to measure von Willebrand factor cleaving enzyme (ADAMTS-13) activity. ADAMTS-13 activity can be low, and inhibitors to its activity can often be demonstrated in patients with TTP. These are confirmatory tests, as the results are not returned in time to make a prompt diagnosis. There is debate over whether the ADAMTS-13 activity assay can help in the management of patients with TTP. It does not appear to predict who will respond to plasma exchange. Studies have shown that the multiple domains of ADAMTS-13 are...

...the cost of collision. • Intent signals are sent until the cable is clear so that data will travel and reach its destination carefully. • RTS/CTS provide virtual carrier sense which protects against hidden terminal collisions. The steps that are to be used in the algorithm are as follows: • Assemble the frame for transmission. • Create two simulations and start the simulation environments. • Then node senses the channel, if channel is idle then transmit RTS frame. • Otherwise wait for random backoff time. • After transmitting RTS, if CTS received then application data is transmitted. • But in case if CTS is not received then again it uses random backoff time. These steps are followed using CSMA/CA with RTS/CTS. 3.2.1 CSMA/CA Algorithm 1. CW=CWmin 2. Choose random backoff counter b uniformly for (0,CW] 3. Sense the channel 4. If idle Transmit the frame 5.

...Introduction: With the advances of micro electro mechanical system technology, wireless communications and digital electronics, Wireless Sensor Networks have been used in everywhere such as battlefield surveillance, environment supervision and traffic control has become a reality. Wireless Sensor Networks consist of large number of sensor nodes which collect and route data to the external sink with a certain transmission regulation. Due to the limitations of bandwidth memory and computing capability of such nodes the applied routing topology should ensure the minimization of energy consumption and hence maximization the lifetime of the network. When the energy is limited, our main aim is to find a route which can minimize the energy consumption and maximize the network lifetime. In typical WSNs applications, data about a particular event is collected by the sensor nodes and then sent to the Base Station. Since nodes are deployed densely, the high density of the network may lead to nodes generating and transmitting redundant data, which results in unnecessary energy consumption. Data aggregation can be the solution for this problem. Data aggregation basically eliminates redundant data and reduces the communication load. Clustering method has been extensively exploited for increasing the network scalability. In this paper we propose an energy efficient load balanced data gathering routing protocol to minimize energy consumption and thus enhance the network lifetime. The cluster...

...The implications of the above results are discussed next. As it can be seen in Figure 1, ESSENDON1 drug seemed to not to be effective in the Forced Swim Test experiment. The data shows that there is a higher percentage of immobility in the control group (mean = 54.3 +12.4%) compared to the ESSENDON1 test group (mean = 47.5 +7.6 %). This indicates that the test group demonstrated to have less escape - related behaviour and was found to be more anxious than the control group. Moreover, the t–test (p=0.6497) indicates there is ~65% chance that the immobility is the same and hence there is no significant differences between the two groups. The bar graph of the Elevated plus-maze test in Figure 2 demonstrates the effectiveness of ESSENDON1. Through immediate observation, the...

...MANET is the infrastructureless network without any access point or base station. It consists of the mobile nodes and has dynamic topology. MANET is self configured and self organizing network. In the ad hoc network nodes are free to move anywhere and any pair of nodes can communicate directly if they are in the transmission range of each other otherwise the communicating nodes depend upon the other nodes present in the network for the communication. So, MANET follows the multi-hop pattern for the communication. In the ad hoc network, the nodes can act as the router as well as host. The nodes in the network dynamically exchange the data without their dependency on any wired backbone network. The nodes in the network are differentiated by their processing, energy consumed, memory resources and most important by their high degree of mobility. Routing protocols play an important role in order to transmit the data from one node to another. The goal of the ad hoc network routing protocols is to establish the valid and efficient routes between the nodes so that the messages are delivered within time. The routing protocols must be able to deal with high degree of mobility. Depending upon their network structure the routing protocols are classified into three types: Proactive protocols, Reactive protocols and Hybrid protocols. Proactive protocols are table-driven routing protocols. Each node stores the network topology information and routing information is exchanged periodically. When...

...Watchdog detects malicious misbehavior's by promiscuously listening to its next hop’s transmission. If a Watchdog node overhears that its next node fails to forward the packet within a certain period of time, it increases its failure counter. Whenever a node’s failure counter exceeds a predefined threshold, the Watchdog node reports it as misbehaving. The watchdog is capable of detecting malicious nodes rather than links. These advantages have made the Watchdog scheme a popular choice in the field. Many MANET IDSs are either based on or developed as an improvement to the Watchdog scheme the Watchdog scheme fails to detect malicious misbehavior's with the presence of the following: 1) ambiguous collisions; 2) receiver collisions; 3) limited transmission power; 4) false misbehavior report ; 5) collusion ; and 6) partial...

Separate any visible jacket slitting cords that are present, trim it backto the edge of the jacket. * Untwist all the inner conductor pairs and spread them apart so that you can see each individual conductor * Line up the individual conductors so that the color matches the color-coding standard you are using * Trim the conductors so that the ends are even with each other, make sure that the jacketof the cable will be inside the connector. The total length of the exposed connectors after trimming should be no longer then ½ inch to 0.625 inches * Insert the conductors into the connector, make sure that all conductors line up properly with the pins as they were in the previous step. If they don’t line up, try again. Make sure to do this step carefully, it’s the last one before crimping * Carefully insert the connector and cable into the crimping tool. It has two dies that will press into the connector. Push the pins in the connector into the conductorsinside the connector...

One of the methods that I have used in the past was mind-mapping because I went through a stage where I felt as if mind maps was a reflection of my brain. It was all over the show and it was really messy. I also tried physical studying. I would use diagrams and physical objects such as cue cards to help me study. I found it difficult to adapt to certain study methods and it got frustrating. In actual fact I became despondent always thinking I won’t be able to find the proper study method. I then tried studying with music. This method also failed as I am someone who gets distracted easily. I moved on and tried studying everything out of my workbook in a parrot fashion...

...then there exist two natural number $m$ and $n$ such that $\sqrt{2} = \frac{n}{m}$ where $m \neq 0$ and the greatest common divisor of $m$ and $n$ is 1. Now, $\sqrt{2} = \frac{n}{m}$ implies $2 = \frac{n^2}{m^2}\ \Rightarrow n^2 = 2m^2$. The number $n^2$ is even because is equal to 2 times something, also $n$ is even, since even number times even number is always an even number. This means that $n$ can be written as $2k$ for some $k\in \textit{N}$. Substituting $n = 2k$ in $2 = \frac{n^2}{m^2}$ yield $2 = \frac{4k^2}{m^2} \Rightarrow m^2 = 2k^2$,...
