First Trimester Screening and Its Impact On Uptake of Diagnostic Testing
Introduction: First Trimester Screening (FTS) combines maternal age with fetal nuchal translucency (NT) and maternal analytes to identify pregnancies at an increased risk for Down syndrome and trisomy 18. Though the accuracy of this screening is high, it cannot replace the conclusive accuracy of …

DEVELOPMENT OF SUPPORTED COBALT CATALYST FOR FISCHER-TROPSCH SYNTHESIS
Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) is a major part of feed-to-liquid (XTL) technologies which convert syngas (H_2+CO) into clean liquid hydrocarbon fuels and specialty chemicals. Understanding and developing FTS catalysts using mesoporous materials are of main interest in the present work. In the …

The role of the Fused toes locus containing Iroquois homeobox gene 3, 5, and 6 and Ftm, Fto, and Fts during ovary and testis development in mice
… Irx3, Irx5 and Irx6 and three other genes: Fto, Fts, and Ftm, during male and female gonad development. Ft mutant mice are missing Ft locus genes whose function is unknown during male and female gonad development. These six missing genes show stage and sex specific expression patterns during sex …

Selective production of nitrogen-containing compounds via a modified Fischer-Tropsch process
… co-feeding of ammonia into the Fischer-Tropsch (FTS) process over ironbased catalysts revealed that the presence of ammonia during the FTS leads to the formation of nitrogen-containing compounds (NCCs). Recent studies on the addition of ammonia to the FTS process, now known as the Nitrogen …

Adding ammonia during Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis: Pathways to the formation of N-containing compounds
The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) process, better known for its ability to produce synthetic fuel via the hydrogenation of CO, has shown potential to produce valuable chemicals when ammonia is added to the feed. In this work certain aspects of the pathway to the formation of N-containing …
