Incidence of heart failure in an urban population
… compared to the bottom quartile of red cell distribution width had a significantly higher risk for HF hospitalization after adjusting for other risk factors. In conclusion, there are substantial differences in risk of hospitalization due to HF among immigrants from different countries. …

Theoretical and Computational Generalizations on Hyperthermia using Magnetic Nanoparticles including Optimization, Control, and Aggregation
… dissipation allows for control of temperature distributions inside the body. Third, the FE model is used to solve the temperature distributions resulting from capillary diffusion of IONPs. This study shows that capillary diffusion combined with direct injection results in improved homogeneity …

Extracorporeal Circulation: Effect of Long-Term (24-Hour) Circulation on Blood Components
… hemoglobin, platelet count, and red cell distribution width were different between circulated and non-circulated blood, however no differences were found between the pumping systems in any parameter. Red blood cell count, total hemoglobin, and hematocrit were not affected by time or …

Investigating the origin of localized plastic deformation in nanoporous gold by in situ electron microscopy and automatic structure quantification
… better confidence in morphology and size distribution of the complex NPG microstructural features. Nanoporous gold was synthesized while varying numerous processing factors such as dealloying time, annealing time, and mechanical agitation. Through the expanded scope of synthesis …

Investigation of the effects of colloidal suspension properties on spatially resolved diffuse reflectance
… are of primary concern. Particle size distribution provides with detailed characteristics of the material population, however, it is a challenging parameter to monitor during the process, due to limitations of the available analytical techniques.;In this thesis, amethodology which …

Novel risk factors for atrial fibrillation in an urban population
… in the ceruloplasmin gene (CP). Red blood cells distribution width (RDW) was measured in participants of Paper III. Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) was measured in participants of Paper IV. All subjects were without history of AF, myocardial infarction and heart failure at study entry. A …

Characterization of Black Liquor Sprays for Application to Entrained-Flow Processes
… macroscopic spray characteristics such as mass distribution. Fluid flow rates were measured to allow relevant dimensionless groups for the spray to be calculated. A 1000 degree C tubular furnace was placed around the spray to determine the effect of industrially relevant temperatures on the …

Predictors and Outcomes of Pica
… that decreased hemoglobin and increased red cell distribution width (RDW) were laboratory predictors of pica. Our study identified important outcomes of pica including hospitalization in the first 75 days after diagnosis, gastrointestinal (GI) disorders and infections, and fluid and electrolyte …

Evaluation of glucose supplement provided with enrichment to reduce hunger induced stress in gestating sows
… than POS on day 7 (P < 0.001) only. The Platelet distribution width was greater for POS sows than NEG sows (P = 0.04) but did not differ from the TRT sows. For the blood chemistry, TP (P = 0.003) and AST (P = 0.01) values showed a significant treatment by time interaction. TRT sows showed a higher …

Structural Analysis of Reconstituted Collagen Type I - Heparin Cofibrils
… shape, with a non-linear dependence in size distribution, width-to-length ratio, and morphology over a wide range of GAG concentrations. The experiments imply a pronounced impact of the nucleation phase on the cofibril morphology as a result of the strong electrostatic interaction of heparin …

Rectification of 2-D to 3-D Finite Element Analysis in Buried Concrete Arches Under Discrete Loading
… of a beam-on-elastic-foundation analysis and a distribution length by which the load in 2-D analysis is reduced. Distribution lengths are derived using bending energy ratios. The correlation considers structural geometry, overburden height, and base soil stiffness. Reduction of the 2-D design …

Physical tests, hormonal and oxidative-stress related biomarkers in intermittent training of Taekwondo Athletes
… haemaglobin concentration (MCHC), red distribution width (RDW), Platelets, Eosinophil and Basophil levels between experimental and control groups in the male and female athletes after the training period. RBC (L), Hb, Haematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW, and Lymphocyte levels increased …
