The present study was designed to investigate the suspected bacterial and/or fungal contamination in intravenous (IV) fluids due to malpractice of administration in Baghdad hospitals.The study was conducted during the period from May to August 2010.One hundred and thirteen intravenous fluid samples were collected from different wards in Baghdad tea
Enhancement of low-voltage ride-through capability for virtual synchronous generators based on virtual impedance voltage control
Virtual Synchronous Generator MINERAL MIST (VSG)-based grid-forming converters (GFC) increasingly serve as interfaces between renewable energy resources and the power grids with high penetration.Although the emulation of the characteristics of Synchronous Generator (SG) enables GFC to provide virtual inertia and oscillation damping under the VSG co
Study protocol for The Emory 3q29 Project: evaluation of neurodevelopmental, psychiatric, and medical symptoms in 3q29 deletion syndrome
Abstract Background 3q29 deletion syndrome is caused by a recurrent hemizygous 1.6 Mb deletion on the long arm of chromosome 3.The syndrome is rare (1 in 30,000 individuals) and is associated with mild to moderate intellectual disability, increased risk for autism and anxiety, and a 40-fold increased risk for schizophrenia, along with a host of phy
A cysteine-rich transmembrane module peptide GhCYSTM9 is involved in cold stress response
Abstract Background Cysteine-rich transmembrane module (CYSTM) peptides, which are widely distributed and highly conserved in eukaryotes, are largely involved in stress response and defence.However, the role of cotton CYSTM genes in the stress response has not been functionally characterized.Results In this study, we identified GhCYSTM9 as a cold s
