Which pre-operative findings translate to a positive intra-operative cholangiogram? by Elmusbahi, Mohamed Ali M

“…Background: The most common investigations used in the pre-operative diagnosis of choledocholithiasis are ultrasound and liver function tests (LFTs). These modalities have a low sensitivity for detecting common bile duct stones amongst the intermediate-risk groups. …”

The genetics of cognition in Schizophrenia by Wootton, Olivia

“…Background: Cognitive impairment is a well-documented feature of schizophrenia and a major determinant of functional outcomes. Cognitive function may be assessed by measuring mean performance measures on cognitive tasks or by measuring variability in performance across tasks or trials of a task that make up a cognitive test battery. …”

Real-time power system impedance estimation for DG applications: Using PV-inverter based harmonic injection method by Knezevic, Aleksa

“…In this work, the active method is implemented in a three-phase PV-inverter and thoroughly tested in terms of its TEI estimation accuracy. Dependence of said accuracy on parameters such as the level of injected current and its frequency is shown to be high through tests performed on the live PS at two locations. …”

An Experimental Study on the Infiltration Potential of Stormwater Ponds in Zeekoe Catchment, Cape Town, South Africa by Mavundla, Kgomoangwato

“…From the HYDRUS 2-D simulations, the period required for the wetting front movement from the pond surfaces to the water table ( 5.5 m below the surface) was 15 140 hours. Hydraulic conductivities estimated using the pedotransfer function (PTF) of the built-in software, Rosetta-Lite, were also greater than the field hydraulic conductivity values by 118%. …”

Considering the effect of pulp chemistry during flotation on froth stability by Sheni, Nanji Ruth

“…In this study the Eh, pH, DO and IS were successfully manipulated to investigate their effects on froth stability and water recovery in 2-phase, as well as their effect on water and solids recovery, entrainment and the grades and recoveries of valuable minerals (copper, nickel, platinum and palladium) in 3-phase in the absence and presence of depressant at high dosages; 500 g/t Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC). Stability column tests were used to determine froth stability as a function of the dynamic stability factor (Barbian et al., 2005) and batch flotation tests were used to obtain the total water and solids recovered, the grades and recoveries of the valuable minerals as well as to determine entrainment. …”
