Optimization of the efficiency of stall control using air injection for centrifugal compressors
(Wiley Online Library, 1980-05)A plasticity theory for porous metals is proposed. A simple model of a porous materials is analysed by the finite element method. Small strain elastic–plastic analysis provides stress–strain curves, yield stressed and ... -
A modified plasticity theory for porous metals
(Wiley Online Library, 1980-05)A plasticity theory for porous metals is proposed. A simple model of a porous materials is analysed by the finite element method. Small strain elastic–plastic analysis provides stress–strain curves, yield stressed and ... -
Continuum bases and consistent numerical formulations of nonlinear continuum mechanics problems
(1984)The referential-description, spatial-description, and relative-description formulations in the finite-element approach to continuum-mechanics problems are reviewed and developed. Explicit final incremental equilibrium ... -
Formulation methods of geometric and material nonlinearity problems
(Wiley Online Library, 1984-05)A concise survey of formulation methods of geometric and material nonlinearity problems is given. Differences between existing formulations in the literature are discussed. A consistent Lagrangian and updated Lagrangian ... -
Prevalence of antibodies against hepatitis C virus among blood donors in Lebanon, 1997–2000
(American Association of Immunologists, 1986)A murine nonspecific suppressor-inducer cell line (M1-A5) was generated from the spleen cells of a mouse bearing an advanced methylcholanthrene-induced fibrosarcoma. We previously demonstrated the capability of M1-A5 cells ... -
Induction of suppression by a murine nonspecific suppressor-inducer cell line (M1-A5). II. The role of prostaglandins.
(American Association of Immunologists, 1986-03)A murine nonspecific suppressor-inducer cell line (M1-A5) was generated from the spleen cells of a mouse bearing an advanced methylcholanthrene-induced fibrosarcoma. We previously demonstrated the capability of M1-A5 cells ... -
The Substitutability Between Discretionary and Contractual Saving and the ‘Propensity’ to Save Profit and Wage Income in the UK
(Palgrave Macmillan Journals, 1987-01)The aim of this paper is to test the substitution hypothesis of saving according to which household regard their contractual saving (eg pension funds and/or corporate retained earnings) as full substitutes for their ... -
Cyclic AMP as the second messenger for prostaglandin E in modulating suppressor cell-activation by natural suppressor/cytotoxic cells
(Pergamon, 1987-01)The M1-A5 cell line, isolated from the spleen of a tumor bearing mouse, has been shown to secrete a suppressor cell-inducing factor (SIF) which activates suppressor cells from the spleen cells of unprimed mice. In an earlier ... -
Induction of suppression by a murine nonspecific suppressor-inducer cell line (M1-A5). III. Partial purification of the suppressor cell-inducing factors.
(Europe PMC, 1987-01)The cause of the state of anergy which often accompanies advanced tumor growth has been attributed to several factors, including nonspecific suppressor cells capable of suppressing humoral and cell-mediated responses. ... -
Corporate Retained Earnings and Personal Sector Saving: A Test of the Life- Cycle Hypothesis of Saving.
(Taylor & Francis, 1987-02)The dynamic personal saving function proposed by Swamy (1968) nests in a common framework, the life-cycle hypothesis (LCH) and the Houthakker-Taylor (1970) model of saving. Having accounted for a limitation of the generality ... -
A syntactically-based preprocessor for a limited experimental Arabic document retrieval system
(Creative Commons, 1988)The research reported in this thesis is about the description and discussion of an experimental document retrieval system for Arabic texts, using linguistic methods of analysis. Specifically, Arabic presents difficulties ... -
Alcohol and cigarette consumption among white and Asian general practice patients
(Sage, 1988-09-01)LOW prevalence of alcohol and cigarette consump tion in Asian populations has been reported, though there is come evidence that smoking is becoming more acceptable to certain groups of Asian males. We examined the smoking ... -

Suppressor cell-inducing factor: a new lymphokine secreted by a natural suppressor cell line with natural cytotoxic activity. I. Purification to apparent homogeneity and initial characterization of suppressor cell-inducing factor.
(American Association of Immunologists, 1988-10)The lymphokine suppressor cell-inducing factor (SIF), obtained from 15 liters of serum-free culture supernatants of the natural suppressor cell line, M1-A5, has been purified to apparent homogeneity by a combination of gel ... -
Patients' choice of general practitioner: influence of patients' fluency in English and the ethnicity and sex of the doctor.
(Royal College of General Practitioners, 1989)Asian patients' use of general practitioner services and, in particular, their interaction with doctors is not well researched. However, difficulty in communication and in the case of women, reluctance to be examined by a ... -
Optimum aeration rates for the suspension of larval feeds
(Elsevier, 1989-01)This short paper explores the suspension of food particles in larval rearing tanks and is concerned in particular with optimum aeration rates for a variety of tank designs and sizes, ranging form 5–1800 litres in volume ... -
Policies, pills, and political will: a critique of policies to improve the health status of ethnic minorities.
(PubMed, 1989-01-21)The health status of the UK's Pakistani, Indian, Bangladeshi, and East African minorities is significantly poorer than that of the white population. Improvements in the health experiences of these minorities requires more ... -
Health of British Asians; a research review
(Oxford University Press, 1989-02-01)About 2.5 per cent of United Kingdom residents are of Asian (or Indian subcontinent) origin though the term ‘Asian’ hides their internal diversities of languages, religions and national origins. The research on the health ... -
Influence of ethnicity and unemployment on the perceived health of a sample of general practice attenders
(Oxford University Press, 1989-05-01)Published research shows people of Asian origin to be less healthy than the white population. Most of the studies have not taken account of differences in employment between populations of white and Asian origin. Also, ... -
Aggregation phenomena in the suspension polymerization of VCM
(Springer, 1989-07-25)In the suspension polymerization of VCM, insoluble polymer particles are formed inside the monomer droplets. The growth and aggregation of these particles are responsible for important polymer properties, such as porosity. ...
