description: Because of intensive mining of high-grade manganese ores for a long time while leaving behind the low-grade ores, the utilization of the latter has become necessary.  There are several physicochemical differences among the components in manganese ores, which can be used for the enrichment of manganese. In particular, the abundant low-grade manganese ores, which contain iron oxide, may be upgraded by prereduction  and magnetic separation.  In this study, ferruginous low-grade manganese ore was prereduced by CO, which converted iron oxide to Fe3O4 while manganese oxide was reduced to MnO. Then, the  iron-rich component was collected by magnetic separation. The effects of sample particle size and various other reduction parameters on the efficiency of magnetic separation were studied. Under the optimum experimental conditions, the manganese content in the ore increased from around 36% to more than 45%, and almost 50% of iron were removed at a Mn loss of around 5% by this method.  For the kinetics study of the reduction of Mn3O4 in the ore, TGA was used to investigate the reduction extent and reduction rate at different reduction conditions.  During the reduction, the changes in the phases were examined by XRD. Based on the experimental data as well as the physical features of sample particles used in this work, the nucleation and growth equation was determined to best represent the reduction rate and a complete rate equation was formulated. In addition, the effects of such major impurities as Fe2O3 and SiO2 on the reduction process were also determined in this work.

description: Public understanding of and support for GM foods in the U.S. are generally low and out of step with the scientific community, and particularly among those who identify as environmentalists. In order to communicate the scientific consensus on GM foods to these audiences, messages may need to be tailored to reduce reactance. We employ a messaging experiment that tests the potential for first-person narratives to link acceptance of the scientific evidence on climate change to the scientific evidence on GM foods among individuals high in environmental concern. Our study found that such messages were generally more effective than non-narrative messages or narrative messages without climate change information, and they were especially effective at conveying scientific consensus and influencing personal views on GM foods among those who identify as environmentalists, through reduced reactance. The results offer modest evidence of a theoretically driven, practical technique for communicating scientific consensus about GM foods in a way that can help reduce reactance in people who are especially likely to oppose GM foods.

The role of humoral factors in cellular resistance.

Cellular Resistance

description: In vitro experiments were undertaken to determine the role of compliment, properdin and antibody in the phagocytosis and cytopepsis of Histoplasma capsulatum by peritoneal macrophages from normal and immunized mice. Two methods of approach were employed.  The first involved the use of freely suspended infected macrophages while the second made use of macrophages attached to glass before infection with the organism.  Phagocytic rates were measured by microscopic examination of stained smears in the former method, while supernatant sampling techniques for P-32 activity was employed in the second method.  Both procedures involved sampling the medium during incubation to follow cytopepsis.  The hypothesis involved was that the P-32 activity appearing in the medium with time was a function of cytopeptic activity of the macrophages on ingested P-32 labeled organisms.  Under the experimental condition it was found that rate of phagocytosis were not altered by the presence of various humoral factors studied nor were any differences noted in the rates of ingestion by normal and "immune" populations of cells.  The rates of cytopepsis, however, were definitely enhanced by the presence of heat labile factors (i.e., complement and the properdin system, which consists of complement, properdin and Mg++) and less so by antibody, although complement and specific antibody produced increased cytopeptic rates.  Studies using complement reagents lacking one or more components failed to reveal which fractions of the heat labile factor might be responsible for enhanced cytopepsis.  The "immune" population of cells was found to have increased cytopeptic activity over normal cells in a freely suspended phagocyte system, but not by a fixed macrophage system.  This finding points to the importance of the technology involved in biological investigative models.
Development and kinetic analysis of cobalt gradient formation in WC-Co composites

FG WC-Co

description: Functionally graded cemented tungsten carbide (FG WC-Co) is one of the main research directions in the field of WC-Co over decades. Although it has long been recognized that FG WC-Co could outperform conventional homogeneous WC-Co owing to its potentially superior combinations of mechanical properties, until recently there has been a lack of effective and economical methods to make such materials. The lack of the technology has prevented the manufacturing and industrial applications of FG WC-Co from becoming a reality.  This dissertation is a comprehensive study of an innovative atmosphere heat treatment process for producing FG WC-Co with a surface cobalt compositional gradient. The process exploited a triple phase field in W-C-Co phase diagram among three phases (solid WC, solid Co, and liquid Co) and the dependence of the migration of liquid Co on temperature and carbon content. WC-Co with a graded surface cobalt composition can be achieved by controlling the diffusion of carbon transported from atmosphere during sintering or during postsintering heat treatment. The feasibility of the process was validated by the successful preparations of FG WC-Co via both carburization and decarburization process following conventional liquid phase sintering.  A study of the carburization process was undertaken to further understand and quantitatively modeled this process. The effects of key processing parameters (including heat treating temperature, atmosphere, and time) and key materials variables (involving Co content, WC grain size, and addition of grain growth inhibitors) on the formation of Co gradients were examined. Moreover, a carbon-diffusion controlled kinetic model was developed for simulating the formation of the gradient during the process. The parameters involved in this model were determined by thermodynamic calculations and regression-fit of simulation results with experimental data.  In summary, this research first demonstrated the principle of the approach. Second, a model was developed to predict the gradients produced by the carbon-controlled atmosphere heat treatment process, which is useful for manufacturing WC-Co with designed gradients. FG WC-Co materials produced using this method are expected to exhibit superior performance in many applications and to have a profound impact on the manufacturing industries that use tungsten carbide tools.

description: Since the Iranian revolution in 1979, Syria and Iran have maintained a strategic alliance. Syria supported Iran throughout the Iran-Iraq war and Iran has been one of  Syria's strongest supporters in the conflict with Israel. Throughout this period, the alliance has endured attempts by other Arab states, Israel, and the US to delink Syria from Iran. The purpose of this research is to examine the Syrian-Iranian alliance in an effort to understand its strength and the failure of efforts to draw Syria away from Iran. It explores the nature and strength of the alliance within a neorealist framework of alliance formation and continuation, emphasizing the complexity of the international system and the  importance of actors' perceptions of external and domestic threats. The study identifies several factors that played a role in the formation of the alliance and that have contributed to its continuation, and discusses each of them in detail. It also examines the specific efforts that have been made to delink Syria from Iran, and discusses why these efforts have been insufficient. This research concludes that the strength of their  relationship is largely the product of their dependence on one another to meet their security objectives, and demonstrates that even during times of economic weakness when defection seemed most likely, Syria was able to overlook its economic needs in order to  continue cooperating with Iran on security issues. This study also demonstrates that Syria's relationship with Iran and its links to Hezbollah and the Palestinian rejectionist groups are its primary bargaining tools in the conflict with Israel. Thus, it is unlikely that Syria will give up its relationship with Iran as a precondition to peace negotiations.

description: I tested a group of frames intended for a medical diagnosis system called Iliad.  This system is a microcomputer-based (Macintosh) medical expert system.  The Iliad system contains a knowledge base, data dictionary, application programs and recent medical literature.  Iliad is a Bayesian medical expert system.  The system performs two functions for medical students:  consultation and simulation.  Accuracy and reliability are major concerns for the development of a Bayesian expert system.  The sequential Bayesian model is based on an assumption of conditional data independence.  However, many disease findings are interrelated, and tend to co-occur.  Some of these co-occurring findings describe pathophysiological concepts, such as â€œlung consolidation.â€  To handle co-occurring findings, a new type of decision frames, called â€œclusters,â€ have been included in the Iliad system.  Clusters are rule-based decision frames which contain the conditional dependent findings.  Clusters are used as findings in Bayesian frames, and thereby reduce the overconfidence that would result from including the conditional dependent findings directly.  I hypothesized that the clusters would, in fact, significantly improve Iliadâ€™s diagnostic accuracy and reliability, compared to a non-clustered system.  I tested the hypothesis by measuring the reliability of pairs of clustered and non-clustered frames using real patient data.  The null hypothesis of my test assumed there was no difference between the clustered system of frames and the non-clustered system.  This hypothesis was tested under two conditions:  The first condition used estimated probabilities for the frames.  The second condition used actual probabilities measured from the data base. The test of both conditions allowed us to determine whether inaccurate statistical estimates might partly explain any unreliability or whether all unreliability was a result of conditional dependent findings.  The test frame reliability was developed by Hilden, et al.  According to my research, I found that the results generated by the clustered system were significantly more reliable than the results generated by the non-clustered system.  Expert probability estimates were found to be inaccurate compared to actual measurements from the patient data. However, this inaccuracy did not explain the unreliability I found.  This unreliability was due to conditional dependent findings.  Some clustered frames remained unreliable on initial testing.  When modified by re-clustering, these frames proved reliable.  Reliability testing could be used during the knowledge engineering process to validate prototype frames.
Quantifying the impact of interblock wire-delays on processor performance

description: As logic delays continue to decrease with smaller process technology, on-chip  wire delays are growing exponentially and are expected to increase cross-chip communication  latencies to tens of cycles. In this work, we quantify the performance  impact of wire-delays in three important contexts: (i) within an aggressive outof-  order (OoO) processor pipeline on a two-dimensional (2D) plane, (ii) within a  three-dimensional (3D) die-stacked processor and (iii) within coherence communication  paths of a chip multiprocessor.  We perform a detailed characterization of the loops in a super-scalar pipeline  and show that previous attempts to characterize the impact of wire-delays on  performance over-estimate the IPC degradation for some loops. We observe that  most loops tend to become less critical as more speculation and simple optimizations  are introduced, three-dimensional stacking allows dies to be bonded with each other  in the vertical dimension enabling further reduction in wire-length. We incorporate  the data from the criticality study into a floor-planner that leverages 3D to reduce  the lengths of the most critical interblock wires. The overall results argue against  leveraging 3D to improve single-core performance and shows that IPC-aware 2D  floor-plans perform within an acceptable range of 3D.  Coherence operations on multicore architectures necessitate frequent communication  over global on-chip wires. Different coherence messages may have varying  delay-tolerance levels. We quantify the sensitivity to wire delays for each type  of coherence message in an OoO multiprocessor model employing directory-based  cache coherence. We observe that OoO processors are able to hide latency in  coherence operations adequately and hence there is potential to save considerable  power over the interconnect by employing efficient power-optimization strategies.

description: The associated variety is a geometric invariant attached to each Harish-Chandra module of a real reductive Lie group. The associated cycle is a  ner invariant that gives additional algebraic data for each component of the associated variety. The main result of this thesis  is a set of formulas for associated cycles of a large class of Harish-Chandra modules for the real Lie group U(p; q). These formulas give the associated cycle polynomials for the coherent family containing a module X when elements of the dense orbit in the associated variety of X have a single nontrivial Jordan block or exactly two Jordan blocks.

description: Transgression credit (leniency towards transgressive ingroup leaders) was examined in different scenarios by focusing on the gender of the targets, gender of the evaluators, and levels of ingroup identification (university). Participants (N = 228, 68 male, 159 female) read a manipulation story where their or another university’s representatives offered a committee chair a bribe of a free vacation in a luxury hotel during a bid for funding for their school. Female participants evaluated transgressive behaviour less favourably than males. Transgression credit was not given for ingroup leaders. Gender of the transgressor did not affect evaluations for transgressive targets. There were no harsher judgements for transgressive female targets. All ingroup targets were evaluated equally harshly and were not given transgression credit. Judgments for transgression did not differ between ingroup and outgroup. These results were discussed in relation to subjective group dynamics theory and social role theory.

description: The possibility of forming water-in-oil-in-water (w/o/w) multiple emulsions stabilized solely by a mixture of organic pigment particles is demonstrated. The influence of shearing speed on both inner water drop and oil globule size is studied; both decrease with increasing shearing speed. We also investigate the effect of particle concentration for both pigments on the stability and drop size of w/o/w emulsions. The water drop and oil globule sizes decrease progressively once the particle concentration exceeds 0.5 wt%; this value corresponds to the minimum concentration required to form stable w/o/w emulsions. Finally, the release of magnesium ions from internal water drops to the external aqueous phase is studied. The release is very low over a period of one month.

description: The studies reported to date all attempted to document cost savings achieved through use of specific purchasing techniques or by restriction of high-dollar value drug products.  No study has attempted to measure the combined effects of formulary implementation and group purchasing affiliated, or attempted to measure cost savings for low-dollar value drug products.  The present study evaluated the effects of a closed formulary system and group purchasing on cost containment at Holy Cross Hospital, a 343 bed, private, non-profit community hospital located in Salt Lake City, Utah.  On March 12, 1979, a generic, closed formulary system was adopted by the hospital.  On April 11, 1979, the pharmacy and therapeutics committee approved affiliation, via the Utah Hospital Association, with the Intermountain Health Care Group Purchasing Program.  Contracts with this group purchasing system begin July 1 of each year.  The first objective of this study was to compare on a per dose or per gram basis the purchase costs of those drugs that remained on the formulary (formulary drugs), and those drugs that were removed from the hospital after implementation of the formulary (non-formulary drugs).  The second objective of this study was to measure, by use of price and value indexes, the combined effects of formulary implementation and group purchasing on purchase costs and purchase volume.  Four therapeutic categories were analyzed:  antihistamines and decongestants, antitussives, antacids, and topical corticosteroidal creams and ointments.

description: Purpose – This article aims to outline and analyze the role, structure and dominating content of professed organizational culture among the companies in the defense industry in Bulgaria as conscious and the official expression of their leadership intentions within the contemporary business environment, uniquely justifying the existence of each entity. Design/methodology/approach – A qualitative study is conducted, based on a literature review of academic publications in the sphere of professed organizational culture. Furthermore, the websites of the target companies were carefully examined in order to outline the practical approach to presenting the unique official culture of defense business organizations. Findings – An elaborate set of cultural attributes to be found on the second level in Edgar Schein’s model of organizational culture is identified. Based on literature review, the intersection between official corporate culture expressions and defense sector is outlined. Important nuances in the development of Bulgarian defense, technological and industrial base are described, encompassing the transition period to market economy and democratic political system. A survey of professed culture attributes is conducted among the members of Bulgarian defense, technological and industrial base. It is concluded that these companies prefer disclosing their official cultures in a very succinct way to utilizing the potential power and impact of the most popular firm documents in this field as mission and vision or relying on small number of their simpler building elements. Recommendations to senior managers of the Bulgarian defense companies regarding smart and intensive use of official culture elements are given. Research limitations/implications – The financial data for the surveyed companies is not accessible. Originality/value – A snapshot of preferred professed culture attributes among the members of Bulgarian defense, technological and industrial base is composed, implying their leadership strategic intentions. The second level in Edgar Schein’s model of organizational culture is populated with a set of cultural attributes.

description: In industriellen Prozessen (Industrie 4.0) und anderen Bereichen unseres Lebens wie dem Energie- oder Gesundheitssektor wird die Vertraulichkeit von Daten zunehmend wichtig. Um vertrauliche Informationen auf kritischen Systemen zu schützen, ist es wichtig zu bestimmen ob die Kompromittierung dieser kritischen Systeme möglich ist. Deshalb müssen relevante Angriffspfade in verschiedenen Zugriffskontrollkontexten gefunden werden, um verschiedene Softwarearchitekturen bezüglich dieses Sicherheitsaspekts zu vergleichen. Um Kosten zu sparen, ist es wichtig potentielle Angriffspfade bereits in der Entwurfsphase der Softwarearchitektur zu betrachten. Es gibt bereits Ansätze, die das Thema der Angriffspfadgenerierung adressieren. Allerdings betrachten sie es oft nicht auf einer Softwarearchitekturmodellierungsebene, was die Analyse für den Zweck der komponentenbasierten Softwaremodellierung erschwert. Des Weiteren, betrachten andere Ansätze oft nicht sowohl Verwundbarkeiten als auch Zugriffskontrollmechanismen. Deshalb stellt diese Arbeit einen Ansatz vor, um alle potentiellen Angriffspfade in einem Softwarearchitekturmodell bezüglich Verwundbarkeiten und Zugriffskontrolle zu finden. Das hilft Softwarearchitekten und Sicherheitsexperten relevante und kritische Angriffspfade zu einem kritischen Element leichter zu finden. Jedoch sind alle Angriffspfade oft zu viele, sodass der hier präsentierte Ansatz sinnvolle Filterkriterien einführt und verwendet, welche auf verbreiteten Verwundbarkeitsklassifikationsstandarts beruhen. Der Grund für diese Filter ist es, dem Softwarearchitekt zu ermöglichen, die resultierenden Angriffspfade auf die relevanten zu begrenzen. Die Evaluation der Arbeit deutete an, dass das verwendete Modell und der implementierte Ansatz in kleinen Szenarien, die aus Fallstudien aus der echten Welt extrahiert wurden, meistens angewendet werden kann. Außerdem deutete die Evaluation ebenfalls eine Aufwandsreduktion von 35 % bis zu 80 % für den Softwarearchitekt an. Allerdings konnte keine größere Skalierbarkeit des Ansatzes gezeigt werden, da ein exponentielles Laufzeitverhalten festgestellt wurde. Allerdings ist das Abmildern des Skalierbarkeitsproblem einer der Hauptgründe für das Verwenden der Filterkriterien.

description: Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria and are known to be a very important component of microbial ecology in aquatic environments. Bacteria are involved in removing organics, ammonia and phosphorus in activated sludge processes. Frequent upsets, however, were found in the activated sludge process such as nitrification failure and filamentous bulking, causing the deteriorated effluent quality. Those upsets are caused by either unwanted bacterial growth or the death of key bacteria in an activated sludge bioreactor. The prophage on the bacterial genome remains dormant, but can cause cell lysis under certain environmental conditions. The effect of various environmental stress factors was examined on the ammonia oxidation and prophage induction in a model ammonia oxidizing bacterium, Nitrosospira multiformis. The factors included in the study were pH, temperature, organic carbon, the presence of heavy metal and toxicity. The selected environmental factors are commonly encountered in wastewater treatment processes, where ammonia oxidizing bacteria play a pivotal role of converting ammonia into nitrite. All of the factors could induce prophage from N. multiformis, demonstrating that cell lysis due to prophage induction could be an important mechanism contributing to the frequent upset in ammonia oxidation efficiency in full-scale treatment plants. The lytic phage could be applied to control biomass bulking in the activated sludge process using model filamentous bacteria. The lytic phage especially infecting model iv filamentous bacteria was isolated from the mixed liquor of a wastewater treatment plant. Significant reduction of sludge volume index (SVI) was observed after the isolated phage addition. The phages were considerably stable after exposure to high temperature and pHs, emphasizing that phage can withstand the seasonal/operational fluctuations. The isolated phage showed no cross infectivity with other bacteria most commonly found in activated sludge systems, thus validating its suitability for biocontrol of filamentous bulking caused by filamentous bacteria. Following the application of bacteriophage-based biocontrol, successful reduction in SVI was achieved, indicating improved biomass settling. The phage application did not affect the nutrient removal efficiency of the biomass. The phage-based biocontrol, therefore, holds a great potentiality for large-scale applications as an economic agent in the mitigation of several water, wastewater and environmental problems.

description: This dissertation is composed of three essays in empirical market microstructure. My first two essays study market quality issues related to High-frequency Trading (HFT) using a dataset provided by NASDAQ that identifies the activity of high-frequency traders (HFTs). My first essay studies the systematic effects of HFT on market quality. I find only small effects of HFT participation on spreads and adverse selection costs, and I find evidence that HFT trades improve price efficiency. I also examine HFT trading strategies, and show that HFTs engage in successful intraday market timing. My second essay studies HFT in extreme market conditions, focusing on whether it has a stabilizing or destabilizing effect. I find that HFTs buy during mini-flash crashes, sell during price spikes, and provide more liquidity than they consume during both types of events. These results suggest HFTs play a stabilizing role during extreme return events, but their net trading volumes are low so these effects are probably small. I also examine returns around large HFT order imbalances, and find only economically small evidence of the price momentum that these imbalances have been hypothesized to cause. Finally, I study HFT activity around sustained market order flow imbalances, termed "toxic order flow" by Easley, Lopez de Prado, and O'Hara (2011), and find that HFT participation levels decrease as order flow toxicity increases. Overall, in my first two essays, I find evidence of beneficial and neutral roles played by HFTs, both in normal and extreme market conditions, but no significant evidence for any of the detrimental impacts they are thought to have. My third essay compares corporate bond trading costs in a market that provides pretrade transparency (the NYSE) with those in a market that is opaque (the OTC market). I find that trading costs are dramatically lower in the market with pretrade transparency, and that pretrade transparency is the most likely explanation for the difference. I also advance a likely explanation for the puzzle of why bond trading costs are lower for larger trades, and introduce a new statistical procedure for assessing trade signing errors in microstructure data with stale quotes.

description: This paper aims to investigate, for the first time, physicochemical characteristics and antioxidant capacity of Psidium myrtoides ripe and unripe fruit. In addition, essential oil was extracted from fresh leaves (PM-EO) collected in dry and rainy seasons to investigate the influence of seasonality and, after that, to evaluate its antifungal activity on mycelial growth of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. Both GC-FID and GC-MS analyses revealed that major components determined in PM-EO were β-caryophyllene (20.0% and 32.9%) and limonene (10.4% and 19.8%) in rainy and dry seasons, respectively. High antioxidant capacity was displayed by unripe fruit (IC50 = 3.57 mg/mL) and ripe ones (IC50 = 3.68 mg/mL). Both showed high total phenolic and tannin contents. In sum, PM-EO showed satisfactory antifungal activity, since its inhibitory action on mycelial growth of C. gloeosporioides was above 70% in the dry season, while it exhibited weak activity in the rainy season.

description: This study investigated a new approach to measure the quality of X-ray reports in radiology department and evaluate the performance of radiologists.  This approach involves the use of Medical Information System (MIS), expert system technology, information theory, and other techniques to generate relative measures of radiologists' performance.  Eight algorithms are: 1) Outcome Directed Information Current (Score 1); 2) Outcome Directed Probability Change (Score2); 3) Outcome Directed Weight Evidence (Score3); 4) Disease Specific Information Content (Score4); 5) Ranking of Information Content (RI); 6) Ranking of Absolute Value of Information Content (RI2); 7) Ranking Probability (RP); and 8) Ranking of Likelihood Ratio (RLL).  ANOVA analysis were used to identify the algorithms that can best distinguish the performance of radiologists The result of the ANOVA showed the Score1, Score2, and Score3 had more power to distinguish the performance of radiologists both for cases across different diseases and for cases with a particular disease such as chronic bronchitis and nonpulmonary disease.  However, they may not be a good measure in distinguishing radiologist performance for cases with disease such as congestive heart failure.  In addition RI2 seemed to be a relatively good measure for distinguishing the performance radiologists across pulmonary diseases.  No scoring algorithm was shown to be able to significantly distinguish radiologist performance for cases with congestive heart failure.  Discharge diagnoses of patients significantly influenced the performance of radiologists.  While one radiologist may do well in cases with some diseases, he or she may do poorly in cases with other diseases.  In addition, whether the performance of  radiologist can be significantly distinguished by a specific scoring algorithm was also influenced by the disease.  As a result, the evaluation of radiologist should be disease specific.  First of all, different scoring algorithms might be required to distinguish radiologist performance for different disease categories.  Furthermore, the performance of radiologist in reading X-ray reports for patients with one disease might be quite different from that in reading X-ray reports for patients with another disease.  Using average performance for different diseases might lead to confusing performance results.
Physiological response to plasma exchange in patients in burn shock

description: The physiological consequences of major thermal injury center around profound, life-threatening shock occurring in conjunction with the burn and consisting of two pathological syndromes: hypovolemic and cellular shock. Intravascular hypovolemia following major thermal injury results from increased capillary permeability with subsequent loss of intravascular fluid into the interstitium. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a therapeutic regime involving the removal of the circulating factors by performing plasma exchange. Fourteen adult patients with burns of 40% total body surface area (TBSA) served as subjects. Seven were randomly assigned to the control group which received standard burn shock resuscitation. Seven were randomly assigned to the treatment group which received the same resuscitation in combination with plasma exchange. The study period was the first 48 hours postburn with the plasma exchange procedures performed as soon as was clinically feasible. A total of 937 measurements of physiological variables were made on each patient. These included vital signs, cardiopulmonary parameters, respiratory status, and serum content analysis measured upon admission and every 4 hours thereafter during the study period. Hourly fluid intake and output records were compiled. Data were analyzed for statistical significance. The findings were as follows: the sample was unevenly distributed, with the treatment group more critically ill than the control on the basis of the variable or percent TBSA full-thickness injury (p < .01) and the incidence of documented inhalation injury. No significant difference was found between the groups on the variable of fluid requirement, either in subjects with or without associated inhalation injury. Plasma exchange significantly decreased platelet count (p < .05) in the treatment group when compared with the control but did not alter other serum chemistry values. The coagulopathy reported to occur in burn patients was not observed in this group of 14 subjects. The plasma exchange group was in significantly (p < .05) more normal base excess balance at both postburn hour 16 and 24 than the control. There was no evidence that plasma exchange performed during burn shock for the purpose of removing circulating factors was harmful in any way to the treatment subjects.
