The random titration error has been evaluated by single linear regression analysis of both linear branches of titration curves. As a simplification the confidence interval of a titration is estimated by substituting divergent linear confidence limits for the curved confidence limits of both branches of the curve. The influence of the angle between both branches upon the confidence interval of a titration has also been evaluated. The procedure has been proved advantageous by applying it to several amperometric and photometric titrations of lead and by comparing the results with those obtained by the complementary approach of Liteanu and Cörmös, and by the usual statistical treatment of end-points obtained by graphical extrapolation. The method allows a critical consideration of the experimental conditions with regard to the desired level of precision.

The amount of colloidal calcium phosphate (CCP) complex associated with caseins (insoluble [INSOL] Ca) determines the body, texture, flavor, and breakdown of cheese constituents during aging. The continuous pH decline during cheesemaking because of lactic acid fermentation results in solubilization of INSOL Ca. Measuring INSOL Ca in such a dynamic and wide range pH system (6.

The current work presents comparative assessment of affinity of the designed DNA aptamers for extracellular domain of the human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR*). The affinity data of the 20 previously published aptamers are summarized. Diversity of the aptamer selection methods and techniques requires unification of the comparison algorithms, which is also necessary for designing aptamers used in the post-selection fitting to the target EGFR* protein.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the etiologic agent involved in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The development of infectious titration methods is crucial to provide data for a better understanding of transmission routes, as well as to validate the efficacy of inactivation treatments. Nevertheless, the low-throughput analytical capacity of traditional methods may be a limiting factor for a large screening of samples.

Background: In patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) under mechanical ventilation, the change in pressure slope during a low-flow insufflation indicates a global airway opening pressure (AOP) needed to reopen closed airways and may be used for titration of positive end-expiratory pressure.

Objectives: To understand 1) if airways open homogeneously inside the lungs or significant regional AOP variations exist; 2) whether the pattern of the pressure slope change during low-flow insufflation can indicate the presence of regional AOP variations.

Methods: Using electrical impedance tomography, we recorded low-flow insufflation maneuvers (< 10 L/min) starting from end-expiratory positive pressure 0-5 cmHO.

Objectives: To explore the relationship between the Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (OAAS) score and the bispectral index (BIS) during propofol titration for general anesthesia induction and analyze the impact of BIS monitoring delay on anesthetic depth assessment.

Methods: This study was conducted among 90 patients (ASA class I-II) undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia. For anesthesia induction, the patients received propofol titration at the rate of 0.
