Background
One of the concerns of allergen‐specific immunotherapy is the possible boost of inflammatory allergen‐specific T lymphocytes. To address this problem, treatment with B cell epitopes devoid of allergen‐specific T cell epitopes would be a promising alternative.
Objective
In this study, we examined the therapeutic potency of a single mimotope, mimicking a structural IgE epitope...
DSC and CL measurements are shown to be potential tools for monitoring functional antioxidant activity in LDPE cable insulation. Data from the two procedures are consistent for unaged polyethylene samples. The results suggest that either method could be used to determine quantitatively the amount of functioning AD in the dielectric if it has no aging history.
For many situations, good estimates of the expected life of long-life materials, parts, or systems are essential. Practical considerations related to replacement costs, repair costs, maintenance costs, spare parts inventories, warranties, insurance, and safety all require good estimates of expected life. Unfortunately, such estimates are difficult to obtain. This is especially true for new systems...
Successful application of polyolefins as insulating materials for solid dielectric cable depends on their long-term stability against oxidation and electrochemical degradation. The usual method of stabilization is the addition of small quantities of antioxidants (AO), which act as radical scavengers in the oxidation process. The effectiveness of antioxidants depends not only on its capability for...
Electrical termination is a critical issue in a large-scale accelerated-testing program with model extruded cables because economic forces dictate that the termination be low in cost and easily assembled. The termination must also be at least equal to the cable insulation in resisting the high stresses of accelerated testing. Achieving this result is difficult since the testing program included the...
The achievement of an accelerated laboratory test capable of predicting the useful service life of products has been an elusive goal for most manufactures. This state of affairs applies to solid dielectric cables functioning in complex environments. The community of interests concerned with electrical power transmission and distribution has long been aware of the lack of a suitable test. It has devised...
