In recent years, ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) has attracted growing interest, as it is an effective method for the rapid extraction of a number of compounds from food and environmental samples, with extraction efficiency comparable to that of classical techniques. In particular, recently, numerous analytical applications of this technique dealt with the extraction of natural compounds a...

Introduction Medical Imaging techniques including CT, MRI, Micro-CT and micro-MRI have matured over the last years into affordable, practical and accessible observational tools to the Biomechanics community. These tools provide unique opportunities to expand the knowledge of the biomechanics of the human foot and ankle. The purpose of this presentation is to demonstrate the potential of these i...

In recent years, the micro seismic monitoring technology have the widespread application in Chinese reservoir geological activity monitoring and mine safety monitoring. The effect of micro seismic monitoring technology is very good. However, in the study of micro earthquake, Chinese research started late relatively with foreign. This paper summarizes the current Development status and the appli...

The current study was done to investigate the preclinical safety and toxicology of Althaea officinalis extract as naturopathic medicine in common carp (Cyprinus carpio). Specimens were treated with 0 (control), 2.5, 5 and 10 g of marshmallow extract for 45 days. Plasma biochemical parameters were measured after 15 and 45 days. Total protein, albumin and globulin levels (p < /em>>0.05). During t...

A mathematical model has been developed to describe and quantify the growth and invasion of gliomas (the most common type of primary brain tumors). The model has already been shown to agree well with in vivo imaging studies of gliomas. Here we demonstrate the model’s agreement with in vitro experimental data. The analysis provided in this article demonstrates that the model agrees well with pub...

Micro-blogging has become increasingly popular in recent years. Using micro-blogging in a large classroom could be beneficial for learning. However, sometimes addressing the large number of posts could be cumbersome to a reader who has only limited time in a classroom. We propose a novel solution for predicting the relevancy of a question asked in a class by looking at the questions asked in pr...

The MHC class I-related receptor, neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn), plays a central role in regulating the transport and in vivo persistence of immunoglobulin G (IgG). IgG-FcRn interactions can be targeted for engineering to modulate the in vivo longevity and transport of an antibody, and this has implications for the successful application of therapeutic IgGs. Although mice are widely used to precl...

This paper examines the impact of rolling out computerized systems within a micro organization focusing specifically on the impact of the roll out on customer relationships. The findings are based on a 2 year case study on one micro-organization (PA) based in the North East of England, examining the nature of the implementation and the additional factors that affected the outcome and eventual d...

Although there is increasing evidence that vitamins influence pancreatic adenocarcinoma biology and carcinogenesis, a comprehensive review is lacking. In this study, we performed a PubMed literature search to review the anticancer mechanisms and the preclinical and clinical studies that support the development of the bioactive vitamins A, C, D, E, and K in pancreatic cancer intervention. Precli...
