The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of sodium lauryl sulfate-fumaric acid coupled addition on in vitro methangenesis and rumen fermentation. Evaluation was carried out using in vitro gas production technique. Ruminal contents were collected from five steers immediately after slaughtering and used for preparation of inoculums of mixed rumen microorganisms. Rumen fluid was the...

Flurbiprofen (FP) is a phenyl alkanoic acid derivative and a family of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug used in the treatment of arthritis. The aim of this study was to prepare a new parenteral formulation for FP that can prolong the biologic half-life of the drug, improve its therapeutic efficacy, and reduce its associated side effects targeting the inflammation due to arthritis. PEG-ancho...

The Selective Laser Sintering Process of thermoplastics (SLS) enables the manufacturing of components with complex shape in a short time period without the manufacturing of a specific mold. However, this manufacturing process is limited by the restricted range of materials. In contrast to this primary shaping process, vacuum casting allows a quick, inexpensive and highly accurate process but it...

Structured Light Systems (SLS) are widely used for various purposes. Recently, a strong demand to apply SLS to underwater applications has emerged. When SLS is used in an air medium, the stereo correspondence problem can be solved efficiently by epipolar geometry due to the co-planarity of the 3D point and its corresponding 2D points on camera/projector planes. However, in underwater environmen...

Efavirenz, a widely prescribed anti retroviral drug belongs to class IΙ under BCS and exhibit low and variable oral bioavailability due to its poor aqueous solubility. Its oral absorption is dissolution rate limited and it requires enhancement in the solubility and dissolution rate for increasing its oral bioavailability. The objective of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of formulating ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of the use of a bedside-placed spring-loaded silo (SLS) on practice patterns and on outcomes for infants with gastroschisis. DESIGN Retrospective review comparing neonates with gastroschisis treated before and after the implementation of selective SLS placement. SETTING Tertiary referral center. PATIENTS Of 91 consecutive neonates admitted for initial trea...

BACKGROUND Hardening phenomenon of human skin after repeated exposure to the irritants is well-known, but the precise mechanism remains elusive. OBJECTIVE To modify the previous experimental model of hardening phenomenon by repeated applications of two different concentrations of sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) solutions to Korean healthy volunteers and to investigate the quantitative changes of ...

Streptococcus iniae causes meningoencephalitis and death in cultured fish species and soft-tissue infection in humans. We recently reported that S. iniae is responsible for local tissue necrosis and bacteremia in a murine subcutaneous infection model. The ability to cause bacteremia in this model is associated with a genetic profile unique to strains responsible for disease in fish and humans (...

Stochastic local search (SLS) algorithms have recently been proven to be among the best approaches to solving computationally hard problems. SLS algorithms typically have a number of parameters, optimized empirically, that characterize and determine their performance. In this article, we focus on the noise parameter. The theoretical foundation of SLS, including an understanding of how to the op...

Strigolactones (SLs) are important new plant hormones that receive much attention in current plant science. SLs are produced by many plants and are exuded by the root system. SLs are, amongst others, germination stimulants for seed of parasitic weeds. Naturally occurring SLs invariably contain three annelated rings, the ABC-scaffold, connected to a butenolide (the D-ring) via an enol ether unit...
