ABSTRACT: Acrylamide is a chemical compound that has been widely used since the last century for various applications. It is also formed from carbohydrate and amino acid containing foods by application of heat particularly in fried potato products, coffee and bread. Since bread is one of the primary foods of Iranian people, the determination of acrylamide content in bread might be considered im...

OBJECTIVE The public generally assumes that the minimum legal drinking age of 21 (MLDA-21) legislation in the United States is embodied in a single law and therefore all states have the same law. Actually, the MLDA-21 state laws consist of multiple provisions that support the core MLDA-21 laws and include a family of policies directed at controlling underage drinking and underage drinking and d...

customer satisfaction level depends on level that his expectations would be answered. with identifying customer expectations and implementation them in qfd, this ensures that important and critical demands of customer have been considered. qfd have been used and use for translating customer expectations to different subjects. what has been considered in this study, is qfd usage for translating ...

OBJECTIVE Tissue kallikrein (TK) participates in acute flow-induced dilatation (FID) of large arteries. We investigated whether TK deficiency blunts FID and alters chronic flow-related arterial structural and functional changes in resistance-sized muscular arteries. METHODS AND RESULTS Vasomotor responses and structural parameters were determined in uterine arteries isolated from nonpregnant,...

Around 15% of the world's population lives with some form functional and/or intellectual disability (FID). Nursing staff often face threats and violence in care patients FID. This study aimed to illuminate registered nurses’ experiences challenging situations their psychosocial working environment home disabilities. Nine nurses/district nurses municipal settings were interviewed using a qualita...

Flight initiation distance (FID) is the distance between a potential threat and the point at which a potential prey flees. Animals may modify their FID to compensate for increased risk generated by external/extrinsic factors such as habitat type, visibility, group size, time of year, predatorapproach velocity, and distance to burrow, as well as internal/intrinsic factors such as physical condit...

This paper describes two SlipChip-based approaches to protein crystallization: a SlipChip-based free interface diffusion (FID) method and a SlipChip-based composite method that simultaneously performs microbatch and FID crystallization methods in a single device. The FID SlipChip was designed to screen multiple reagents, each at multiple diffusion equilibration times, and was validated by scree...
