We report the results of a preliminary estimation of the stability of the dried extract from bark of Guazuma ulmifolia Lam. ("Mutamba"), with and without added colloidal silicon dioxide (CSD). The physical and chemical properties and the compatibility of CSD in the extract were evaluated for 21 days of storage under stress conditions of temperature (45 ± 2°C) and humidity (75 ± 5%). Thermogravi...

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) as lipid peroxidation marker and total antioxidant capacity(TAC) in saliva of smoker and non-smoker men. Materials & Methods: This case-control study was performed on 104 men including smoker (52) and non-smoker (52) men, referred to the Oral Medicine Department in Babol Faculty o...

Abstract The objective of the present study was to develop prediction equations for digestible energy (DE) and metabolizable (ME) in swine diets based on chemical compositions feces with no dietary information. A total 262 fecal samples obtained from growing pigs fed 27 4 experiments were used. mainly corn, soybean meal, other plant-originated feed ingredients. In digestibility experiments, uri...

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of marker density, level of heritability, number of QTLs, and size of training set on the genomic accuracy over three generations. Thereby, a trait was simulated with heritability of 0.10, 0.25 or 0.40. For each animal, a genome with 20 chromosomes, 1 Morgan each, was simulated. Different marker densities (2000, 4000 and 6000 markers) and 400 an...

The electrocardiogram (ECG also called EKG) trace expresses cardiac features that are unique to an individual. The ECG processing followed a logical series of experiments with quantifiable metrics. Data filters were designed based upon the observed noise sources. Fiducial points were identified on the filtered data and extracted digitally for each heartbeat. From the fiducial points, stable fea...

The main role of conservation planning is to design reserve networks to protect biodiversity in situ. Research within the field of conservation planning has focused on the development of theories and tools to design reserve networks that protect biodiversity in an efficient and representative manner. Whilst much progress has been made in this regard, there has been limited assessment of the sen...

In the background of carbon neutrality, emissions are basked in attention. As a significant source emissions, emission characteristics plant should be known. Particulate matter flue gas was collected Tongliao. The chemical components PM10 and PM2.5 were analyzed, profile established. results showed that mass fractions EC, Ca, Ca2+, S, Al, Si Fe higher particles than other components. marker tra...

Thioredoxin (Trx) is a redox-active protein that plays a key role in mitigating the effects of oxidative stress. The secretion of Trx on the plasma membrane has been suggested as a distinctive feature of inflammation. However, selective monitoring of membrane-associated Trx activity has proved challenging because of the ubiquity of Trx action in cells. Here, we report a Trx-specific probe that ...

We formalize the idea of probability distributions that lead to reliable predictions about some, but not all aspects of a domain. The resulting notion of ‘safety’ provides a fresh perspective on foundational issues in statistics, providing amiddle ground between imprecise probability andmultiple-priormodels on the one hand and strictly Bayesian approaches on the other. It also allows us to form...
