Background: Phosphogypsum is material produced as a byproduct in fertilizer industry and generally used for building materials. This may contain enhanced radium-226 (226Ra) activity concentration compared to its natural that lead indoor radon accumulation. Therefore, an accurate measurement method proposed this study determine 226Ra phosphogypsum sample, considering the potential leakage from s...

AIMS To assess a panel of antibodies on Bouin's fixed bone marrow trephine (BMT) biopsies. These biopsies are widely used in routine diagnosis of various haematological malignancies and may be the sole material available in many centres; however, information regarding the immunostaining of this material is lacking. METHODS Biopsies were taken from 72 patients presenting with various haematolo...

We have developed a novel bio-tofu, made from mixed soy and cow milk (MSCM), using Lactobacillus helveticus MB2-1 and Lactobacillus plantarum B1-6 incorporated with microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) as coagulant. MTGase was added to improve the textural properties and suit for cooking. However, the effect of MTGase on the digestion of mixed-protein fermented by lactic acid bacteria was unclea...

Steganography is the art of secret communication between two parties that not only conceals the contents of a message, but also its existence. Steganalysis attempts to detect the existence of embedded data in a steganographically altered cover file. Many algorithms have been proposed, but so far each has had some weakness that has allowed its effects to be detected, usually through first or sec...

Two types of Triton X-100 extracted model of Paramecium caudatum were prepared and effects of the ionic compositions of the reactivating medium on the swimming behaviour of the extracted models were examined. Type I, prepared by the method of Naitoh and Keneko, did not change swimming direction depending on the concentrations of Mg2+ and K+ in the reactivating medium. Type II, prepared by a dif...
