The effects of replacing pork meat with yellow mealworms on the physicochemical properties and sensory characteristics of frankfurters were investigated in this study. The control (50% pork ham), T1 (45% pork ham + 5% yellow mealworm), T2 (40% pork ham + 10% yellow mealworm), T3 (35% pork ham + 15% yellow mealworm), T4 (30% pork ham + 20% yellow mealworm), T5 (25% pork ham + 25% yellow mealworm...

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is characterized by the deposition of amyloid aggregates in the walls of the cerebral vasculature. Recently, the development of molecular imaging probes targeting CAA has been attracting much attention. We previously reported the 99mTc-hydroxamamide (99mTc-Ham) complex with a bivalent benzothiazole scaffold as a binding moiety for amyloid aggregates ([99mTc]BT2...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of bridging with isometric hip abduction (IHA) using the Thera-Band on gluteus maximus (GM), hamstring (HAM), and erector spinae (ES) muscle activity; GM/HAM and GM/ES ratios; and the anterior pelvic tilt angle in healthy subjects. Twenty-one subjects participated in this study. Surface EMG was used to collect EMG data of GM, HAM, and ES ...

Embryo development depends on maternal and embryonic factors. When occurs in vitro, embryos secrete factors that stimulate their development. The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible effects of embryos at morula stage on mouse embryo development in vitro. To obtain conditioned media (CM), morulas were cultured in groups of 5 (CM5) or 10 (CM10) in microdrops of Ham-F10 culture m...

This study was undertaken to examine the surface expression and regulation of CD14 on human alveolar macrophages (HAM). HAM obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage were cultured with or without LPS and with or without fetal bovine serum (FBS) on plastic or Teflon surfaces. CD14 expression was assessed by immunofluorescence. The roles of protein tyrosine kinase, protein kinase A, and protein kinase C...

In this paper a spam filtering method is proposed. We focus on user behavior that most email users browse the Web. The method reduces troublesome maintenance of the spam filter, since the filter learns from Web browsing behavior in the background. The method uses Web browsing behavior of each user to learn ham words. Ham words are picked up from browsed Web pages using TF-IDF and stored in the ...

The epidemiology of tropical spastic paraparesis/human T lymphotropic virus I (HTLV-I)-associated myelopathy (TSP/HAM) is frequently inconsistent and suggests environmental factors in the etiology of these syndromes. The neuropathology corresponds to a toxometabolic or autoimmune process and possibly not to a viral disease. Some logical hypotheses about the etiology and physiopathology of TSP a...

Intrathecal synthesis of human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) antibodies (Abs) represents conclusive evidence of a specific immune response in the central nervous system of HTLV-1 associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) patients. Western blotting (WB) for HTLV Abs in serum is a confirmatory test for HTLV-1 infection. The aim of this study was to standardise the Wester...

which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Objective(s): HTLV-I-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) is the most common neurological manifestation of HTLV-I. The northeast of Iran is an endem-ic area for this virus. Host genetic and viral factors play important roles in developing HAM/TSP. T...

Iberian ham presents superior sensorial quality than other ones. Currently, chemical procedures are being used to determine fat level of the ham, but they can not give any information about its distribution. Some research made on Iberian hams from pigs with different feeding reveal similar fat level, but pigs fed on acorns and grass reached better qualifications in a sensorial analysis of the s...
