The aim of this study was to investigate changes in the microbiological and physiochemical characteristics in Egyptian salted-fermented fish (Feseikh) during processing, ripening and storage. Isolation of total viable bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae, lipolytic bacteria, proteolytic bacteria, total spore forming bacteria (CFU/g) and Clostridium perfringens (MPN) from fish flesh, fish intestine and ...

The tracheae of ferrets and rabbits were mounted in vitro in organ baths. While the tracheae were liquid filled, the permeability coefficient ( P) was determined, and then while the tracheae were air filled, the percent clearance for 99mTc-labeled diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) was determined. The thickness of airway surface liquid (ASL) was estimated by three methods. 1) The initial...

Executable code existed centuries before the invention of the computer in magic, Kabbalah, musical composition and experimental poetry. These practices are often neglected as a historical pretext of contemporary software culture and electronic arts. Above all, they link computations to a vast speculative imagination that encompasses art, language, technology, philosophy and religion. These spec...

The pathogenesis of histamine-induced coronary spasm was examined angiographically and morphometrically in Göttingen miniature pigs. In five of 36 consecutive pigs that were 4 to 5 months of age, coronary spasm was provoked by the intracoronary administration of histamine, and the left coronary arteries were examined histologically without endothelial denudation (group 1). Endothelial balloon d...

the study was consequently investigated effect of different tanning methods on apparent density, thickness, tensile strength and also extension percentage in three different tanning (chromic, alum and vegetable) of grown part of ostrich skins (n = 15; 12 to 14 months). average apparent density and thickness of leathers were 0.7 ± 0.0gr/cm2 and 1.7 ± 0.1 mm, respectively. the breaking load, tens...

Prosthetics soft tissue trauma is attacked with a combination of theoretical and experimental tools . A novel socket design results, accentuating flesh stress relief at the socket brim . Currently, the novel socket has been fitted to two subjects with long histories of stump trauma ; field test results are not yet available.

legumes are rich sources of protein and consider a good alternative to make a protein films. in this study, central composite design to investigate the simultaneously effect of the grasspea protein isolates (2 - 10 percent), glycerol (0.5 - 7%) and oleic acid (0 - 2%) on properties of edible films made from grasspea protein isolates, such as thickness, density, percentage of solubility in water...

The effect of screen time during secondary school on percent body fat was examined in a cohort of 744 Canadian adolescents aged 12-13 years at baseline. Participants completed self-reported questionnaires on television viewing and computer use in 19 survey cycles over 57 months from 1999 to 2005. Triceps skinfold thickness and subscapular skinfold thickness were measured in survey cycles 1 and ...
