inulin is widely distributed throughout the plant kingdom. it has been increasingly used in various foods due to its beneficial nutritional attributes as prebiotic ingredient. the helianthus tuberosus could be a source of inulin, but scarce studies about its extraction exist. ultrasound has attracted considerable interest in food science and technology due to its promising effects in food proce...

background: the basal medium that supports isolated mouse oviduct (imo) is important for supporting embryo development and quality. methods: the culture of ovine ivm/ivf zygotes was done in imo using sofaacibsa and sofaabsa as basal medium of imo and in sofaabsa alone as control. for preparation of imo mature inbred strain c57bl/6 female mice were synchronized and mated with vasectomized males....

background: more and more infertile patients have accepted the assisted reproductive technique (art) therapy. concerns have been raised over an increased risk of adverse maternal outcomes in art populations as compared with natural conception (nc). objective: the aim was to improve the art in clinicial work and to reduce the incidence of pregnancy complications in art group according to analyzi...

sensitivity of an electromagnetic type metal detector is directly related to stability, the higher the required sensitivity, the more frequently the rebalancing controls will have to be adjusted. thus, for maximum sensitivity in the head ,the use of automatic drift compensation network is necessary in order to cancel out the signal resulting from a slow drift in the coil system due to the tempe...

segmental defects of the tibia are challenging therapeutic problems for both the physician and the patient. these defects may be caused by severe trauma, infection, tumors and congenital processes. several different techniques have been described for treatment of these defects including the papineau technique, allograft reconstruction, bone transport using the ilizarov frame, free vascularized ...

background and purpose: anxiety is a common problem associated with invasive medical procedures, especially in patients undergoing coronary angiography. as an intensifier at cardiovascular reactions, anxiety poses significant risk to the health of patients undergoing angiography. researchers believe that use of benson’s relaxation technique could reduce anxiety in different patients. this study...

in this paper a wavelet-based logo watermarking scheme is presented. the logo watermark is embedded into all sub-blocks of the lln sub-band of the transformed host image, using quantization technique. extracted logos from all sub-blocks are merged to make the extracted watermark from distorted watermarked image. knowing the quantization step-size, dimensions of logo and the level of wavelet tra...
