Reduced-fat foods have become more popular due to their health benefits; however, reducing the fat content of food affects sensory experience. Therefore, it is necessary improve acceptance reduced-fat that full-fat equivalents. The aim this study was evaluate effect adding whey protein microgels (WPM) with an average diameter 4 ?m, or WPM adsorbed anthocyanins [WPM (Ant)] on textural and proper...

Stem cells isolated from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs) are multipotent mesenchymal stem cells that are isolated from dental pulp tissues. These cells have a high proliferative capacity, multipotential ability, immunomodulatory function, and minimal risk of oncogenesis. Recent studies have shown that SHEDs are a feasible cell source for cell therapy and regenerative medicine.

Replication factor C (RFC) is a five-subunit DNA polymerase accessory protein that functions as a structure-specific, DNA-dependent ATPase. The ATPase function of RFC is activated by proliferating cell nuclear antigen. RFC was originally purified from human cells on the basis of its requirement for simian virus 40 DNA replication in vitro. A functionally homologous protein complex from Saccharo...

PURPOSE The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of genetic variations and the expression of the reduced folate carrier (RFC) and dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) on the drug sensitivity to methotrexate (MTX) in different cancer cell lines. MATERIALS AND METHODS We examined the six human cancer cell lines (MCF-7, AGS, A549, NCI-H23, HCT-116 and Saos-2). The cytotoxicity of MTX was mea...

in the current work, graphene oxide (go) samples were prepared at room temperature from graphite flakes using a modified hummer's method to produce metal-free electrocatalysts. the effect of the duration of the oxidation process on the structural, chemical and physical characteristics of the go samples was evaluated using x-ray diffraction (xrd), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir), ...

a synthesis of doped ceria by combustion method is performed. two types of fuel such asurea and glycine is used to investigate the effect of fuel reactivity and reaction rate on themorphology of the resulted powders. thermo gravimetric analysis is carried out by (tg/dta,rigaku thermalplus tg 8120) to study the exo–endo temperature of as-received powder. thecrystalline phases are identified by x...

We develop a model for a regenerative hydrogen-chlorine fuel cell (rHCFC) including four voltage loss mechanisms: hydrogen electrode activation, chlorine electrode activation, chlorine electrode mass transport, and ohmic loss through the membrane. The dependences of each of these losses as a function of two “operating parameters,” acid concentration and temperature; and five “engineering parame...

We develop a performance model for a polymer electrolyte membrane based regenerative hydrogen-bromine fuel cell (rHBFC). The model includes four voltage loss mechanisms: ohmic loss through the membrane, hydrogen electrode activation, bromine electrode activation, and bromine electrode mass transport. We explore a large parameter space by looking at the dependences of each of these losses as a f...

In this paper, a non-isothermal two-phase flow in the cathode gas diffusion layer (GDL) of PEM fuel cell is modeled. The governing equations including energy, mass and momentum conservation equations are solved by numerical methods. Also, the optimal values of the effective parameters such as the electrodes porosity, gas diffusion layer (GDL) thickness and inlet relative humidity are calculated...
