Ionic liquids (ILs) are important solvents for sustainable processes and predicting activity coefficients (ACs) of solutes in ILs is needed. Recently, matrix completion methods (MCMs), transformers, graph neural networks (GNNs) have shown high accuracy ACs binary mixtures, superior to well-established models, e.g., COSMO-RS UNIFAC. GNNs particularly promising here as they learn a molecular grap...

The reflection coefficient of longitudinal 25-GHz phonons at a quartz-liquid 4He interface was measured for various phonon intensities. For thoroughly cleaned quartz surfaces a reflection coefficient of I independent of the incident intensity was found. When the sample was covered with a thin hydrocarbon film, however, the reflection coefficient dropped by typically 5-10% when the phonon intens...

protein hydro-lysate was prepared from gold striped sardine (sardinella gibossa) by papain. hydrolysis conditions (time, temperature, and enzyme activity) were optimized by response surface methodology (rsm) using a factorial design and anti-oxidative activity was the dependent variable. results of the total determination coefficient, adjusted r2 and predicted r2 indicating the validity of pred...

BACKGROUND When it comes to prevalidation, it is assumed that a higher preoperative level of physical activity leads to better postoperative recovery. However current literature is inconclusive about the effect of prevalidation on functional recovery of patients with primary osteoarthritis (OA) who underwent a THA or TKA. Therefore the aim of this study is to analyse one of the major assumption...

Free acidity of aqueous solutions was initially defined in 1909 by Søren Peter Lauritz Sørensen as pH = −lgcH+ (c/mol·dm−3 or m/mol·kg−1 of the free hydrogen ions in solution, H+) soon (1910) was changed to pH = paH+ = −lgaH+, integrating the new concepts of activity, ai and activity coefficient γi, for the ionic species i under concern, H+ in this case; it is ai = −lg(miγi). Since individual i...

| Objective: To empirically test the relationships proposed by the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) among its domains. Method: The cross-sectional study was completed with 226 adult patients with different health conditions who attended a Brazilian rehabilitation unit. The ICF components were measured with the following instruments: World Health Organizat...

BACKGROUND To investigate whether light exposure was associated with objectively measured physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour in young people. METHODS Participants (n=229, 46.7% female) were young people (mean 8.8 years [SD±2.2]) from the borough of Camden, UK. Daily sedentary time, moderate and vigorous PA (MVPA) and light exposure were measured using a tri-axial accelerometer wit...

Resting membrane potentials of rabbit right ventricular papillary muscles were measured in modified Tyrode's solutions that were isotonic (1.0 X T), hypertonic (1.58 X T), or hypotonic (0.76 X T) at eight different concentrations of external potassium, [K]o, ranging from 0.78 to 100 mM. The amount of hyperpolarization produced by exposure to the hypertonic solutions was relatively constant with...

the effect of four inhibitors on calmalulin (cum) were studied by a ftuorescence and ultraviolet techniques. four compounds in - ( 6 - aminohexyt) 5-chloro - i - napthalenesulphonamide] (w-7), 1 - [ bis - (4 - chtorophenyt) methyl] - 3 - [2, 4-dichloro - β - ( 2 , 4 - dichlorobenzyloxyl) phenethyt] imidazolium chloride (r24571), trifluoperazine (tfp) , thiodiphenylamide chloride (tdpac) showed ...

Introduction: Participating in regular physical activity has positive effects on the health and behavior of adolescents. Physical activity is multifaceted and has both interrelated psychological, biological and environmental effects. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the level of physical activity of female students and its relationship with their socioeconomic status. Methods...
