Objective: There is strong evidence that a high fat intake causes cholesterol increases in human body. We all know levels cardiovascular diseases. This study was aimed to investigate the content cheddar cheese which coagulated with Citrus reticulata Blanco crude flowers extracts (CFE) at four different concentrations (1, 2, 3 and 4%, v/v).

Abstract We introduce rational complexity , a new measure for binary sequences. The sequence s ∈ B ω is considered as expansion of real fraction $s \equiv {\sum }_{k\in \mathbb {N}}s_{k}2^{-k}\in [0,1] \subset {R}$ s ≡ ∑ k ∈</mml...

Extraction and analysis of labile compounds in complex sample matrices, such as plants, is often a big analytical challenge. In this work, the use of a "green and clean" pressurised hot water extraction (PHWE) approach performed in continuous flow mode is explored. Experimental data for extraction and degradation kinetics of selected compounds were utilised to develop a continuous flow extracti...

Osteoporosis is a widely spread disease with severe consequences for patients and high costs for health care systems. The disease is characterised by a loss of bone mass which induces a loss of mechanical performance and structural integrity. It was found that transverse trabeculae are thinned and perforated while vertical trabeculae stay intact. For understanding these phenomena and the mechan...

PURPOSE To demonstrate the effects of hypoxia on proliferation and differentiation of human limbal epithelial cells in vitro. METHODS Primary human limbal epithelial cells were harvested from the rim of donor corneas. Colony-forming efficiency (CFE) and cell proliferation were observed in standard (20% O(2)) or hypoxic (2% O(2)) culture conditions. Cell cycle, forward scatter (FSC) and side s...

O artigo tem por objetivo destacar possíveis convergências entre o princípio pluralista – “um instrumento hermenêutico de mediação teológica e analítica da realidade sociocultural religiosa”, que busca “dar visibilidade a experiências, grupos posicionamentos são gerados nos ‘entre-lugares’, bordas fronteiras das culturas esferas institucionalidades”, possibilitando novas divergências convergênc...

PURPOSE To report the efficacy of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells as a source of feeder cells for the cultivation of transplantable corneal epithelial cell sheets. METHODS Human mesenchymal stem cells (marrow adherent stem cells; MASCs) were cultured in alpha-modified Eagle's medium with 10% serum and were treated with mitomycin C. Expression of cytokines in MASCs was confirm...

Scotland’s Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) has attracted attention around the world. Its structuring around the notion of four capacities appears to be innovative and radical. The emphasis on active forms of learning and interdisciplinary learning appears to encapsulate pedagogical and curricular principles beloved of progressive educators. And its emphasis on engaging teachers as professional ...

Following political devolution in 1999, Scotland’s already distinctive education system has diverged further from the rest of the United Kingdom. A major trend has been a weakening of input regulation of the school curriculum. Scotland’s recently developed Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) has been predicated upon notions of curricular flexibility, local autonomy and school-based curriculum devel...
