Let F be a finite alphabet and D be a finite set of distributions over F . A Generalized Santha-Vazirani (GSV) source of type (F ,D), introduced by Beigi, Etesami and Gohari (ICALP 2015, SICOMP 2017), is a random sequence (F1, . . . , Fn) in Fn, where Fi is a sample from some distribution d ∈ D whose choice may depend on F1, . . . , Fi−1. We show that all GSV source types (F ,D) fall into one o...

Organohalogens, especially organochlorinated compounds (OCs) such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), have long been recognized as a potential threat to human health and, therefore, these compounds have been widely investigated in foods [3, 27], vegetation [9, 14], and the atmosphere [1, 11]. Recently, interest in using extractable organohalogens (EOX) as parameters for the quantification of t...

The classical Osborne wheat protein fractions (albumins, globulins, gliadins, and glutenins), as well as several proteins from each of the four subunits of gliadin using SDS-PAGE analyses, were determined in the grain of five bread (T. aestivum L.) and five durum wheat (T. durum Desf.) genotypes. In addition, content of tryptophan and wet gluten were analyzed. Gliadins and glutenins comprise fr...

Thyroxine, if not truly the active thyroid hormone ( 1, 2) is clearly the principal iodine-containing compound released by the thyroid gland, and ordinarily comprises the largest fraction of the plasma's protein-bound iodine (3-6). Many investigators have, therefore, attempted to assess thyroidal function by measuring the concentration of protein-bound I'll (PB1181) in the plasma following the ...

This study, through an incubation experiment, evaluates the effect that different biomass ashes exert on the extractability of nutrients and some chemical parameters and dehydrogenase activity of a slightly acid soil. Three types of as were selected: two new ashes generated by the dry combustion of olive cake or by gasification of greenhouse vegetable wastes, and a third produced by wood combus...

Abstract In the Mediterranea area, major effects of climate change are a modification in rainfall patterns, an increase temperature with intensify tropical nights, and incoming radiations, especially UV-Bs. Despite various adaptation strategies, grapevines sensitive to altered climatic conditions. This paper aims assess benefits applying new sustainable product soil that can implement farmers’ ...

In line with sustainable agriculture that depends on modern methods and new sources of non-traditional irrigation, a field experiment was conducted at privet farm behind Cairo-Alexandria Desert Road, Giza, Egypt during two seasons to evaluate five sugar beet varieties under water salinity stress condition. The present work included 15 treatments; represent varieties: viz. Multi-germs (Amina, Fa...

Conditional overexpression of four-repeat human tau containing the P301L missense mutation in the rTg4510 mouse model of tauopathy leads to progressive accumulation of neurofibrillary tangles and hyperphosphorylated, sarkosyl-insoluble tau species, which are biochemically comparable to abnormal tau characteristic of hereditary tauopathies termed FTDP-17. To fully understand the impact of tau sp...

Previous studies have been made of the pat terns of free or easily extractable ninhydrin-reactive constituents in a variety of animal tumors (7, 13-17). Although each normal tissue in a par ticular species has been found to have a distribu tion of these substances characteristic for that tissue, all of the tumors examined have shown a similar pattern. Relatively low levels of free or easily ext...

A new boiling system for the production of improved VHP sugar is proposed. This modified scheme requires only minor changes to pipe-work in the factory and it is estimated that steam consumption will only be increased marginally.
