Delgado-Andrade C., Rufián-Henares J. A., Morales F. J. (2008): Optimised procedure to analyse Maillard reaction-associated fluorescence in cereal-based products. Czech J. Food Sci., 26: 339–346. Fluorescent Maillard compounds measurement provides more specific information on the extent of the Maillard reaction than other unspecific tools to monitor the reaction, and is suitable, as the first a...

Previous studies investigated the distinct roles played by different cognitive regions and suggested that the patterns of connectivity of these regions are associated with working memory (WM). However, the specific causal mechanism through which the neuronal circuits that involve these brain regions contribute to WM is still unclear. Here, in a large sample of healthy young adults, we first ide...

This paper presents an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) model for fractal image compression. One of the image compression techniques in the spatial domain is Fractal Image Compression (FIC) but the main drawback of FIC using traditional exhaustive search is that it involves more computational time due to global search. In order to improve the computational time and compression rati...

FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) based accelerators are attracting significant interest in cloud computing systems. Combining multi-FPGA systems with brings a new perspective to the reconfigurable research. However, multi-tenancy of system has not been fully discussed previous researches. In this paper, we propose multi-tenant resource management system, named FiC-RM, for system. FiC-RM pro...

This study aims to investigate the positioning accuracy and effectiveness of the loss of resistance technique (LOR) in fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB). A total of 175 patients prepared for hip surgery were enrolled; the injection needle was inserted at the centrolateral one-third point of the junction of the anterosuperior iliac spine and external pubic angle, 2 cm parallel to the tail e...

The galls of Quercus infectoria Olivier possess astringent properties which helps in the tightening of the vaginal epithelium in the post-natal period. The present study aimed to observe the time-kill kinetics of the acetone and methanol extracts of gall of Q. infectoria in combination with vancomycin against two methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains; ATCC 33591 and MU 9495...

AMPylation is a novel post-translational modification (PTM) involving covalent attachment of an AMP moiety to threonine/tyrosine side chains of a protein. AMPylating enzymes belonging to three different families, namely Fic/Doc, GS-ATase and DrrA have been experimentally characterized. Involvement of these novel enzymes in a myriad of biological processes makes them interesting candidates for g...

This report presents an approach to costing the delivery of a malaria vaccine through the expanded program on immunization (EPI), and presents the predicted cost per dose delivered and cost per fully immunized child (FIC) in Tanzania, which are key inputs to the cost-effectiveness analysis. The costs included in the analysis are those related to the purchase of the vaccine taking into account t...

Traditional knowledge of medicinal plant use in Jordan is poorly described. During the last years, many phytochemists and botanists from have conducted qualitative quantitative several studies, to gather information local people different rural regions where herbal medicine flourishes. To assess effectiveness specific plants used treatment certain diseases, ethnopharmacological studies were car...
