The objective of the study was to analyze the consumption of dairy products and dietary calcium by women in the context of bone mineral density and to assess opportunities to prevent osteoporosis in a dietary manner. The study was carried out with 712 Polish women. In 170 women aged 32 to 59 bone mineral density (BMD) was measured. The data on the consumption of dairy products and dietary calci...

Although multivitamins, multiminerals, and similar terms (eg, multis or multiples) are commonly used, they have no standard scientific, regulatory, or marketplace definitions. Thus, multivitamins-multiminerals refers to products with widely varied compositions and characteristics. Multivitamin-multimineral composition databases use label values as surrogates for analyzed values. However, actual...

The studies focused on the effect of the addition of low concentrations of glucose - a substrate that is readily subject to microbiological degradation, on the rate of biodegradation of petroleum products. Glucose in concentration 1% was introduced into mineral medium containing 3% crude oil, with or without bacterial inoculum. The rate of degradation of crude oil in the individual cultures was...

To increase the phosphorus recycling potential from swine slurry, mineral phosphorus products which could be used as fertilizers should be obtained and new processes need to be investigated. A routine method is needed to better evaluate the dissolved and solid mineral phosphorus in swine slurry. Cold perchloric acid extraction method previously developed for wastewater or sludge analysis was ad...

We present a comprehensive review of the applications of biosynthesized metallic nanoparticles (NPs). The biosynthesis of metallic NPs is the subject of a number of recent reviews, which focus on the various "bottom-up" biofabrication methods and characterization of the final products. Numerous applications exploit the advantages of biosynthesis over chemical or physical NP syntheses, including...

In India, Ayurveda, Siddha and Unani (ASU) systems of medicine are considered to be the oldest system of medicines. They prescribe drugs of herbal, mineral, metallic and animal origin for the treatment of many diseases. Being time tested systems of medicine and majority of the drugs used by them are of herbal origin these systems are considered to be safe. The use of ASU medicines continues to ...

OBJECTIVE To characterize the hydration products of white mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). METHODOLOGY Mineral trioxide aggregate, white Portland cement and bismuth oxide were evaluated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and Rietveld XRD. The cements were tested un-hydrated and after hydration and curing for 30 days at 37 degrees C. Analysis of hydrated cement leachate was performed week...

the existence of ra 226 is proved and measured by radiom emanation-method in waters and food products of north , north west and north – east of iran. a total of 126 water, 249 food and 22 air samples have been examined. the concertration of ra 226 in waters found to be 0.01 to 1.104 pci/1 and in food products from 0.01 to pci/gr. ash.the amount found in due ranges from 0.003 to 0.227 pci/m 3.it...

Aluminium additions to metallic coatings on steel substrates have been accepted as a successful solution versus the standard zinc based coatings. The development of these products responds to the market’s demand of more versatile products, which faces the leaching effect of zinc and the rising cost of obtaining this element, among the main advantages. However, these materials show a special sen...

CaIrO3-type MgSiO3 is the planet-forming silicate stable at pressures and temperatures beyond those of Earth's core-mantle boundary. First-principles quasiharmonic free-energy computations show that this mineral should dissociate into CsCl-type MgO cotunnite-type SiO2 at pressures and temperatures expected to occur in the cores of the gas giants + and in terrestrial exoplanets. At approximately...
