Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to various diseases, but could be rectified via fortified food stuffs or supplementation. In this study 39 different hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents were evaluated for green extraction of ergosterol from mushroom. Extraction parameters (e.g. time, solvent volume) optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) and a maximum yield 6995.00 µg ergosterol/...

Title of Dissertation: ULTRA-FAST OPTICAL SIGNAL PROCESSING FOR DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS USING ALL-OPTICAL NONLINEAR INTERACTIONS IN SEMICONDUCTOR OPTICAL WAVEGUIDES Ehab S. Awad, Doctor of Philosophy, 2003 Dissertation directed by: Professor Julius Goldhar Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering In optical communications, clock recovery, optical time demultiplexing, and 3R regeneration...

in this paper, vector ultrametric spaces are introduced and a fixed point theorem is given forcorrespondences. our main result generalizes a known theorem in ordinary ultrametric spaces.

background the treatment of onychomycosis is a challenge and infections are typically more severe and difficult to treat in toenails than in fingernails. objectives the current study aimed to investigate the fungicidal effect of ultraviolet radiation on the growth of dermatophytes isolated from nails. patients and methods samples from patients with clinical manifestations of onychomycosis were ...

conclusions la increases the risk of cva and dementia. the la pathology is unknown. the epidemiological studies revealed the age, diabetes, smoking and atherosclerosis are related with la. our findings showed that cimt as an atherosclerosis marker was higher in la patients than control group. results totally 200 patients were studied, 102 in normal group and 98 in ila group. the mean age of pat...

Present guidelines endorse complete removal of cardiovascular-implantable electronic devices (pacemakers/defibrillators), including extraction intracardiac electrodes, not only for systemic infections but also localized “pocket infections.” We evaluated the efficacy delivering “Continuous, In-situ-Targeted, ultra-high concentration Antibiotics” (CITA) into infected subcutaneous device-pocket, o...

Microwave-assisted extraction was applied to extract rutin; quercetin; genistein; kaempferol; and isorhamnetin from Flos Sophorae Immaturus. Six independent variables; namely; solvent type; particle size; extraction frequency; liquid-to-solid ratio; microwave power; and extraction time were examined. Response surface methodology using a central composite design was employed to optimize experime...
