tamarindus indica is used as a traditional treatment for diabetes. to elucidate whether tamarindus indica seed aqueous extract (tse) ameliorates metabolic syndrome in hyperinsulinemic rats, we evaluated serum insulin, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (dheas), triglyceride (tg), total cholesterol (tc), very low density lipoprotein (vldl), low density lipoprotein (ldl), high density lipoprotein (hd...

In this work, we investigated whether activity routines of stroke rehabilitation patients can be discovered from bodyworn motion sensor data and without data annotation using topic modeling. Information about the activity routines performed by stroke patients during daily life could add valuable information to personal therapy goals. As topic model input, we used a set of activity primitives de...

holistic educational approach was an educational movement which appeared in the domain of education in the mid- 1980s in north america. in fact it was a result of mental and cultural anxiety during the 60th and 70th centuries and was a reaction to the educational mainstream of the world. holistic educational approach is essentially an educational paradigm that tries to join educational theories...

ABSTRACT: Fermented cucumber is a traditional lactic acid fermentation that is related to the presence of microorganisms. In this study, the use of suitable L. plantarum starter culture with L.bulgaricus and S. thermophilus to improve the cucumber fermentation process with high quality has been studied. Cucumbers in brine containing 4 to 6% NaCl and 0.2 to 0.4% Inulin (w/v) were inoculated with...

background: we have previously reported multiple health benefits in individuals following the christian-based fasting protocol known as the daniel fast (df). however, our prior work has involved only short-term (21-day) assessments. for dietary modification to have a profound impact on health, compliance to the dietary plan must be established for the long-term. materials and methods we determi...

Recently, economic and environmental problems have created a strong attitude toward utilizing renewable energy sources (RESs). Nevertheless, uncertainty of wind and solar power leads to a more complicated energy management (EM) of RESs in microgrids. This paper models and solves the EM problem of microgrid from the generation point of view. To do this, mathematical formulation of a grid- connec...

because every day production of refuse material is increasing, interest in the development of biogas units in many countries, both as traditional and industrial plants, has been increased. about 74 million tons of methane gas is produced from cattle dung and 40 million tons is produced only from urban solid wastes in the world annually .this would influence the greenhouse effect india and china...

lighvan cheese is one of the most popular iranian cheeses that always faces to microbial problems due to traditional ways of production. in this study the effect of two types of low density polyethylene-nanocamposite films contains of ag, cuo and zno nanoparticles with different percentage increasing the shelf-life of chesse in 4̊c was investigated. microbial tests of the packed cheeses were don...
