OBJECTIVE To examine associations between amounts of fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs) in meconium and cognitive development in school-aged children exposed to alcohol and drugs in utero. STUDY DESIGN A secondary analysis of a prospective cohort of children, primarily African American and of low socioeconomic status, that was recruited at birth. FAEEs were quantified with gas chromatography via...

BACKGROUND The thermotolerant yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus shows promise as an industrial host for the biochemical production of fuels and chemicals. Wild-type strains are known to ferment high titers of ethanol and can effectively convert a wide range of C5, C6, and C12 sugars into the volatile short-chain ester ethyl acetate. Strain engineering, however, has been limited due to a lack of adv...

Viscum album L. is a hemiparasite and most often parasitic on deciduous trees, the chemical composition of semi-parasite plant can vary depending time harvest, type host tree. The object study was leaves mistletoe growing domestic apple tree, collected in vicinity city Stavropol, common pear, territory Belorechensky district Krasnodar Territory. aim comparative content phenolic compounds antiox...

Suspensions of clays in organic liquids change considerably in theological character from liquid to liquid or when additions of a second liquid are made; thus, for example when about 15 per cent. volume of ethyl alcohol was added to a dispersion of a sample of bentonite in water the specific viscosity and thixotropy (as measured 9 by rate of the sol-->gel transition) increased to a maximum in s...

This study shows the impact of three different commercial inactive yeast derivatives (IYDs) (Opti Less™, Noblesse™, Optimum White™, Lallemand, Canada and Oenolees MP™ Lafort, USA) during 6-month aging period on volatile profile, sensory attributes antiradical activity, including polyphenols total free sulfhydryl (-SH groups) content, Grašac wines made in sequential fermentation with native Hans...

INTRODUCTION Drug abuse is a social, moral, and penal problem in Poland since many years. Ethyl alcohol remains the prime cause of concern. The effect of narcotics (including alcohol) on trauma has been the object of investigations for years. STUDY OBJECTIVES 1) To determine the reliability of subjective assessment of sobriety of the patient by the physician. 2) To determine correlations betw...
