The nutritional values of the three Caspian Sea macroalgae species, Cladophora glomerata, Enteromorpha intestinalis and Laurencia caspica were evaluated based on proximate and fatty acid composition. The investigated species demonstrated low lipid composition (0.20±0.03- 1.62±0.26 % DW) and high carbohydrate (21.70±0.17-26.1±1.27%DW) and protein contents (13.34±2.41-28.08±0.51%DW). The as...

One of the important issues in nanomagnetism is to lower the current needed for a technologically useful domain wall (DW) propagation speed. Based on the modified LandauLifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation with both Slonczewski spin-transfer torque and the field-like torque, we derive an optimal temporally and spatially varying spin current pattern for fast DW propagation along nanowires. Under such...

Nowadays, Data Warehouse (DW) plays a crucial role in the process of decision making. However, their design remains a very delicate and difficult task either for expert or users. The goal of this paper is to propose a new approach based on the clover model, destined to assist users to design a DW. The proposed approach is based on two main steps. The first one aims to guide users in their choic...

Figure 2: Tractography of the corticospinal tract (CST) for SE and SSFP with identical thresholding (1000 fibers). Tracts reach the cortex more reliably in SSFP, whereas the SE tracts end where the CST crosses the superior longitudinal facsciculus (SLF) and CC.

Introduction: It was recently shown that a diffusion weighted Single-shot Stimulated Echo Acquisition Mode (DW ss-STEAM) pulse sequence is an alternative to the standard DW EPI at high fields [1-3]. By designing variable flip angles (vFA) for centric k-space acquisition without RF spoiling, more signal is utilised than usual. The iterative vFA-algorithm is based on the Extended Phase Graph form...

During aging, chronic systemic inflammation increases in prevalence and antioxidant balance shifts in favor of oxidant generation. Avenanthramide (AVA) is a group of oat phenolics that have shown anti-inflammatory and antioxidant capability. The present study investigated whether dietary supplementation of avenanthramides (AVA) in oats would increase antioxidant protection and reduce inflammati...

The effects of rice bran extract (RBE) on browning in potato, banana and apple slices compared with distilled water (DW) were investigated by measuring the changes of color values. Potato slice treated with RBE had lower browning value than that treated with DW during storage 9 to 12 hrs (p≤0.05). The browning values of potato treated with RBE and DW stored for 12 hrs were 4.72 and 7.64, respec...

The dynamics of magnetic domain wall (DW) in perpendicular magnetic anisotropy Pt/[CoSiB/Pt]N nanowires was studied by measuring the DW velocity under a magnetic field (H) and an electric current (J) in two extreme regimes of DW creep and flow. Two important findings are addressed. One is that the field-driven DW velocity increases with increasing N in the flow regime, whereas the trend is inve...

A Data Warehouse (DW) can be abstractly seen as a set of materialized views de ned over a set of remote data sources. A DW is intended to satisfy a set of queries. The views materialized in a DW relate to each other in a complex manner, through common subexpressions, in order to guarantee high query performance and low view maintenance cost. DWs are time varying. As time passes new materialized...
