preparations of platelet concentrates (pcs) that are stored under blood bank conditions and used for transfusion purposes, appear to be enriched in platelet derived-microparticles (pmps) with high coagulant activity that may change platelet efficacy and safety issues. high shear stress could cause shedding of pmps from the platelet plasma membrane, platelet aggregation, and activation of the co...

exposure to cold work environment is an occupational health hazard and poses adverse effect on workers health, performance and productivity. this study was performed in a cold food-storage warehouse complex in tehran-iran in order to evaluate the workers' exposure to cold stress. twenty nine exposed workers and 33 non-exposed workers as control subject were included in this study. climatic fact...

the synthetic seed technology is becoming popular due to its wide application in germplasm conservation and for exchanges between countries in the floriculture trade. in this study, this method was used to study the germination and conversion capabilities of orchid species dendrobium white fairy when stored at different storage times and with different storage containers. a high germination per...

external and internal changes in fruits during storage time are affected by the various factors that some of them can by studied by measuring the qualitative parameters (physical and mechanical). the effects of storage time on some physical and mechanical properties of valencia orange were investigated. the experiment was performed as factorial based on completely randomized design. analysis of...

in this study, ultrafiltrated feta cheese was prepared from cow’s milk ultrafiltraton retentate and soymilk blend. rennet and calcium chloride were used simultaneously as coagulant to coagulate cow’s milk proteins and soymilk proteins, respectively. then, the effect of storage period on physical (texture profile analysis test, penetration test), chemical (total solids, protein, fat) and sensory...

storage of potatoes is very important because fresh potatoes are available only for a few months in a year. thus, any treatment such as irradiation that controls sprout growth and extends shelf life of potatoes could be beneficial. in this study, potato sprout inhibition and tuber quality after treatment with various levels of gamma irradiation (0, 50, 100 and 150 gy) on different dates (10, 30...

background & aim: saffron extract is widely used in the food industry. saffron (crocus sativus l.) stigmata contain rare water-soluble carotenoids and the major one is crocin and this compound have a antitumor in rate and human losomi cells and other model of cancer cells.  in this research, we are study on effects of cultivation condition and storage on dried stigmata of   crocus sativus l...

introduction: for many years, ontologies have been available in many different forms, for example: classification schema, thesauruses, authorized vocabularies, terminologies and dictionaries. terminology and knowledge resources are essential components of interoperability among disparate systems. so, this paper considered the ontology of umls (which was prepared by national library medicine of ...

This paper presents sizing, energy management strategy, and cost analysis for a configuration consisting of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, fuel cell (FC) storage system, and reverse osmosis (RO) desalination technology for combined power and fresh water production. In this system, PV is the main power supply source; fuel cell is a storage system accompanied by Hydrogen production and storage d...
