These objectives position culture fourth pillar development, alongside economic, social, environmental sectors. The measures support contribution cultural defining territorial vitality by highlighting ele...

Characterization of sugar content and enzyme activity in germinating soybean (Glycine max L. Merrell) seeds led to the discovery of sorbitol accumulating in the axes during germination. The identity of sorbitol was confirmed by relative retention times on high-performance liquid chromatography and gas liquid chromatography and by mass spectra identical with authentic sorbitol. Accumulation of s...

The relationships among desiccation sensitivities of Antiaris toxicaria seeds and axes, changes in activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), catalase (CAT), glutathione reductase (GR) and dehydroascorbate reductase, (DHAR), production rate of superoxide radical (.O(2) (-)), and the contents of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) and thiobarbituric acid (TBA)-reactive substa...

This study examined the reliability and validity of an inertial measurement unit (IMU) for measuring orientation angle. An IMU was mounted onto a goniometer and moved through 0-90° with data collected at 10° increments. The process was repeated 10 times for all 3 axes. Reliability was measured via a typical error (TE) analysis from the 10 repeated trials. Validity was determined via a Pearson c...

One hundred fifty-four patients with chronic bronchitis with or without emphysema were studied by electrocardiograms and pulmonary function tests. The incidence of the following electrocardiographic features: P waves greater than 2.0 mm in height, presence of Ta waves, P axes over +7S0, S waves greater than 5 mm in V5-Ve and QRS axes over +7S0, showed significant negative correlations with FEVl...
