A fast and simple modified QuEChERS extraction method was developed for determination of Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) in 137 traditional (Sangak), semi-industrial (Sangak) and industrial bread samples using spiked calibration curves by GC/MS. Sample preparation includes extraction of BaP into acetone followed by cleanup with dispersive solid phase extraction. The limit of detection and limit of quantif...

semi-regular locales are extensions of the classical semiregularspaces. we investigate the conditions such that semi-regularizationis a functor. we also investigate the conditions such that semi-regularizationis a reflection or coreflection.

objective(s): iodine-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine (123i-mibg) myocardial scintigraphy has been used to evaluate cardiac sympathetic denervation in lewy body disease (lbd), including parkinson’s disease (pd) and dementia with lewy bodies (dlb). the heart-tomediastinum ratio (h/m) in pd and dlb is significantly lower than that in parkinson’s plus syndromes and alzheimer’s disease. although this ra...

introduction: pelvic organ prolapse is a common condition that occurs in parous women and affects the quality of life of women. the present study aimed to evaluate the incidence of recurrent prolapse. materials and methods: in a cross-sectional study evaluated 365 women attending two public centers of ilam, west of iran. sampling was done by the simple random sampling method. all women particip...

The principles and application of established and newer methods for the quantitative and semi-quantitative determination of ergot alkaloids in food, feed, plant materials and animal tissues are reviewed. The techniques of sampling, extraction, clean-up, detection, quantification and validation are described. The major procedures for ergot alkaloid analysis comprise liquid chromatography with ta...

An arterial spin tagging (AST) pulse sequence has been developed to measure T(1) and relative blood perfusion. This full sequence is composed of three sequences: selective tagging, nonselective tagging, and nontagging. Perfusion quantification error resulting from imperfect inversion and acquisition slice profiles has been addressed in the literature. In this work, the error is reduced through ...

We studied the precision of densitometric quantification of the protein zones resolved by cellulose acetate electrophoresis. Replicate analyses of patients' samples by a single technologist showed mean CVs ranging from 2.9% for serum albumin to 9.5% for alpha 1-globulin. There were marked differences in measurements obtained by replicate analysis of the same samples by two experienced technolog...

Identification and classification of overlap nodes in communities is an important topic in data mining. In this paper, a new graphbased (network-based) semi-supervised learning method is proposed. It is based on competition and cooperation among walking particles in the network to uncover overlap nodes, i.e., the algorithm can output continuous-valued output (soft labels), which corresponds to ...
