The effect of bacterial cellulose (BC) on the freeze-thaw stability of rice starch gels during 5 freeze-thaw cycles were investigated, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), rapid visco analyzer (RVA), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and textural analyzer (TA). SEM micrographs of freeze-thaw gels showed that smaller pore size and a thicker surrounding matr...

Freeze and breakup dates of ice on lakes and rivers provide consistent evidence of later freezing and earlier breakup around the Northern Hemisphere from 1846 to 1995. Over these 150 years, changes in freeze dates averaged 5.8 days per 100 years later, and changes in breakup dates averaged 6.5 days per 100 years earlier; these translate to increasing air temperatures of about 1.2 degrees C per ...

Die Dynamik der Informationstechnologie und steigende Komplexität von Informationssystemen schlägt sich auch im Informationssicherheitsmanagement nieder. Informationssicherheitsstandards haben sich als generische Lösungen für eine Vielzahl von Aufgaben etabliert. Inwieweit derartige Standards die benötigte ganzheitliche Betrachtung vorsehen ist bislang nicht geklärt. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wir...

The objective of this study was to establish a high quality progeny production system for the house fly parasitoid, Spalangia endius (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae), by stockpiling hosts. We performed two host killing methods before host storage: (i) heat-killed by 30 min exposure to 50°C or (ii) freeze-killed by 10 min exposure to -80°C. The average number of parasitoids that emerged from nonstore...

The stability of prothrombin and factor VII was studied using accelerated degradation tests in three preparations of freeze-dried pooled normal plasmas. In a previous report (Brozović, Gurd, Robertson, and Bangham, 1971) factor X was shown to be relatively unstable in these preparations of freeze-dried plasma: it was calculated that up to 8% of the original factor X activity would be lost after...

background: mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (tle) is a remediable epileptic syndrome. about 40% of patients continue to have seizures after standard temporal lobectomy. it has been suggested that some of these patients could actually suffer from a more complex epileptogenic network. because a few papers have been dedicated to this topic, we decided to write an article updating this theme. methods...

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of co-Q10 and ellagic acid on sperm parameters after the freeze–thawing of Ghezel ram sperm. Twenty ejaculates from five Ghezel rams were collected in this study. Semen samples, which were diluted with a soybean lecithin (SL) based extender containing 0.25 mM ellagic acid, 0.5 μM co-Q10, 0.25 mM ellagic acid + 0.5 μM co-Q10 and no antioxidant (...

In order to finding cultivars with high yield and compatible with potato in the form of fall cultivation in jiroft area, an experiment in randomized complete block design with three replication, was done in Jiroft agricultural research center in 2013. In this experiment height plant, No. Stem, Tuber diameter, Tuber weight/plant, No. tuber and yield were examined. Effect Prevent Freezing Cropaid...
