Sesame and coconut are emerging food allergens in the United States. We sought to examine whether children allergic to peanuts and tree nuts are at increased risk of having an allergy to sesame or coconut. We performed a retrospective chart review of children who underwent skin prick testing (SPT) to sesame and coconut and identified 191 children who underwent SPT to sesame and 40 to coconut. S...

Coconut oil has recently attracted considerable attention as a potential Alzheimer's disease therapy because it contains large amounts of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) and its consumption is thought to stimulate hepatic ketogenesis, supplying an alternative energy source for brains with impaired glucose metabolism. In this study, we first reevaluated the responses of plasma ketone bodies to ...

Various types of fibers like glass, steel, coconut fiber, sugarcane bagasse etc are used to increase the mechanical properties concrete. SCBF is final residue sugar industries which in this study. The objective paper study effect geopolymer concrete (GPC) and conventional (CC) equivalent grade M40 when it subjected alternative drying wetting. specimens treated with water by wetting process. Thi...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary coconut oil as a medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA) source on performance, carcass composition and serum lipids in male broilers. A total of 540, one-day-old, male Arbor Acres broilers were randomly allotted to 1 of 5 treatments with each treatment being applied to 6 replicates of 18 chicks. The basal diet (i.e., R0) was based on corn a...

In stiff fiber-reinforced material, the high shear stress concentration occurs in the narrow region between fibers. With the addition of a small geometric change in crosssection, such as a thin fiber or a overhanging part of fiber, the concentration is significantly increased. This paper presents mathematical analysis to explain the rapidly increased growth of the stress by a small particle in ...
