BACKGROUND Peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritonitis is treated by administration of antibiotics mixed with the PD solution. Data on antibiotic stability for solutions in current use are limited. The aim of this study was to determine the stability of cefepime, cephazolin and ampicillin in three commercial PD solutions. METHODS Antibiotics were added to the non-glucose compartment of th...

BACKGROUND The aim of this work was to evaluate the evolution of the quality of extra virgin olive oil obtained from a super-high-density Arbequina orchard, under a drip irrigation system, throughout the ripening process. For this objective, physicochemical, nutritional and sensory parameters were studied. In addition, the oxidative stability, pigment content and colour evolution of olive oil w...

: The CIECAM97s and its revision, as a colour appearance model, were applied for a series of fabrics with different colours and depths to explain their colour appearance coordinates in similar viewing conditions. The results show that due to some modifications which expand the scale, the modified model has improved capadilities in calculating chroma. Besides, the calculations were simpler for t...

in this paper, an attempt has been made to investigate the reflectance of various colours and effects of vary-ing colours on human working and production. different colours have different reflectance and energy associ-ated with it. colours play a significant role in the colour scheme of the houses, offices, factories etc. the col-ours may be seen on walls, tabletops, equipment, machines etc. in...
