Oil refinery is one of industries that require huge energy consumption. The today technology advance requires energy saving. Heat integration is a method used to minimize the energy comsumption though the implementation of Heat Exchanger Network (HEN). CPT is one of types of Heat Exchanger Network (HEN) that functions to recover the heat in the flow of product or waste. HEN comprises a number o...

BACKGROUND Recent studies have showed that S100A8 has been implicated in the pathobiology of inflammatory disorders, and that cerebral ischemia reperfusion (I/R) rapidly activates inflammation responses via Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). This study aimed to explore the expression of S100A8 and the relationship between S100A8 and TLR4 in focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury. METHODS C3H/He...

Use of low protein diets could have potential benefits on nitrogen emissions reduction as well as potential cost savings by reducing the utilization of high cost protein sources. An experiment was conducted with 160 Hy-Line W-36 hens which were randomly assigned to one of four dietary treatment groups. Corn-soy based diets varying in dietary crude protein (CP) supplemented with commercially ami...

The air in laying hen houses contains high concentrations of airborne bacteria. The numbers of these bacteria can be influenced by the efficiency of the chosen sampling method. In the presented study, AGI-30 Impingers and the Coriolis(®)µ air Sampler were compared in terms of their efficiency in sampling aerobic mesophilic bacteria in a laying hen house. Measurements were conducted in a laying ...

AIM To present the results of the Spanish home enteral nutrition (HEN) registry of the NADYA-SENPE group for the year 2013. MATERIAL AND METHODS From January 1st to December 31st 2013 data was recorded for the HEN registry and further descriptive and analytical analysis was done. RESULTS In this period 3 223 patients (50.6% men) and a total of 3 272 episodes of HEN were registered in 33 Spa...

Transplantation of bone marrow cells from nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice, a model for type 1 diabetes mellitus, to C3H/HeN mice, which express I-E alpha molecules and have aspartic acid at residue 57 of the I-A beta chain, induced insulitis followed by overt diabetes in the recipient C3H/HeN mice more than 40 weeks after bone marrow transplantation. When cyclosporin A, which perturbs T-cell funct...

Beneficial effects of ammonium hydroxide was studied, to optimize the ammonium hydroxide concentration for effective tenderization of spent hen meat. Spent hen meat chunks were subjected to ammonium hydroxide treatment (AHT) at different concentrations (0%, 0.1%, 0.5% and 1.0% v/w) and evaluated for different quality parameters after 24 hours. The results indicated a significant increase in pH,...

s of papers 47 and a mid-production period (12-16 wks of production). The SP hole distribution indicated that 85% of hens had between 21 and 100 holes. Depending on the sire, the data exhibited differences due to hen or hen by period interactions. These results indicated that eggs from hens inseminated with semen from the same sire had significantly different numbers of IPVL SP holes. This sugg...

To create the best e-learning environment, the project of Ministry of Education Taiwan, one of the eGeneration projects, established the digital e-learning web that includes Health, Life, Natural, Science, Arts and Cultural e-learning Networks. The health e-Learning Network combines experts in the field of health and physical education and primary and secondary school teachers to develop practi...

Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a leading, worldwide cause of death and disability due to pneumonia. Mycoplasma pulmonis infection in mice is an invaluable model for the study of host defenses against respiratory mycoplasmas in vivo. C3H/HeN mice are much more susceptible to acute inflammatory lung disease due to M. pulmonis than C57BL/6N mice, but little is known about the chronic disease in these mo...
