Results The mean AUC(0,12 h) was higher following application of TDS ® -testosterone (61.8 ng ml − 1 h), compared with Androgel ® (57.7 ng ml − 1 h) and TDS ® -placebo (50.7 ng ml − 1 h. The mean C max (0,12 h) was similar for TDS ® -testosterone (6.6 ng ml −1 ) and Androgel ® (6.5 ng ml − 1 ) and these values were higher than those for TDS ® -placebo (5.7 ng ml − 1 ). Analysis of variance show...

A Total Diet Study (TDS) consists of selecting, collecting and analysing commonly consumed foods purchased at retail level, processing the food as for consumption, pooling the prepared food items into representative food groups, homogenizing the pooled samples and analysing them for harmful and/or beneficial chemical substances [1]. TDSs are commonly designed at national level and aim to cover ...

Abstract This research aimed to determine the effect of Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) plasma treatment on physical, chemical, and biological parameters drinking water. was conducted using a DBD reactor with time were 0, 5, 10, 15 20 minutes at AC voltage 5 kV. The results showed that there an value Total Dissolved Solid (TDS) number bacteria in water given decreased lowest values 148.33 pp...

At present, the most commonly used building material is ordinary Portland cement (OPC). However, OPC has a negative environmental effect during synthesis, with the release of significant amount of CO2 greenhouse gas. The cement industry is responsible for 5-8% of total global anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Geopolymerization is a technology capable of turning industrial wastes into strong and chem...

Previous studies have indicated that salmonid fertilization success may be very sensitive to elevated concentrations of total dissolved solids (TDS) with effects at concentrations as low as 250mgl(-1) being reported. However, interpretation of these studies is complicated by poor control performance and variable concentration response relationships. To address this, a series of experiments were...

Exploring alternative freshwater resources other than those surrounding the Nile is critical to disperse Egypt’s population uninhabited desert areas. This study aims locate groundwater potential zones (GWPZs) in water-scarce between Qina and Safga-Bir Queh regions build wells, thereby attracting supporting people’s demand for water, food, urban development. Multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) analy...

The Tongue Drive System (TDS) is a minimally invasive, wireless, and wearable assistive technology (AT) that enables people with severe disabilities to control their environments using tongue motion. TDS translates specific tongue gestures into commands by sensing the magnetic field created by a small magnetic tracer applied to the user's tongue. We have previously quantitatively evaluated the ...

The experiment aimed to study the influences of drinking natural saline water on thermoregulation, blood constituents and semen quality of White Leghorn cocks under heat stress in desert conditions. A total number of 60 cocks (22-wk-old and body weight of 1555 g ± 36.11) were divided randomly into four equal groups which in turn divided randomly into three equal replicates. The 1 st treatment (...
