A rapid methodology of quality control was developed for arabinogalactan proteins (AGP) extracted and purified from green tea. Using the vectorial angle method and IR spectrum analysis, the 1200-800 cm(-1) region in second-derivative IR spectra was determined as the key fingerprinting region of green tea AGP, with the 1090-900 cm(-1) region reflecting their conservative and common characteristi...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The existence and prevalence of cerebral salt wasting (CSW) or the preferred term, renal salt wasting (RSW), and its differentiation from syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) have been controversial. This controversy stems from overlapping clinical and laboratory findings and an inability to assess the volume status of these patients. The authors repo...

The Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequalities are the most famous examples of Bell inequalities. Cabello, Severini, and Winter came up with a graph approach to noncontextuality inequalities, which connects some graph-theoretic concepts quantum classical correlations. For example, theta body exclusivity can be associated set correlations achieved by theory. Following Cabello-Severini-Winter...

The recent exhibition of Patricia Piccinini’s art called That’s Us (Toruń, CSW) largely represents the Australian artist’s visions and fascinations known from earlier exhibitions. Questioning erasing borders between species, affective realities are bound to concepts care, empathy fragility, which refigure what is human non-human relations them by expanding notion mothering fostering include int...

Finding cost-efficient ways of increasing oil production with a low carbon footprint is the new challenge for petroleum industry that wants to meet net-zero emission goals by 2050. Smart water injection an EOR process increases and delays breakthrough wettability alteration. Seawater smart in chalk reservoirs, being especially effective at high temperatures. Different studies have shown effecti...

We calculate the critical value of the hopping parameter, κc, in O(a) improved Lattice QCD, to two loops in perturbation theory. We employ the Sheikholeslami-Wohlert (clover) improved action for Wilson fermions. The quantity which we study is a typical case of a vacuum expectation value resulting in an additive renormalization; as such, it is characterized by a power (linear) divergence in the ...

The economic and field performance of six Bombyx mori Linnaeus bivoltine strains were evaluated, namely ICIPE I, Chun-Lei X ZhengZhu (C X Z), QuiFeng X BaiYu (Q X B), Quingsong X Haoyoe (Q X H), Suju X Minghu (S X M) and 75xin X 7532 (75xin). Performance was based on larval, cocoon, pupa and shell weights, relationship of food consumption to larval weight, cocoon weight and shell weight. ICIPE ...
