Objective: To investigate the efficacy of three cosmeceutical products; vitamin C serum (VCS) containing Tetrahexyldecyl (THD) Ascorbate, a multi-ingredient anti-aging facial and eye moisturizer (MFM MEM), in improving epidermal dermal structure function utilizing preclinical models. Background: Dermatologists confidently recommend cosmeceuticals that demonstrate tolerability across broad patie...

BACKGROUND Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive disease that affects 1 in 3500-6000 male births. Despite broad research aiming to improve muscle function as well as heart and brain function, sufficient therapeutic efficacy has not yet been achieved and current therapeutic management is still supportive. In a recent pilot trial, oral treatment with L-arginine and metformin ...

introduction: parasitoid wasp, trichogramma brassicae (bezdenko) (hym.: trichogrammatidae) has excellent position in mass production technology, scope of application, wide geographical distribution and unmatched talent to adapt to different climatic conditions that can be easily reared on mediterranean flour moth (mfm), ephestia kuehniella zeller (lep.: pyralidae). the parasitoid use is in orde...

The mechatronic design cycle is characterized by taking into account and integrating mechanics, electronics, and information processing in the design process. For complex mechatronic systems a promising procedure is the decomposition of the entire system according to physically reasonable criteria. To describe the function of such combined subsystems we use the expression "mechatronic function"...

Abstract Non-volatile memories based on ferroelectric hafnium oxide, especially the field-effect transistor (FeFET), have outstanding properties, e.g. for application in neuromorphic circuits. However, material development has focused so far mainly metal–ferroelectric–metal (MFM) capacitors, while FeFETs are metal–ferroelectric–insulator–semiconductor (MFIS) capacitors. Here, influence of inter...

Mathew C. Abraham, Professor Rajeev J. Ram There exists a substantial expertise in making extremely precise point-to-point current and potential difference measurements, however, at present there is no technique available to image the flow of currents in devices. Below we report on a preliminary investigation into using a magnetic force microscope (MFM) as a tool to render current contrast images.

The enhancement in signal-to-noise ratio and lateral resolution in MFM in going from ambient pressure to UHV is demonstrated. The performance of several cantilevers is evaluated using a patterned 50 nm thick permalloy film, with cross-tie as well as 90 domain walls, and a 200 nm thick permalloy film with perpendicular magnetization. The increase in the quality factor of the cantilever oscillati...

Industrial process signals do affect one other. However, causal dependencies, or correlation, and thereby consequences of control actions cannot always be understood by the operator, which may lead to accidents. Models explain dependencies and are mostly built on process knowledge and blueprints, while causalities are visible in the measurements and ought to be used to increase process understa...

This study aimed to evaluate the apparent digestibility coefficients (ADCs) of dry matter, crude protein, gross energy, and minerals marine fish meal (MFM), salmon (SM), tilapia by-product (TBM), meat bone (MBM), poultry (PBM), blood (BM), feather (FM) by silver catfish Rhamdia voulezi. Groups 12 were fed experimental diet three times a day until satiation, fecal samples collected from an accum...

Myofibrillar myopathies (MFMs) are a group of hereditary neuromuscular disorders sharing common histological features, such as myofibrillar derangement, Z-disk disintegration, and the accumulation degradation products into protein aggregates. They caused by mutations in several genes that encode either structural proteins or molecular chaperones. Nevertheless, mechanisms which mutated result ag...
