An $(n, r)$-arc is a set of $n$ points of a projective plane such that some $r$, but no $r+1$ of them, are collinear. The maximum size of an $(n, r)$-arc in  $PG(2, q)$ is denoted by $m_r(2,q)$.  In this paper we present  a new $(184,12)$-arc in PG$(2,17),$  a new $(244,14)$-arc and a new $(267,15$)-arc in $PG(2,19).$

ABSTRACT: This research assessed the phenolic composition of Jussara pulp from Brazilian states Minas Gerais (MG) and Espírito Santo (ES) using HPLC-DAD-MS/MS. Seventeen anthocyanins were detected in fruits, derived cyanidin, pelargonidin peonidin. Among non-anthocyanic compounds, flavonols (kaempferol, quercetin isorhamnetin derivatives), flavan-3-ols (catechin, epicatechin, B-type procyanidin...

background: perioglasâ (pg) is an alloplastic material used for grafting periodontal osseous defects since 1995. in animal models, it has been proven that pg achieves histologically good repair of surgically created defects. in clinical trials, pg was effective as an adjunct to conventional surgery in the treatment of intrabony defects. because the molecular events due to pg that are able to al...

Background: Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) has been controversially linked to IL-4 production in previous studies. A predominant Th1 response leads to resistance against recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC), whereas a Th2 response exacerbates the disease. Objective: To investigate the possible effect of iron deficiency on the host’s susceptibility to RVVC as a result of the Th1/Th2 cytokine ...

The phenolic composition (by HPLC-DAD-MS) and color characteristics (by Imaging Tristimulus Colorimetry) of four strawberry cultivars that have shown good climate adaptation to subtropical area (Nikte, Zamorana, Jacona and Pakal) have been assessed. 24 monomeric phenolics were identified, including 15 anthocyanins, 5 phenolic acids, 1 flavanol and 4 flavonols. Nikte and Zamorana showed the high...

Potatoes regarding their consumption are a significant antioxidant source in human nutrition. The main potato antioxidants are polyphenols, ascorbic acid, carotenoids, tocopherols, α-lipoic acid, and selenium. The most contained polyphenolic antioxidants in potatoes are L-tyrosine, caffeic acid, scopolin, chlorogenic and cryptochlorogenic acid and ferulic acid. In red and purple potatoes are in...

Extracts of the flower petals of Impatiens balsamina L. contain enzymes which catalyze the glycosylation of phenolic compounds. Enzymes have been extracted which glycosylate hydroquinone to arbutin and at least 3 different flavonols to the 3-monoglucoside. The hydroquinone glucosylating enzyme is similar to enzymes previously described except that it requires an unidentified low molecular weigh...
