The poultry industry has made significant advances in growth rate, feed efficiency, and breast muscle yield through intensive breeding of turkeys. However, a meat quality problem known as pale, soft, exudative (PSE) meat presents the industry with a major challenge during periods of stress, such as the onset of a prolonged heat wave. The biochemical characteristics of PSE turkey are strikingly ...

Lactobacillus plantarum LMG P-26358 isolated from a soft French artisanal cheese produces a potent class IIa bacteriocin with 100% homology to plantaricin 423 and bacteriocidal activity against Listeria innocua and Listeria monocytogenes. The bacteriocin was found to be highly stable at temperatures as high as 100°C and pH ranges from 1-10. While this relatively narrow spectrum bacteriocin also...

Sixtynine cases of portal systemic encephalopathy (PSE) (45 cirrhosis, 24 hepatitis) were seen during 15 months. Coma due to acute viral hepatitis occurred in a younger age group as compared to cirrhosis. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding and hepatic necrosis were the main precipitating factors. Most of the patients were in grade Ill (37.6%) and IV (34.7%) coma when first seen. Blood ammonia nitr...

Development of user-friendly Problem Solving Environments (PSEs) is still a challenging task for PSE developers, especially in dealing with the issue of human-PSE communications. This paper proposes a novel way in designing the GridPSi, a Grid-enabled PSE for partial differential equation based physical simulations. The well-designed graphical user interface of this PSE and PDE wizards will gui...

In this study, 4-[5-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-aryl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]benzenesulfonamide derivatives (8-14) were synthesized for the first time by microwave irradiation and their chemical structures were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS. Cytotoxic activities and inhibitory effects on carbonic anhydrase I and II isoenzymes of the compounds were investigated. The compounds 9 (PSE = 4.2), ...

There are several methods of implicit measurement. A very valid and wide spread assessment of motives by using the technique of projection is picture story exercises (PSE). Graphology, as theory of inferences on personality and motives by analyzing handwriting, is another one. The presented study examines the commons of the both measurement methods and their prediction of achievement behaviour....

To investigate the pharmacological and toxicological actions of purified snake enzymatic cream (PSE) isolated from Agkistrodon Halys Venom, erythematous dermatitis was induced by applying dinitrofluorobenezene (DNFB) on the back skin of guinea pigs. Consequent local alterations at different doses of PSE were observed and compared using negative control methods. In skin irritation and acute toxi...

This paper discusses several dimensions involved in the design and implementation of future generations of Problem–Solving Environments (PSE). The paper surveys the main requirements posed both by end users and by system developers. The main issues on the development of future generation of PSEs are identified. A case study is then discussed which relates to an ongoing project in the author’s i...

The organization and quantity of myosin irrigation into myosin-free “ghost” fibers were compared between normal and PSE myosin. Considerable amounts of myosin were incorporated into the “ghost” fibers for both normal and PSE myosin. Elec t ron microscopic s tudy showed tha t the myosin f i laments were formed a l l over the thin filaments after the irrigation. However, there was almost no diffe...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To describe the epidemiology and associations of poststroke epilepsy (PSE) because there is limited evidence to inform clinicians and guide future research. METHODS Data were collected from the population-based South London Stroke Register of first strokes in a multiethnic inner-city population with a maximum follow-up of 12 years. Self-completed forms and interviews no...
