Bile acid binding capacity has been related to the cholesterol-lowering potential of foods and food fractions. Lowered recirculation of bile acids results in utilization of cholesterol to synthesize bile acid and reduced fat absorption. Secondary bile acids have been associated with increased risk of cancer. Bile acid binding potential has been related to lowering the risk of heart disease and ...

Field experiments were conducted in 1989 and 1990 to examine the population fluctuation patterns of Tylenchorhynchus nudus, Criconemella curvata, and Helicotylenchus cornurus in mixed bentgrass and annual bluegrass putting greens on two golf courses near Chicago, Illinois, to determine if fluctuation patterns could be extrapolated to unsampled greens. Fenamiphos-treated and untreated plots were...

This paper investigates a cylindrical nonlinear Schrödinger (cNLS) equation, which describes the cylindrically diverging quasi-plane envelope waves in a nonlinear medium. With the Hirota method and symbolic computation, bilinear form and N-soliton solutions in the form of an Nth-order polynomial in N exponentials are obtained for the cNLS equation. By means of the properties of double Wronskian...

The space-time Greens functions for 3-D poststack and 3-D prestack migration in a homogeneous medium are derived under the far-field approximation. These Greens functions can be used to practically compute synthetic migrated images. Examples are given for the recording footprint noise associated with a point scatterer and a meandering river channel. The Greens functions also provide fundamental...

I give a simple general prescription for computing the spectral functions of local operators in the Tomonaga-Luttinger model from the space-time correlation functions. The method is significantly simpler than directly transforming the space-time Greens function and allows a physical interpretation of the singularities encountered in the spectral function. 71.20.-b, 71.27.+a, 79.60.-i Typeset us...

Superintendents know that management of putting greens is an art. Greens are often made of high-porosity sand that does not retain water or nutrients very effectively. Also, putting green grasses are cut extremely short, which does not allow a deep root system to develop and take up nutrients from deep in the soil profile. Therefore, putting greens require frequent irrigation and fertilizer app...

In this study, discrepancies between the free vibration of fiber-metal laminate (FML) and composite cylindrical shells reinforced by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) based on Love’s first approximation shell theory have been considered by beam modal function model. The representative volume elements consist of three and four phases for composite and FML structures, respectively, which include fiber, CNT...

Dietary antioxidants play an important role against oxidation, an underlying mechanism in the incidence of chronic diseases. Greens+ is a commercially available preparation containing a variety of plant-derived ingredients. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the antioxidant potential of the methanolic extract of greens+ powder using in vitro and in vivo techniques. In vitro studies we...
