The histological characteristics, ie, myofibre types and cross-sectional areas (CSA), of pectoralis major and sartorius muscles of 20 male chickens from two lines (ten birds from each line) divergently selected for breast meat yield were compared. Moreover, some quality parameters (ie, drip loss, ultimate pH value and meat colour) of the breast muscle were recorded. The animals from both lines ...

Esophageal impedance pH monitoring provides quantitative data on esophageal acid exposure and has the ability to correlate the symptoms with acid exposure events. The nomenclature for the reflux patterns detected in impedance pH monitoring as well as the normal values have been determined. Data interpretation is similar to 24-hour pH monitoring, ie, searching for an increase in the number of re...

Corrosion of Aluminum metal at pH 10 has been controlled by dicarboxylic acids such as oxalic acid (OA) and adipic (AA).The Inhibition efficiency (IE) determined the classical weight loss method. The maximum inhibition offered (AA) 250 ppm Zn2+ 50 system are 88 96%. To determine values Linear Polarization Resistance (LPR) corrosion Current (Icorr), potentiodynamic polarization study used.

Effect of global change variables on the structure and photosynthesis phytoplankton communities was evaluated in three different sites Patagonian coast Argentina: enclosed bay (Puerto Madryn, PM), estuarine (Playa Unión, PU), open waters (Isla Escondida, IE). We exposed samples to two contrasting scenarios: Present (nutrients at situ levels) vs. Future (with lowered pH higher nutrients inputs),...

The aim of this study was to enhance the solubility of rosuvastatin (RST) calcium by developing β-cyclodextrin-g-poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid [AMPS]) hydrogel microparticles through aqueous free-radical polymerization technique. Prepared hydrogel microparticles were characterized for percent entrapment efficiency, solubility studies, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, d...
