The fruits of Vaccinium oxycoccos L. are an important source bioactive compounds with antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory effects. Studies on the phytochemical analysis cranberry fruit samples showed that qualitative quantitative composition biologically active varied in collected from different types wetland sites: total anthocyanin content was 698 ± 24–8352 200 µg/g, flavonol con...

We studied 4253 patients undergoing primary joint replacement between November 2002 and November 2007, of whom 4060 received aspirin only as chemical prophylaxis; 46 were mistakenly given low molecular weight heparin initially, which was stopped and changed to aspirin; 136 received no chemoprophylaxis and 11 patients received warfarin because of a previous history of pulmonary embolism. We iden...

DL-[1-14C]Mevalonic acid lactone (25ILc) was added in sterile water to a flask containing an 8-day culture of P. cyclopium. A second flask was similarly treated with DL[2-L4C]mevalonic acid lactone (10&c). After a further 3 days the flasks were harvested and the palitantin was extracted as before but in neither case did it show any significant activity. In addition the mycelium was Soxhlet-extr...

Prediction of atopic disorders is an important step and should be carried out by examining both genetic factors and neonatal conditions. It has been known for centuries that heredity plays an important role in the development of atopy. A child with a negative family history still has about a 5-15% risk of developing atopy. However, children with a parental history of atopic disease are at highe...

We study the quantum evolution of black holes immersed in a de Sitter background space. For black holes whose size is comparable to that of the cosmological horizon, this process differs significantly from the evaporation of asymptotically flat black holes. Our model includes the one-loop effective action in the s-wave and large N approximation. Black holes of the maximal mass are in equilibriu...

Electromagnetic shielding characteristics for orientation angle and number of plies carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites were investigated in the frequency range between 900 6000 MHz. In this study, both unidirectional bidirectional fabrics utilized as reinforcement materials to manufacture composite samples. Twill glass also used order provide a large amount flexibility. To prepare laminat...

The present study was conducted on sixty non-insulin dependent diabetic women in the age group of 4060 years. After assessing the basic knowledge of the subjects about the disease by knowledge testing questionnaire all the subjects were imparted nutrition education regarding the disease, its symptoms, causes, complications and dietary modifications. The height, weight, mid upper arm circumferen...

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PMSA) is an integral membrane protein highly expressed by prostate cancer cells. We reported previously that PSMA undergoes internalization via clathrin-coated pits (Liu et al., Cancer Res., 58: 4055-4060, 1998). In this study we demonstrate that filamin A, an actin cross-linking protein, associates with the cytoplasmic tail of PSMA and that this association ...

Storing of available energy for later use is a necessity in the present world, one such method is using Phase Change Materials (PCMs). PCMs need a heat transfer medium to transfer the energy from the source to the PCM. In this present work spherical balls are used to store the PCM and water is used as a heat transfer fluid. Paraffin wax (PW) and Palmitic acid (PA) and (4060% PW-PA) eutectic mix...
