Micron-sized white light propagation invariant beams generated by a simple and compact fiber device are presented. The all-fiber device is fabricated by splicing a short piece of large-core multimode fiber onto a small-core single mode white light delivery fiber. Because this fiber device offers an inherent spatial coherence, nondiffracting white light beams can be created with a temporally inc...

Dried noodles are a food favored by the people of Indonesia. But in general, dry contain low levels fiber and protein. Fiber protein needed body. Sources can be obtained from vegetable sources, namely red dragon fruit skin beans. Utilization flour bean manufacture make dried source This study aims to produce best noodle formulation. is an experimental using Completely Randomized Design method (...

Skeletal muscle fiber types differ in their contents of total phosphate, which includes inorganic phosphate (P(i)) and high-energy organic pools of ATP and phosphocreatine (PCr). At steady state, uptake of P(i) into the cell must equal the rate of efflux, which is expected to be a function of intracellular P(i) concentration. We measured (32)P-labeled P(i) uptake rates in different muscle fiber...

The etiology of colorectal cancer (CRC) involves the interaction of cell molecular changes and environmental factors, with a great emphasis on diet components. But the paths connecting lifestyle characteristicas and the colorectal carcinogenesis remain unclear. Several risk factors are commonly found in western diets, such as high concentrations of fat and animal protein, as well as low amounts...

Predicting variation in animal abundance across time and space has proven very difficult; however, a model exists to predict the biomass of small folivorous primates that has considerable correlative support. This model suggests that the protein-to-fiber ratio of leaves in a habitat can predict folivore biomass. Here we present an experimental test of this protein-to-fiber model to assess if th...

The diet selection of two groups of red colobus monkeys (Procolobus badius) in Kibale National Park, Uganda are considered with respect to protein, fiber, digestibility, alkaloids, total phenolics, tannins, saponins, and cyanogenic glycosides. Both groups selected young leaves over mature leaves and young leaves had more protein, were more digestible, and had a higher protein to fiber ratio tha...

BACKGROUND Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening disease and its prevalence rate increases with social aging. The degradation of elastic is an important factor in the formation of AAA. METHODS Adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were isolated from rats, and identified by Oil red O and alizarin red staining after adipogenesis and os...

nurse specialist at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle, Wash. lengths in the red and infrared spectra through an optical fiber to illuminate the blood. The red blood cells absorb various amounts of light depending on the amounts of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin that are present. The light reflected by the blood cells is transmitted through a second optical fiber to the photodetector, wh...

PURPOSE To report the clinicopathologic features of a case of conjunctival synthetic fiber granuloma. CASE REPORT A 6-year-old girl presented with a slow-growing red nodule in the right inferior conjunctival sac with no history of surgery or trauma. Histopathological examination revealed foreign body type granulomatous inflammation around birefringent fibers of variable colors consistent with...

The analytic theory developed in the main text is a dynamical mean-field one, which focuses on the likelihood φ ≡ [(ηi + 1)/2] that a given fiber bond is a bulk one. Here ηi ≡ SiSi+1, is a ‘defect variable’: ηi = 1 describes a bulk (same-color) bond, and ηi = −1 is a defect (unlike-color) one. We expect a mean-field theory of this nature to be most accurate when red and blue blocks are added to...
