kefiran is an exogenous microbial metabolite produced mainly by bacteria and fungi during growth. the present study investigated the effects of the addition of 3% kefiran and 3% xanthan on the extensographic characteristics of wheat dough and the shelf life of raised bread. kefir grain was cultivated in a shaking incubator and kefiran extraction was carried using a centrifugal refrigerator. the...

Low-load blood flow restricted (BFR) resistance exercise has been suggested to be as effective as moderate and high-load resistance training for increasing muscle size and strength. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of 6 weeks of HL or low-load BFR resistance training on neuromuscular function, strength, and hypertrophy of the knee extensors. Eighteen participants aged 18-22 ...

Xiexin decoction (XXD), a classic pyretolysis formula, is composed of Rhei Rhizoma (DH), Radix Scutellaria (HQ) and Coptis Chinensis (HL) and is commonly used in the clinical setting. The aim of this study was to investigate the pharmacokinetic differences of the five anthraquinones in rats after oral administration of XXD and different combinations of its constituent herbs. Twenty rats were ra...

The objectives of this study were to characterize sows having high lifetime efficiency and high longevity (HE–HL), to examine the relationship between lifetime measurements, and to determine the association between the sows and herd productivity. This study was conducted by obtaining sow data with 66,262 parity records of 13,786 sows born during 1999 and herd data with mean measurements of 4-ye...

We congratulate the authors for a stimulating paper (referred to as HL in the following). As the authors correctly stated, the number of variables does not affect the optimal rate of convergence in a regular parametric model, but it does affect the optimal rate of convergence in nonparametric models. To be more precise, the optimal rate of convergence in a nonparametric function estimation prob...

ABSTRACT: The evolution in virulence of Puccinia coronata f. sp. avenae has challenged the genetic resistance to crown rust oat genotypes. New sources are constantly required for yield stabilization and costs reduction. This study aimed characterize genotypes disease´s productive economic impact. Experiments were conducted two environments, with without chemical control. Resistance was measured...

3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase (HL, EC 4.1.3.4) catalyses the last step of ketogenesis from leucine and fatty acids. HL deficiency in humans is one of the many inborn errors of CoA ester metabolism. By gene targeting, we created a strain of HL-deficient mice. Heterozygous HL-deficient mice are clinically normal and fibroblasts from homozygous HL-deficient embryos grow normally despite abs...

obesity is one of the health threatening problems and the second preventable mortality factor, the prevalence of which is increasing. the economic burden of obesity is estimated at 2-7% of the total healthcare costs and it is predicted to be top health problem of the world in 2025. therefore, following up obesity and developing effective clinical interventions is a significant measure taken in ...

Abstract—Digital Watermarking is a procedure to prevent the unauthorized access and modification of personal data. It assures that the communication between two parties remains secure and their communication should be undetected. This paper investigates the consequence of the watermark strength of the grayscale image using a Discrete Wavelet Transformation (DWT) additive technique. In this meth...
