DNA damage by reactive species is associated with susceptibility to chronic human degenerative disorders. Anthocyanins are naturally occurring antioxidants, that may prevent or reverse such damage. There is considerable interest in anthocyanic food plants as good dietary sources, with the potential for reducing susceptibility to chronic disease. While structure-activity relationships have provi...

The time is ripe to start a science of identities for their own sake, without paying lip-service to high-brow mathematics. Although putting combinatorial, (abstract-) algebraic or analytic flesh and blood on identities did lead and will lead to considerable insight as well as new identities, there is also much to be gained in forgetting advanced mathematics, and starting a new sub-discipline of...

The tolerance of ‘Apple’ banana (Musa sp.), avocado (Persea americana Mill.), mango (Mangifera indica L.), papaya (Carica papaya L.), and red ginger (Alpinia purpurata (Vieill.) K. Schum) inflorescences to carbonyl sulfide (COS) fumigation was studied. Commodities were exposed at 25°C to COS at various concentrations (1–6% (v/v) for banana; 1% and 2% for the other fruits for various times from ...

To comply with the relevant legal requirements and correct labelling, it is necessary for business operators and inspection authorities to know the natural characteristics of the raw material. This study gives a comprehensive overview of muscle flesh composition of farmed and wild Atlantic turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) and barramundi (Lates calcarifer) and of farmed pangasius (Pangasianodon hyp...

abstract this study was carried out in japan for evaluation of the relationship between phenolic compounds and skin color indices of 3 apples cultivars including ‘fuji’, ‘jonathan’ and ‘jonagold’, in 2006. in ‘jonathan’, l* (lightness) increased with decreasing red color of skin. in ‘jonagold’, chroma increased with increasing red color. but in ‘fuji’, there was no detectable difference between...

Differences in carotenoid accumulation between tissues and cultivars is common in plants. White-fleshed loquat cultivars had low levels of carotenoids in the flesh, but accumulated carotenoids in peel when ripe, and the leaves accumulated similar carotenoids to those in the red-fleshed loquat cultivars. The catalytic activity and expression patterns of four phytoene synthase (PSY) genes, EjPSY1...

Van Creveld begins his analysis by distinguishing between governments and states. In his view (1999, p. 1): “The state ... is an abstract entity which can be neither seen, nor heard, nor touched. This entity is not identical with either the rulers or the ruled; neither President Clinton, nor citizen Smith, nor even an assembly of all the citizens acting in common can claim that they are the sta...

This work is evidently an assiduous garnering of facts and figures as expounded during an extensive guided tour of penal instiutions. But a book about prison in which no single prisoner appears as a creature of flesh and blood is unmistakably a secondhand affair which cannot take much hold of what prison is all about. However, the material is wide-ranging, useful for reference and a guide to of...
