background: aflatoxin m1 (afm1) is a toxic compound that could be found in milk and dairy products. afm1 is the principle hydroxylated derivative of aflatoxin b1 (afb1), formed in liver and excreted into the milk in the mammary glands of both human and lactating animals that have been fed with afb1 contaminated diet. to the best of our knowledge, there is no report on stability of afm1 during p...

The dry pulp direct kneading method is an industrially viable, low-energy process for manufacturing cellulose nanofiber (CNF)-reinforced polymer composites, where the chemically modified pulps are nanofibrillated and uniformly dispersed in matrix during melt compounding. In present study, fibers of various sizes ranging from surface-fibrillated (20 μm width) to fine CNFs nm were prepared softwo...

Microlens array homogenizers are an attractive choice in the field of radiometry and photometry to generate highly uniform beams with high efficiency. In the present paper a microlens array homogenizer used to determine the spectral responsivity of large size, partially filtered photometer is presented. The effect of nonuniformity of the field is shown to be smaller than 0.2% in the whole visib...

high blood pressure has become increasingly commonbetween people and also it takes a major risk factor for many diseases. the present study is done toperformthe collaborative care model in patients with high blood pressure. hypertension is defined as: systolic blood pressure (sbp) ≥140 mmhg or diastolic blood pressure (dbp) ≥90 mmhg .a collaborative care model is a native educating method based...

marbles containing high-pressure mineral assemblage was found from the sanandaj-sirjan metamorphic belt in the nahavand area in western iran.  the high-pressure marbles occur as small bodies or lenses within pelitic schist layers and show compositional banding of carbonate- and silicate- rich bands.  textural analysis revealed two metamorphic stages.  the early stage is testified by relicts of ...

BACKGROUND Cell disruption strategies by high pressure homogenizer for the release of recombinant Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) from Pichia pastoris expression cells were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) based on the central composite design (CCD). The factors studied include number of passes, biomass concentration and pulse pressure. Polynomial models were used to corre...

The proposed model views drop coalescence in a turbulent flow field as a two-step process consisting of formation of a doublet due to drop collisions followed by coalescence of the individual droplets in a doublet due to the drainage of the intervening film of continuous phase under the action of colloidal (van der Waals and electrostatic) and random turbulent forces. The turbulent flow field w...
