Ice cream mixes were treated with lactase (EC 3.2.1.23) to cause 0 to 83% lactose hydrolysis. Lactose hydrolysis decreased the freezing point from -1.63C in the control (0% hydrolyzed) samples to -1.74C in the 83% hydrolyzed sample (p < 0.05). Firmness decreased from 0.35 J in the control sample to 0.08 J in the 83% hydrolyzed sample. Lactose hydrolyzed samples melted at a faster rate than the ...

Organic-inorganic hybrids constitute an important class of compounds in the exploratory research area of advanced materials design, because these materials can be reliably designed by integrating highly predictable structural features of pure organic and inorganic solids.1-3 For example, in inorganic materials, variations in the nature of the metal cation or counterion or reaction conditions ca...

On February 2, 1999, we completed the factorization of the 140–digit number RSA–140 with the help of the Number Field Sieve factoring method (NFS). This is a new general factoring record. The previous record was established on April 10, 1996 by the factorization of the 130–digit number RSA–130, also with the help of NFS. The amount of computing time spent on RSA–140 was roughly twice that neede...

BACKGROUND There are 3 new topical treatments for herpes labialis that have either been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (penciclovir cream [Denavir] and n-docosanol cream [Abreva]) or recently undergone extensive clinical evaluation (acyclovir cream). The relative efficacy of these products is unknown. OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of penciclovir cream, acyclovir cream, n-...

we present a rare case with history of neurological symptoms due to multiple brain metastases and no urological symptoms. during patient evaluation for primary tumor, transitional cell carcinoma (tcc) of left renal pelvis was found. the patient underwent gamma knife stereotactic radio-surgery for the metastatic brain lesions. radical nephroureterectomy was performed, and a 4-cycle course of pac...
