The title compound, C(23)H(19)PSe(2), has a central five-membered twist C(3)PSe ring conformation. One phenyl ring substituent, attached to an sp(2) carbon, is approximately coplanar with the C(3)PSe ring whilst the other organic substituents, attached to an sp(3)-carbon and a P(V) atom, lie on the same side of the ring.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of Platycarya strobilacea S. et Z. (PSE) extract on mouse hair growth and to determine the mechanism of action of PSE. PSE was purchased and its antioxidant activities, such as electron donating ability, total polyphenol content, and flavonoid content were tested. Toxicity during topical treatment was determined by the CCK-8 assay, a cell viabili...

In response to high consumer demand, turkeys have been intensively selected for rapid growth rate and breast muscle mass and conformation. The success in breeding selection has coincided with an increasing incidence of pale, soft, and exudative (PSE) meat defect, especially in response to heat stress. We hypothesized that the underlying mechanism responsible for the development of PSE meat aris...

Certain phenolic compounds are known to exhibit laxative properties. Seed sprouts, such as those of peanut, are known to promote de novo biosynthesis of phenolic compounds. This study was conducted to examine the potential laxative properties of 80% (v/v) ethanolic extract of peanut sprout (PSE), which contains a high concentration of phenolic compounds such as resveratrol. For this, SD rats we...

Infections caused by Salmonella bacteria, often through poultry products, are a serious public health issue. Because of drawbacks associated with antibiotic prophylaxis, alternative treatments are sought. Bacterial viruses (bacteriophages) may provide an effective alternative, but concerns remain with respect to bacteriophage stability and effectiveness. To this end, we assessed the stability o...

The effects of chicken breast meat lightness value (L*) on microstructure, protein extraction, and marinating and tumbling was investigated. Pale soft, and exudative (PSE) meat (L* = 57.7, pH 5.72) showed significantly lower salt soluble protein extraction with less heavy myosin chains compared with dark, firm, and dry (DFD) meat (L* = 44.8, pH 6.27). The PSE meat showed larger intercellular sp...

Experiences with the parallelization of the Phase Space Evolution (PSE) model for electron beam dose calculation are discussed. It is shown that the communication cost in a parallel implementation of the PSE model can be kept small. However, because of the dynamical behaviour of the work load during a PSE simulation special measures must be taken to obtain a good load balance among the processo...

The class A PSE-4 beta-lactamase was used for studying the importance of amino acids in the omega (Omega) loop and its interactions for hydrolysis of beta-lactam antibiotics. By cassette mutagenesis, we replaced the amino acids 163-179 Omega loop in PSE-4 with TEM-1, SHV-1 and Streptomyces albus G beta-lactamase Omega loops. Phenotypic analysis of Escherichia coli recombinants expressing the Om...

designed to support the development and execution of scalable parallel applications on clusters (farms) of distributedand shared-memory Alpha processors running the Digital UNIX operating system. PSE version 1.0 supports the High Performance Fortran (HPF) language; it also supplies generic facilities required by other parallel languages and systems. PSE provides tools to define a cluster of pro...

BACKGROUND The evidence strongly links parental self-efficacy (PSE) to parenting behaviors and child health outcomes. PURPOSE The purpose of this article is to apply the social ecological model to the exploration of contextual factors that influence PSE for parents recovering from substance use disorders (SUDs). METHODS An integrative review of the literature was conducted on PSE, parenting...
