Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is a nutrient dense food rich in beneficial phytochemicals. The aim of this study is to investigate and to determine antioxidant contents from local and highly consumed pomegranate variety called ‘Gabsi’. Peels, seeds, leaves and flowers were used to quantify total polyphenols, flavonoids, anthocyanins and hydrolysable tannins. Antioxidants contents were as foll...

We studied the effect of magnetoelastic anisotropy on domain wall (DW) dynamics and remagnetization process of magnetically bistable Fe-Co-rich microwires with metallic nucleus diameters (from 1.4 to 22 μm). We manipulated the magnetoelastic anisotropy applying the tensile stresses and changing the magnetostriction constant and strength of the internal stresses. Microwires of the same compositi...

The hyperplanes of the symplectic dual polar space DW (5, q) arising from embedding, the so-called classical hyperplanes of DW (5, q), have been determined earlier in the literature. In the present paper, we classify non-classical hyperplanes of DW (5, q). If q is even, then we prove that every such hyperplane is the extension of a non-classical ovoid of a quad of DW (5, q). If q is odd, then w...

According to recent surveys, dementia worry (DW) is a widespread phenomenon in mid-life and old age, at least in Western populations. DW has been shown to be only loosely related to sociodemographic factors. Unfortunately, the concept of DW has found only very little conceptual and empirical attention in previous research. In this conceptual review, we take (mostly) a psychological approach to ...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of using multishot PROPELLER for diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) of the abdomen. MATERIALS AND METHODS Diffusion-weighted abdominal imaging was performed in 9 healthy volunteers and 3 patients using both single-shot DW-SE-EPI and multishot DW-PROPELLER (BLADE sequence). We compared ADC measurements in phantoms, liver and p...

The aim of the present study was to determine the efficacy of a hypotonic treatment for peritoneal dissemination from gastric cancer cells using an in vivo model. We firstly evaluated the toxicity of a peritoneal injection of distilled water (DW) (2 mL for 3 days) in mice. Macroscopic and microscopic examinations revealed that the peritoneal injection of DW did not severely damage the abdominal...

was prevented completely by DW-224a at concentrations of 1·, 2· and 4· MIC by 24 h, although regrowth occurred in the presence of ciprofloxacin at 1· MIC concentration. DW-224a also showed a dose-dependent bactericidal activity against all test organisms up to 4· the MIC. The MBCs of DW-224a in Mueller–Hinton broth (MHB) were identical to 1·MIC or at most twice the MIC for all strains tested. B...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: dry weight (dw) is an important concept related to patients undergoing hemodialysis. conventional method seems to be time consuming and operator dependent. bio impedance analysis (bia) is a new and simple method reported to be an accurate way for estimating dw. in this study, we aimed to compare the conventional estimation of dw with mea...

Compared to steadily propagating waves (SPW), damped waves (DW), another solution to the nonlinear wave equation, are seldom studied. In cardiac tissue after electrical stimulation in an SPW wake, we observe DW with diminished amplitude and velocity that either gradually decrease as the DW dies, or exhibit a sharp amplitude increase after a delay to become an SPW. The cardiac DW-SPW transition ...
