The extraction method is critical for the recovery of phenolic compounds. The main goal was to evaluate the effect of an extraction process from mango seed on their phenolic profile, antioxidant and antimicrobial capacities. Phenolic extraction was performed in different steps: maceration, alkaline hydrolysis, acid/alkaline hydrolysis, polar and non-polar fraction of an ethyl acetate separation...

CRISPR-Cas (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats—CRISPR associated proteins) is a RNA-guided defense immune system that prevents some genetic elements such as plasmids and virus from getting into the bacterial cells. Zymomonas mobilis is an ethanologenic bacterium, which encodes a subtype I-F CRISPR-Cas system containing three CRISPR loci and a far distant cas gene cluster....

objectives: to assess the effect of lactic acid (la) on microleakage of silorane-based composite restorations and methacrylate-based composites with self-etch and etch-and-rinse bonding systems. materials and methods: class v cavities were prepared in 120 extracted human teeth, divided into four groups and restored as follows: 1. silorane-based composite+p90 adhesive system (p90); 2. filtek z25...

BACKGROUND Since 2000, the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) and WHO have supported the introduction of the Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV) in the immunization programs of developing countries. The highest pneumococcal nasopharyngeal carriage rates have been reported (40-60%) in these countries, and the highest incidence and case fatality rates of pneumococcal infections...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Diffusion-weighted (DW) imaging has limited spatial resolution, especially in the z direction. We decreased the section thickness of DW imaging to 3 mm to determine if this change improves the depiction of small infarcts and if it affects stroke diagnosis. METHODS We studied conventional (5-mm section thickness, 1-mm intersection gap) and thin-section (3-mm section thic...

A data warehouse (DW) is a large centralized database that stores data integrated from multiple, usually heterogeneous external data sources (EDSs). DW content is processed by so called On-Line Analytical Processing applications, that analyze business trends, discover anomalies and hidden dependencies between data. These applications are part of decision support systems. EDSs constantly change ...

This study compared the current nutritional status, hemoglobin levels and their associations with soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections between two categories of Negritos (indigenous): (i) Inland Jungle Villages (IJV) (ii) Resettlement Plan Scheme (RPS) near town peripheries, decades after redevelopment demarginalization. A total 416 (IJV: 149; RPS: 267) was included for profiling based on...
