Catchment baseflow is jointly controlled by climate and landscape properties. Previous studies have recognized that spatial variability of mean annual coefficient (BFC = , ratio to precipitation) primarily aridity index storage capacity. However, an analytical solution BFC in terms the dominant controlling factors has not yet been established. The objective this study was develop curve depict b...

The basal forebrain complex (BFC) is a small but intricate structure. Its organization and function is hard to investigate using conventional methods, especially in humans. By combining new methods of research we present a comprehensive overview of this complex, in order to better understand its function in normal and diseased brains. Methods: The right and left BFC of a 29-year-old male were r...

An investigation of the electrochemical activity of human white blood cells (WBC) for biofuel cell (BFC) applications is described. WBCs isolated from whole human blood were suspended in PBS and introduced into the anode compartment of a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell. The cathode compartment contained a 50 mM potassium ferricyanide solution. Average current densities between 0.9 and ...

Adipose tissue is an important storage depot for retinol, but there are no data regarding retinol mobilization from adipose stores. To address this, dibutyryl cAMP was provided to murine BFC-1beta adipocytes and its effects on retinol efflux assessed. High performance liquid chromatography analysis of retinol and retinyl esters in adipocytes and media indicated that cAMP stimulated, in a time- ...

In Alzheimer's disease (AD), there is a loss in cholinergic innervation targets of basal forebrain which has been implicated in substantial cognitive decline. Amyloid beta peptide (Aβ(1-42)) accumulates in AD that is highly toxic for basal forebrain cholinergic (BFC) neurons. Although the gonadal steroid estradiol is neuroprotective, the administration is associated with risk of off-target effe...

Numerous food products are marketed with enhanced quantities of bioactive food compounds (BFC) and these products are collectively referred to as functional foods. Although the term functional foods has no legally defined meaning in the United States, the scientific community and its representative organizations acknowledge the potential benefit of including these foods into the diet. As such, ...

This work focuses on the study of concentration lactose-free milk using a combination progressive freezing (PFC) with block (BFC). First, we investigated PFC skim applying response surface methodology. To analyze influence three factors (stirring rate, coolant temperature, and assay time) variables (concentrate yield, efficiency process, index, average ice growth rate), central composite design...

This article presents an efficient cold-starting energy harvester system, fabricated in 65-nm CMOS. The proposed uses no external electrical components and is compatible with biofuel-cell (BFC) voltage power ranges. A power-efficient system architecture to keep the internal circuitry operating at 0.4 V while regulating output 1 using switched-capacitor dc–dc converters a hysteretic controller. ...

The work is devoted to the development of sour milk products based on goat’s using example yoghurt with dietary fiber (DF). Gum arabic (0.3, 0.7, and 1%) bamboo concentrate (BFC) concentrations 5, 7 10% were used as fiber. According organoleptic, physicochemical microbiological indicators, two samples DF selected, namely: gum (0.3%) BFC (5%). It was shown that in terms parameters (acidity, mass...
