Anisotropic diffusion affords an efficient, adaptive signal smoothing technique that can be used for signal enhancement, signal segmentation, and signal scale-space creation. This paper introduces a novel partial differential equation (PDE)-based diffusion method for generating locally monotonic signals. Unlike previous diffusion techniques that diverge or converge to trivial signals, locally m...

Introduction: There is a great interest in increasing the longitudinal relaxation of nuclear spins for hyperpolarized imaging experiments. Longitudinal multispin orders (LOMO) correspond to the non-equilibrium population distribution and can be created in spin systems that exhibit J couplings, dipolar couplings or quadrupolar couplings (1). It can also be created via cross-correlated relaxation...

Yeasts, filamentous fungi, and bacteria colonize the surface of fermented sausages during the ripening process. The source of this microbiota is their surrounding environment, and is influenced by the maturing conditions and starter cultures. Debaryomyces hansenii was previously isolated from several dry-cured meat products and associated with the lipolytic and proteolytic changes that occur in...

El estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar el comportamiento productivo y las características de la canal en ovinos pelo criollo (OPC) los cruces F1 Dorper x OPC Córdoba, Colombia. Se utilizaron 25 corderos (14 11 OPC), siendo 9 machos 16 hembras, manejados un sistema semi estabulación suplementados con una mezcla semilla algodón maíz molido. Los fueron faenados 6.5 meses edad aproximadamente. deter...

Chronic stimulation of fast-twitch muscles in rabbit (Salmons & Vrbova, 1969; reviewed by Pette & Vrbova, 1985) and cat (Eerbeek et al., 1984; reviewed by Kernell & Eerbeek,1989) has been shown to change contractile properties toward those of slow muscles. Activation with total claily amounts of activity of> 30%, 5% and <0.5% of the day, corresponding roughly with the activity of slow (S), fast...
