An analytical model for the heat exchanger network (HEN) has been proposed in this work to study dynamic performance of HEN design stage. The relies on Laplace transform obtain system outlet temperature function when facing operational changeover. Equipped with decomposition strategy and pathway analysis, can reach time domain an easy way free numerical difficulty concern caused by inverse proc...

The inhibition of growth Fusarium solani mold on the shells coated table hen eggs a ethanol extract propolis was investigated. Hen were inoculated with F. spores and then at concentration 1, 2, 3, 5 or 10% using spray method. stored room temperature for 28 days. Weight loss color checked during storage. tested CIELab Propolis found to inhibit eggshells. A reduction three log cycles in number mo...

The severity of infection with Streptococcus pyogenes is strongly influenced by the host's genetics. This observation extends to the murine model of streptococcal infection, where the background of the mouse strain determines the infection outcome (BALB/c are resistant, whereas C3H/HeN are susceptible). To determine the extent to which the MHC complex (H2) contributed to diseases susceptibility...

We have examined the in vivo radioprotective effects of the macrocyclic lactone protein kinase C (PK-C) activator, bryostatin 1, administered either alone or in conjunction with recombinant murine granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rmGM-CSF), in Balb/c and C3H/HeN mice subjected to lethal total body irradiation (TBI). When administered alone on a divided dose schedule (24 hours a...

PURPOSE We have shown tumor-targeting and antitumor activities of an attenuated Salmonella choleraesuis in various tumor models. Meanwhile, host factors, including innate and adaptive immune responses, play roles in Salmonella-induced antitumor activity. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is identified as a signaling receptor for lipopolysaccharide derived from Gram-negative bacteria. However, the det...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Caregivers of children with chronic diseases included in a home enteral nutrition (HEN) programme are at risk of experiencing a feeling of burden, high level of anxiety and psychological distress. The aims of this study were: first, to examine the prevalence of symptoms of anxiety-depression in caregivers of children with neurological diseases requiring HEN by gastrostomy tube...

Transformation of Japanese encephalitis antibody from IgM to IgG in the sera of the experimental infected chicks with Japanese encephalitis virus and transmission of IgM or IgG from hen to chicks were examined by the gel filtration on Sephadex G-200 column. The following results were obtained. 1. Titer of hemoagglutination inhibiting antibody rose on seven days after inoculation of mouse brain ...

The US egg industry is exploring alternative housing systems for laying hens. However, limited published research related to cage-free aviary systems and enriched colony cages exists related to production, egg quality, and hen nutrition. The laying hen's nutritional requirements and resulting productivity are well established with the conventional cage system, but diminutive research is availab...

In the context of the European Union ban on battery cages by 2012, a survey was conducted among Flemish egg producers (60% response rate, 140 completed questionnaires) about the introduction and opinion of alternative housing systems. Belgium appears to be among the countries in the European Union that are slower to adopt alternative housing. Belgium's egg industry is thus likely to undergo dra...

This is a Health Evidence Network (HEN) synthesis report on the effectiveness of old-age mental health services. The European Region had 15% of its population 65 years old or older and nearly 7% 75 or over in 2000, the world’s highest percentages. By 2030 these figures will increase to 24% and 12% respectively. The effect on health care will be amplified by a disproportionate increase in dement...
