Background: Clove bud oil (CBO) and oleoresin rosemary (ORM) possess antioxidant antibacterial properties are widely used as natural preservatives in meat products. The present study was conducted with the objective of evaluating essential oils CBO ORM a hurdle for extending shelf life chicken patties at ambient temperature storage. Methods: viz. 0.05% level (T1) 0.1% (T2) their combination (CB...

The volatile compounds from fruits vary based on the spoilage stage. We used FTIR spectroscopy to analyze and to attempt to identify the spoilage process of strawberries. To enhance the sensitivity of the measuring system, we increased the optical pathlength by using multi-reflecting mirrors. The volatile compounds that were vaporized from strawberries in different spoilage stages were tested. ...

Introduction: For RF-spoiled gradient echo imaging (ie SPGR, FLASH, T1-FFE), the combination of spoiling gradients and quadratic phase cycling eliminates net transverse magnetization within a voxel [1-4] to enable pure T1 contrast. Generally, many RF excitations are required to attain steady state magnetization levels. Therefore, when unsaturated spins are flowing into the imaging volume, inflo...

To give a consistent and more valuable property on models, model-driven processes should be able to reuse the expert knowledge generally expressed in terms of patterns. We focus our work on the design stage and on the systematically use of design patterns. Choose a good design pattern and ensure the correct integration of the chosen pattern are non trivial for a designer who wants to use them. ...

Introduction: Coronary MR Angiography is a valuable tool for non-invasive assessment of coronary arteries. Presently, contrastenhanced, fat-saturated, ECG-triggered and navigator-gated 3D spoiled gradient-echo sequence is employed for whole-heart Coronary MRA at 3T. However, large static field variations at 3T frequently result in non-uniform fat-suppression over the field-of-view (FOV), obscur...

Recent scholarship has conceptually reframed HIV-related stigma as a social rather than individual process that perpetuates and sustains relations of power that devalues persons living with HIV (PLHIV). If HIV-stigma is perpetuated by social relationships that are embedded in socio-economic and political structures that insidiously exclude PLHIV, and less by ‘spoiled’ individual identity, how d...

Purpose. To evaluate stent lumen visibility of a large sample of different peripheral arterial (iliac, renal, carotid) stents using magnetic resonance angiography in vitro. Materials and Methods. 21 different stents and one stentgraft (10 nitinol, 7 316L, 2 tantalum, 1 cobalt superalloy, 1 PET + cobalt superalloy, and 1 platinum alloy) were examined in a vessel phantom (vessel diameters ranging...
