smoking mothers are thinner and their babies are thinner too, but even accepting the limitations of correction for this effect, the growth-retarding effect of smoking on the fetus is hardly affected by this correction. A similar conclusion was derived from Cardiff Birth Survey data, in a community study on smoking and pregnancy.8 We postulate from our data and from other data already reported, ...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), abundant in mixed contaminant sites, often coexist with heavy metals. The fate and remediation of PAHs depend heavily on the sorption and desorption behavior of these contaminants. The sorption behavior can in turn be highly affected by certain soil components and properties, such as soil organic matter (SOM) and the presence of heavy metals. Through rev...

We have succeeded in producing liquid clusters such as ethanol and water clusters by an adiabatic expansion phenomenon, and the cluster size distribution was analyzed by using the time-of-flight method. For ethanol cluster ions, the size was distributed between a few hundreds and a few thousands, and the peak size was approximately 1200 molecules per cluster. For water cluster ions, the size di...

The authors') studied previously on the in vitro combined effect of sulfisoxazole with antituberculous agents and reported that the effect consisted of the heterogeneous composition of bacterial population with regard to drug sensitivity and the retarding action of drugs on the generation time of the organism. This study concerned with the effect of sulfisoxazole with antituberculous agents inh...

ABSTRACT: In this research, the functionality of sweet Basil seed powder (Ocimum basilicum L.) on Buguette bread quality and its potential application in retarding the staling process has been studied. Three different concentrations of the powder (0.5%, 1% and 1.5%, w/w, flour basis) were applied. The effects of powder on the rheological properties of dough were also investigated instrumentally...
