All-organic aqueous batteries based on universal poly(imide) anodes and poly(catechol) cathodes with tunable cell voltage are reported by exploiting different charge carriers (Li+, Zn2+, Al3+, Li+/H+). A full-cell achieves the highest energy/power density of 80.6 W h kg−1/348 kW kg−1 in Li+/H+.

Purpose: Cognitive deficit is one of the common comorbidity accompanying epilepsy. The present study evaluated the effect of Celastrus paniculatus (C- paniculatus) seed extract on seizure severity and cognitive deficit following Pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) -induced chemical kindling model. Methods: PTZ kindling model was developed by daily administration of sub-convulsive dose of PTZ 30 mg/kg for...

propolis, a resinous substance collected by apis mellifera bees from various plant sources is transformed in the presence of bee enzymes. short- and long-term effects of diet supplementation with ethanol extract of iranian propolis (eeip) was investigated on growth and immunity in juvenile rainbow trout. the fish (mean body weight 30 ± 3.2 g) were fed a commercial diet supplemented with 0 (cont...

High dose metoclopramide infusions (10 mg/kg) were administered to nineteen patients with bronchial carcinoma who were receiving intravenous cyclophosphamide as single agent chemotherapy. Considerable interindividual variability in metoclopramide disposition was observed. Mean clearance was 0.33 +/- 0.13 (s.d.) l h-1 kg-1, mean volume of distribution at steady state was 3.8 +/- 1.2 (s.d.) l/kg ...

The effects of the initial pH and air supply on the production of ethanol from D-xylose using the yeast Candida shehatae in a batch reactor were investigated. The initial pH was altered within the range of 2.5-6.5 and the specific aeration rate from 0.0-0.3 vv-1 min-1. The results showed that the most favorable initial pH for ethanol production was 4.5 and aeration via the stirring vortex of th...

Ingestion of a protein-amino acid mixture (Pro; wheat protein hydrolysate, leucine, and phenylalanine) in combination with carbohydrate (CHO; 0.8 g x kg(-1) x h(-1)) has been shown to increase muscle glycogen synthesis after exercise compared with the same amount of CHO without Pro. The aim of this study was to investigate whether coingestion of Pro also increases muscle glycogen synthesis when...

In combination with propofol, alfentanil was compared with fentanyl for total i.v. anaesthesia in 29 women (ASA classes I, II) admitted for elective hysterectomy. Infusion rates of propofol and fentanyl were determined from the literature and from pilot studies, while alfentanil was given according to a computer program. Dosage was: propofol, bolus 1.5 mg kg-1, infusion 9 mg kg-1 h-1 for 10 min...
