some physical properties and chemical compositions of two cultivars (semsouri and shahabadi) of cantaloupe studied during four different stages of maturity from fruit set to completely ripe. the physical properties investigated were the geometric mean diameter (gmd), specific gravity (sg), mean firmness (mf), rind, seed (%) and flesh (%). the chemical compositions were brix, titrable acidity (t...

Southern yellow pine wood chips were used as the feedstock for a pilot-scale gasification unit coupled with a 25 kW generator. The pulp-grade wood chips were relatively free of bark and low in ash content. Processing this feedstock yielded a black/sooty byproduct that upon combustion in a muffle furnace resulted in an ash content of about 48%. The term ―char ash‖ was coined to account for the t...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effects of a herbal formula, PerioH-035, containing Angelica sinensis, steamed Rehmannia glutinosa, Angelica dahurica, Cimicifuga heracleifolia, and Zanthoxylum piperitum on the periodontal breakdown in a well-established ligature-induced periodontitis model in rats. METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 g...

An experiment was conducted to examine the digestible energy (DE) content for weanling pigs in a cohort of wheats grown in Western Australia, and to establish relationships between DE content and their chemical composition. The 3 ✕ 3 ✕ 2 factorial experiment examined the wheat variety (Arrino, Stiletto and Westonia), growing location (high, medium and low rainfall zone) and harvest year (1999 a...

Concrete with gangue which made with ordinary Portland cement at different water binder ratio (0.35, 0.40 and 0.45) or ordinary Portland cement at water binder ratio of 0.35 incorporating 10% fly ash or 20% fly ash; 20% fly ash and 1% early strength agent, slag with the replacement of 15% or 30%, or 15% fly ash and 15% slag were made and exposed to a wetting–drying sulfate environment. The comp...

from Bone 15 (4) 393-399 1994 Sodium fluoride has for more than 2 decades been a commonly used therapeutic agent for established osteoporosis because of a repeatedly documented anabolic effect on trabecular bone mass. Recently, however, three controlled trials have failed to demonstrate any therapeutic advantage of NaF over placebo with respect to vertebral fracture rate. Also, there have been ...
