abstract- in this study, texture profile analysis and a creep test were used to determine the textural quality attributes of fish protein isolates and conventional surimi. these isolates were made from raw materials obtained from filleting processes of silver carp (hypophthalmichthys molitrix) using acid and alkaline aided treatments. texture profile analysis was performed in order to obtain ha...

In the northern hardwood region of North America managing for late-successional forest habitats and functions is an important element of ecosystem management. This study tests the hypothesis that uneven-aged practices can be modified to accelerate rates of late-successional forest development. An approach, termed ‘‘structural complexity enhancement’’ (SCE), is compared against conventional unev...

Forest management practices emphasizing stand structural complexity are of interest across the northern forest region of the United States because of their potential to enhance carbon storage. Our research is nested within a long-term study evaluating how silvicultural treatments promoting late-successional forest characteristics affect aboveground biomass development in northern hardwood fores...

Little is known about the effect of management practices on net global warming potential (GWP) and greenhouse gas intensity (GHGI) that account for all sources and sinks of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in dryland cropping systems. The objective of this study was to compare the effect of a combination of tillage, cropping system, and N fertilization on GWP and GHGI under dryland cropping syste...

the effect of the organic, integrated and conventional methods of kiwifruit cv. 'hayward' production on the fruit quality at its harvest time was investigated. such traits as fruit size, firmness, total soluble solids (tss), titratable acidity (ta), total chlorophyll, total carotenoids, vitamin c, total phenol, flavonoid compounds (catechin, quercetin 3-glucoside and chlorogenic acid)...

sugarcane is cultivated in extensive areas in khuzestan it is irrigated through hydro-flume and in furrows. for an evaluation of the effect of deficit- irrigation on sugarcane yield, this experiment was conducted. the treatments consisted of the conventional irrigation method (blank), variable, every other irrigation, (by alternative furrows) and invariable every other irrigation (by fixing the...

Background The better understanding of systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (sJIA) pathogenesis and availability new drugs, such as biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) specifically dedicated to sJIA, have led treatment advances that ameliorated the disease outcome reduced use glucocorticoids. However, published evidence on long term safety data regarding therapies in sJI...

BACKGROUND Evaluation of disease severity is considered essential in the optimal management of psoriasis. OBJECTIVES To describe the clinical characteristics and therapeutic profile of patients with moderate to severe psoriasis in Spain and to assess the impact of the disease on the patients' quality of life. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was an observational, cross-sectional study carried out...
