INTRODUCTION Heart rate variability and resting metabolic rate are commonly to assess athlete's physiological status and energy requirements. Exercise-induced dehydration can reach up to 5% of body mass per hour. Consequently, dehydration may have a profound physiological effect on human's homeostasis. OBJECTIVES To compare the effects of dehydration and rehydration after exercise on heart ra...

A novel negatively thermo-sensitive and biodegradable microgel was prepared by combination of macromer synthesis and inverse suspension polymerization. A new post-fabrication encapsulation technique based upon this kind of intelligent microgel was developed. Model proteins (hemoglobin, bovine serum albumin and insulin) were encapsulated into the microgels at 4 degrees C and released in vitro at...

Research regarding the effects of encapsulation on soldier performance is critical for achieving effective mission performance as well as the survivability capabilities of dismounted soldiers of the Future Force. Soldier encapsulation is defined as enclosing the soldier’s body in such a manner that all skin is protected from exposure to the elements of the battlefield. The objective of this res...

the purpose of this study was to optimize a method for the encapsulation of p5 peptide, a new designed peptide containing mhc class i epitopes from rat her2/neu protein, into liposomes as an approach for breast cancer vaccine formulation. the efficiency of liposomal encapsulation of peptides is generally low and development of an optimized method to increase encapsulation efficiency is a big ch...

combination formulations of liposomes with collagen have been previously introduced as a means of obtaining more stable and less permeable liposomes. in this study, the effect of aqueous solutions of the collagen products collapur? (col) and collapuron-dak? (cold) from henkle co., on the release rate of sodium chromate (chr) as a water-soluble model drug from stable plurilamellar vesicles (splv...

conclusions b. subtilis entrapped in beads was able to preserve its viability and produce biosurfactants as secondary metabolites. therefore, this method could be applied as a continuous culture system of biosurfactant production. methods alginate and bacterial solutions were mixed by stirring to obtain a uniform mixture and added by drops into cacl2 solution to form spherical beads. the spheri...

horseradish peroxidase was encapsulated in calcium alginate for the purpose of phenol removal. considering enzyme encapsulation efficiency, retention activity and enzyme leakage of the capsules, the best gelation condition was found to be 1 % w/v of sodium alginate solution and 5.5 % w/v of calcium chloride hexahydrate. upon immobilization, ph profile of enzyme activity changes as it shows high...

Encapsulation has received considerable interest in the context of object-oriented programming. In particular the encapsulation of objects that are composed through inheritance has been discussed repeatedly [Snyder 86, Micallef 88]. Aspect-oriented composition has similar considerations. However, most approaches to aspect-orientation or multi-dimensional composition of concerns do not enforce e...
