BACKGROUND Salvia seeds are promite to dietary and healthy oils because they contain essential fatty acids. Salvia seeds frequently produce mucilage on soaking, and this mucilage is used for the treatment of eye diseases in eastern countries. Salvia species studied for medicine, food and cosmetics, have the potential to be used in the various fields. In the present study, selected engineering (...

More than a thousand varieties of mango (Mangifera indica L.) are grown in India. Their quality attributes not only differed altogether but also depends on their maturity and storage after harvest. An experiment four harvested at pre-, optimum, over-maturity stages from different orchards was conducted this study. The effect harvest stage, interactions external diameters, arithmetic geometric m...

OBJECTIVES We sought to evaluate the geometric changes of the mitral leaflets, local and global LV remodeling in patients with left ventricular dysfunction and varying degrees of Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR). BACKGROUND Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) occurs as a consequence of systolic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction caused by ischemic or nonischemic cardiomyopathy. Mitral v...

The Engineering data of tiger nut cultivated in Africa is high importance facilitating the design machineries for its effective and efficient cultivation, processing, handling, storage, postharvest activities general. This study aimed at determining modeling physical compressive test properties nuts as influenced by size, moisture level loading pattern. Applying Standard procedures a 3,4,3 resp...

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to document the trend in blood lead levels in Korean lead workers from 2003 until 2011 and blood lead levels within each of the main industries. METHODS Nine years (2003-2011) of blood lead level data measured during a special health examination of Korean lead workers and collected by the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency were analyzed. Blood lead levels ...

BACKGROUND Children's exposure to lead poses a significant risk for neurobehavioral consequences. Existing studies documented lead contamination in residential soil in mining and smelting communities in Armenia. This study aimed to assess blood lead levels (BLL) in children living in three communities in Armenia adjacent to metal mining and smelting industries, and related risk factors. METHO...

A mechanism for the geometric difference between young and old human red blood cells is proposed. It is assumed that the bone marrow produces a population of cells with a range of sizes and shapes, but only those cells which can pass through a theoretical 3.65//, cylindrical channel survive in the circulation. The important geometric parameters of an erythrocyte are the area and the volume. We ...
