In this study, demineralization of cheese whey by sequential nanofltration (NF) and electrodialysis (ED) methods was investigated. For the NF step, two NF membranes labeled as NF-270 and NF-90 were tested. Approximately 90% of protein and lactose rejections were obtained with partial demineralization during NF step. For full demineralization of the NF permeate, NF follo...

Abstract Background Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) may affect all cardiac structures, including the valves. Methods From 423 patients undergoing a diagnostic workup for CA we selected 2 samples of 20 with amyloid transthyretin (ATTR-) or light-chain (AL-) CA, and age- sex-matched controls. We chose 31 echocardiographic items related to mitral, aortic tricuspid valves, giving value 1 each abnormal ite...

Lake Bafa is one of the biggest lake in western part Turkey. It has a great importance terms both historical and biodiversity. which was fed by Büyük Menderes River become an area where pollutant factors carried river accumulated over time. In this context, complex physicochemical characteristics were evaluated water quality classes determined order to constitute monitoring pattern. research, s...

according to the unccd definition, “desertification” is land degradation in arid, semi-aridand dry sub-humid areas resulting from various factors, including climatic variations andhuman activities. it has been recognized as a major economic, social, and environmentalproblem in many countries of the world. the medalus methodology is a practical approachto assess the present status of desertifica...

This study was conducted to compare: (1) protein chemical characteristics, including the amide I and II region, as well as protein secondary structure; and (2) carbohydrate internal structure and functional groups spectral intensities between the frost damaged wheat and normal wheat using synchrotron radiation-based Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy (SR-FTIRM). Fingerprint regions of...

Carbon emissions are closely related to global warming. More than 70% of carbon have been generated in cities. Many studies analyzed the effects cities on emissions, from perspective urbanization, economics, and land use, yet a detailed understanding relationship between urban form is lacking due absence reasonable set metrics. The aim this research explore through empirical research. By elimin...

Sphingolipids comprise a very important class of second messengers involved in cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis, among other different functions. Recently, these lipids have been implicated in calcium mobilization in different cell lines, including Jurkat T-lymphocytes. However, the effect of each particular sphingolipid appears to be cell-line specific. Among them, the least studied...

In this paper, a multi-area Automatic Generation Control (AGC) scheme with Renewable Energy Sources (RES) suitable in a restructured interconnected power system has been proposed. Photo-voltaic and wind turbine generating system has been integrated with the grid. The developed scheme has been investigated for frequency control with and without RES units. A PID controller has been used to contro...

Members of class II of the HKT transporters, which have thus far only been isolated from grasses, were found to mediate Na(+)-K(+) cotransport and at high Na(+) concentrations preferred Na(+)-selective transport, depending on the ionic conditions. But the physiological functions of this K(+)-transporting class II of HKT transporters remain unknown in plants, with the exception of the unique cla...
