Abstract Owing to their unique characteristic of direct mechanical‐to‐optical energy conversion, mechanoluminescence (ML) crystals have drawn considerable interest for visible stress sensing, flexible and stretchable displays, advanced anti‐counterfeiting. However, among the emissions synthetic ML materials, high‐performance red‐emission semiconductors with ideal color‐rendering indices are rel...

The characteristics of manganese and iron binding to human apotransferrin (apo-tf) have been investigated and compared in this study. Both metal ions were taken up by human apo-tf and formed complexes, with the maximum absorbances observed at 410 and 340 nm for manganese-transferrin (Mn-tf) and 465 nm for iron-transferrin (Fe-tf). Addition of manganese (1.5 µg/ml) to the reaction mixture contai...

We examined the effect of dextran (molecular weight 71,000) in counteracting the surfactant inhibitory action of plasma albumin. The surface adsorption time of 0.5 mg/ml modified natural surfactant (MNS; porcine lung extract consisting of phospholipids and hydrophobic surfactant proteins) with 7.5 mg/ml albumin decreased from 681 to 143 s by addition of dextran at a concentration of 10 mg/ml (P...

Many parts of Musa balbisiana have been used widely in traditional medicine, food, or cosmetic purposes. The present study is aimed at obtaining the extract-enriching bioactive compounds from M. and determining activities extract. Total polyphenols saponins extracts were quantified. response surface method (RSM) was to optimize extraction with methanol support. optimal conditions 120 min 65°C m...

A large part of the cytoplasm of the cells consists of components forming cytoskeleton. The constituents of the cytoskeleton in epithelial cells are actin-containing microfilaments, tubulin-containing microtubules and intermediate size filaments. The intermediate filaments are called as cytokeratins (CK). Thus, cytokeratins are a family of many different filamentforming proteins (polypeptides) ...

Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) are two technologies used to extract representations of the data for a specific purpose. ML algorithms take a set of data as input to generate one or several predictions. To define the final version of one model, usually there is an initial step devoted to train the algorithm (get the right final values of the parameters of the model). There are seve...
