Nitric oxide (NO) is a key mediator that plays an important role in pathogenesis of various chronic diseases like Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Additionally, there is a great attitude for finding natural compounds, which could control and inhibit NO production in pathological conditions. Therefore, we were encouraged to investigate the effects of some Lamiaceae species on NO prod...

Sliced chicken sausages were packed into polyethylene (PE) bags (control samples) and PE covered with active coatings. The sausage slices separated two categories: non-coated spacers the antimicrobial coating. stored at 5 °C examined after 72 h 144 storage times. Results obtained in this work demonstrated that springiness of decreased for all analysed packaging bags/films. Different results sto...

The last years have seen the widespread diffusion of novel Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN ) technologies, which are gaining momentum and commercial interest as enabling technologies for the Internet of Things. In this paper we discuss some of the most interesting LPWAN solutions, focusing in particular on LoRa TM , one of the last born and most promising technologies for the wide-area IoT.

Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (Lamiaceae) is the source of the well-known traditional Chinese medicine "HuangQin" (Radix Scutellariae). Natural sources of S. baicalensis are rapidly declining due to high market demand and overexploitation. Moreover, the commercial products of Radix Scutellariae have often been found to contain adulterants in recent years, which may give rise to issues regardin...

The dried aerial parts of scutellaria lateriflora L. (family Labiatae), have been used for many years as a domestic remedy for epilepsy, hysteria, and nervous tension states. Although several phytochemical investigations have been made regarding the constituents present in this species (i. e. flavonoids, iridoids), none has been recorded concerning the cuticular wax. Using thin-layer chroma...

Effects of dietary Scutellaria baicalensis extract (SBE) on growth, feed utilization and challenge test of olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) were determined. Six hundred thirty fish averaging 5.0 g were distributed into 18, 180-L tanks. Six experimental diets were prepared in triplicate: SBE-0, SBE-0.5, SBE-1, SBE-2, SBE-3 and SBE-5 diets containing SBE at the concentrations of 0, 0.5, 1,...

Physical-layer security (PLS) schemes use the randomness of channel parameters, namely, state information (CSI) and received signal strength indicator (RSSI) to generate secret keys. There has been limited work in PLS long-range (LoRa) wide-area networks (LoRaWANs) which hinder their widespread application. Limitations observed existing studies include requirement high correlation between param...
