Encapsulation mechanisms in object-oriented languages have traditionally been based on static type systems. As a consequence, dynamically-typed languages have only limited support for encapsulation. This is surprising, considering that encapsulation is one of the most fundamental and important concepts behind object-oriented programming and that it is essential for writing programs that are mai...

Larvae of the Antarctic midge, Belgica antarctica (Diptera: Chironomidae), are frequently exposed to dehydrating conditions on the Antarctic Peninsula. In this study, we examined how rates and levels of dehydration alter heat and cold tolerance and how these relate to levels of trehalose within the insect. When dehydrated, larvae tolerated cold and heat stress more effectively, although resista...

Water deficit or dehydration is the most crucial environmental factor that limits crop productivity and influences geographical distribution of many crop plants. It is suggested that dehydration-responsive changes in expression of proteins may lead to cellular adaptation against water deficit conditions. Most of the earlier understanding of dehydration-responsive cellular adaptation has evolved...

In order to understand the effect of grain moisture of inbred lines at the silking and physiological maturity stages on kernel dehydration rate, 59 maize inbred lines from six subgroups were selected. Grain moisture was measured and QTLs associated with kernel dehydration were mapped. A rapid dehydration evaluation and association analysis revealed eight inbred lines with faster dehydration rat...

BACKGROUND The clinical dehydration scale (CDS) is a quick, easy-to-use tool with 4 clinical items and a score of 1-8 that serves to classify dehydration in children with gastroenteritis as no, some or moderate/severe dehydration. Studies validating the CDS (Friedman JN) with a comparison group remain elusive. We hypothesized that the CDS correlates with a wide spectrum of established markers o...

saffron essential oil has a pleasant aroma and medicinal activities. however, it is sensible into the environmental condition. therefore, it should be protected against unwanted changes during storage or processing. encapsulation is introduced as a process by which liable materials are protected from unwanted changes. in the present study, different ratios (0:100, 25:75, 50:50, 75:25, and 100:0...

ABSTARCT Encapsulation is a process of enclosing the substances within an inert material which protects from environment as well as control drug release. Recently, two type of encapsulation has been performed in several research. Nanoencapsulation is the coating of various substances within another material at sizes on the nano scale. Microencapsulation is similar to nanoencapsulation aside fro...

Background and Purpose—We aimed to determine the frequency of dehydration, risk factors, and associations with outcomes at hospital discharge after stroke. Methods—We linked clinical data from stroke patients in 2 prospective hospital registers with routine blood urea and creatinine results. Dehydration was defined by a blood urea-to-creatinine ratio 80. Results—Of 2591 patients registered, 160...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We aimed to determine the frequency of dehydration, risk factors, and associations with outcomes at hospital discharge after stroke. METHODS We linked clinical data from stroke patients in 2 prospective hospital registers with routine blood urea and creatinine results. Dehydration was defined by a blood urea-to-creatinine ratio >80. RESULTS Of 2591 patients registered...
