DRAGOEV, S. G., 2008. Inhibition of lipid peroxidation of frozen mackerel by pre-storage antioxidant superficial treatment. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 14: 283-289 With the help of TBARS the antioxidative effect of rosemary extract, rutin, quercetin, sodium erythrobate, BHT, α-tocopherol and a blend, containing rosemary extract, quercetin concentrate and sodium erythrobate on the lipid peroxidation o...

During saffron (Crocus sativus) spice production, large amounts of floral biowaste are generated. It was the aim of this study to develop a value-added product from saffron floral biowaste to be used as a natural cosmetic ingredient. HPLC-PDA-MS analysis of saffron flower extracts revealed the presence of flavonols with the highest amounts in the acetone extract. Kaempferol-3-O-sophoroside was ...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com main component of flower color is anthocyanin, a type of flavonoid [1]. Numerous genes involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis have been analyzed in various plants, and their biosynthesis pathways determined [2,3]. In addition to anthocyanins, flavonols and organic acids also play a role in flower color as ‘co-pigments’ [4]. Fragrant cyclamen cultivars...

Standard approachs to belief change assume that the underlying logic contains classical propositional logic. Recently there has been interest in investigating approaches to belief change, specifically contraction, in which the underlying logic is not as expressive as full propositional logic. In this paper we consider approaches to belief contraction in Horn knowledge bases. We develop two broa...

Horn description logics (Horn-DLs) have recently started to attract attention due to the fact that their (worst-case) data complexities are in general lower than their overall (i.e. combined) complexities, which makes them attractive for reasoning with large ABoxes. However, the natural question whether Horn-DLs also provide advantages for TBox reasoning has hardly been addressed so far. In thi...

This paper presents a framework for relevance-based belief change in propositional Horn logic. We firstly establish a parallel interpolation theorem for Horn logic and show that Parikh’s Finest Splitting Theorem holds with Horn formulae. By reformulating Parikh’s relevance criterion in the setting of Horn belief change, we construct a relevance-based partial meet Horn contraction operator and p...

We extend the knowledge compilation map introduced by Darwiche and Marquis with three influential propositional fragments, the Krom CNF one (also known as the bijunctive fragment), the Horn CNF fragment and the affine fragment (also known as the biconditional fragment) as well as seven additional languages based on them, and composed respectively of Krom or Horn CNF formulas, renamable Horn CNF...

BACKGROUND Pregnancy in the rudimentary uterine horn is an extremely rare clinical condition. Treatment includes surgical removal of the rudimentary horn. METHODS A rudimentary horn pregnancy was reported that occurred after intrauterine insemination. Similar cases treated with laparoscopic surgery reported in the peer-reviewed journals were reviewed as well. RESULTS Pregnancy in the right ...

BACKGROUND Children of workers exposed to pesticides are at risk of secondary pesticide exposure. We evaluated the potential for lower acetylcholinesterase activity in children cohabiting with fresh-cut flower plantation workers, which would be expected from organophosphate and carbamate insecticide exposure. Parental home surveys were performed and acetylcholinesterase activity was measured in...

Computer Graphics (CG) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies have rapidly improved in recent years. It enabled us to develop some useful systems such as air hockey, catch ball, tennis and horseback riding for sports field, surgical simulations and support systems for medical field, calligraphy and flower arrangement for educational field. The good training systems have force feedback for users ...
