two probiotic bacteria (lb. acidophilus and b. lactis) were immobilized on the alginate coat of strawberry pieces and were added to the prepared sweet non fat dietary stirred yogurt. physico-chemical parameters namely ph value, titratable acidity and synersis along with the viability of probiotic bacteria of the samples were evaluated over the 8 days of storage at 5 ºc at 2 day intervals. a sig...

The use of ultrasonically activated scalpel for tissue cutting and coagulation is a potential replacement for electrosurgery, which can be related to different complications. Its working principle is to transform the electric power into the mechanical longitudinal movement of the working part of the instrument, by a piezoelectric transducer situated in the hand piece. Between October 2000 and J...

An efficient and experimentally rapid protocol for the synthesis of hitherto unreported 2,3-dicarboalkoxy-4-aroyl/heteroaroyl/alkanoyl thiophenes has been developed via 1-2 (C-S) and 3-4 (C-C) bond connections promoted by 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP). Optimally, the reaction takes only 3-5 min when β-oxodithioester and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate are stirred in DCM at room temperature in t...

Experiments Most publications of velocity measurements in stirred tanks concern measurements in single-phase flows. An excellent review of these studies was made by Ranade and Joshi (1990a). Literature concerning velocity measurements in aerated stirred tanks is scarcer however. An overview of literature is given in Table 1. Lu and Ju (1987) used constant temperature anemometry (CTA) in order t...

modified bubble column extraction with ultrasonic bath (bce-ub) method was used to extract atropine from the stem and leaves of atropa belladonna. optimum condition were obtained with kamada solvent which was chloroform-methanol-ammonia 15:15:1(v/v/v) as extraction solvent, the particle size of  less than  350 µm, an extraction time of 23.95 min, a liquor to material ratio of 15.08 ml/g and  an...

The relationship between surface transfer impedance and stirred mode chamber shielding effectiveness proposed by Eicher and Boillot has been simplified. This simplified relationship was used to compare the measured stirred mode chamber shielding effectiveness of nine shielding artifacts with the shielding effectiveness of the same samples calculated from transfer impedance measurements made at ...

The demand for high performance cast aluminum alloy components is often disturbed by increasing impurity elements, such as iron accumulated from recycled scraps. It is strongly required that coarse plate-like iron compound of β-Al5FeSi turns into harmless form without the need for applying refining additives or expensive virgin ingots. The microstructural modification of Al-7mass%Si alloy bille...

Title of Thesis: In Vivo Evaluation of Contemporary Endodontic Antimicrobial Procedures Peter Bellingham, Master of Science, 2011 Thesis Directed by: Dr. Ashraf F. Fouad, Professor and Chairman, Director of Postgraduate Endodontics, University of Maryland School of Dentistry Introduction: Clinical assessment of the efficacy of novel root canal disinfection protocols is an important focus in end...

The polymyxins form a group of closely related strongly basic cyclicpeptide antibiotics with a rather specific activity against gram-negative bacteria. The most well-known and commercially produced members are poly-myxin B and E (colistin). These two consists of polymyxin B1, B2, B3 and E1, E2, E " the single components of them differing only in the fatty acid moiety of the side chain attached ...
