Chronic pancreatitis is characterized by longterm progressive inflammation of the pancreatic gland, leading to permanent deterioration of its structure and to development of malabsorption, debilitating pain and diabetes mellitus. The annual incidence of the disease has been estimated to 5-10 per 100,000 persons in Western countries. The persistent pancreatic inflammation also confers a high ris...

Losy osób ocalonych z Holocaustu cieszą się niesłabnącym zainteresowaniem badaczy, którzy na łamach swoich publikacji postanawiają oddać głos bezpośrednim świadkom tragicznych wydarzeń II wojny światowej. Cel ten przyświecał także Annie Bikont, która w pracy Cena. W poszukiwaniu żydowskich dzieci po wojnie przedstawiła historie wyratowanych Zagłady. Niniejszy artykuł stanowi próbę omówienia i o...

The goal of the study reported in the paper was to determine whether rendering style (non-photorealistic versus realistic) has an effect on perception of American Sign Language (ASL) finger spelling animations. Sixty-nine (69) subjects participated in the experiment; all subjects were ASL users. The participants were asked to watch forty (40) sign language animation clips representing twenty (2...

BACKGROUND Thermochemical pretreatment of lignocellulose is crucial to bioconversion in the fields of biorefinery and biofuels. However, the enzyme inhibitors in pretreatment hydrolysate make solid substrate washing and hydrolysate detoxification indispensable prior to enzymatic hydrolysis. Sulfite pretreatment to overcome recalcitrance of lignocelluloses (SPORL) is a relatively new process, bu...

The impact of colonic fermentation on postileal absorption of Ca, Mg, P, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn was investigated in 8 ileally cannulated grower pigs (initial BW = 29.1 ± 1.6 kg) according to a double 4 × 4 Latin square. A semi-purified diet was supplemented with 5.20% low viscous, low fermentable cellulose (CEL), 6.25% high viscous, low fermentable carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), 8.95% low viscous, h...
