A complete diallel cross of nine cotton genotypes (Gossypium hirsutum L. & Gossypium barbadense L.) viz Delinter, Sindose-80, Omoumi, Bulgare-539, Termez-14, Red leaf (Native species), B-557, Brown fiber and Siokra-324 having diverse genetic origins was conducted over two years to determine the potential for the improvement of yield, its components, oil and fiber qual...

At room temperature and atmospheric pressure, atoms travel hundreds of meters per second and collide frequently with one another and their surroundings. Although this unceasing thermal motion keeps us warm, it causes serious problems for anyone trying to probe the internal state of an atom. To reduce the deleterious effects of atomic motion, experimentalists often rely on optical fields to trap...

Because of the limitations of existing methods and techniques for directly obtaining real-time blood data, no accurate microflow in vivo real-time analysis method exists. To establish a novel technical platform for real-time in vivo detection and to analyze average blood pressure and other blood flow parameters, a small, accurate, flexible, and nontoxic Fabry-Perot fiber sensor was designed. Th...

A large diameter triaxial sample of 61.9 mm was made by adding coir fiber into red clay. The range confining pressure 50–200 kPa; content 0.1%–0.4%; and length 10–40 mm. By varying the pressure, length, unconsolidated undrained tests were used to study shear strength variation law fiber-reinforced soil. experimental data processed establish a linear model segmental elastic modulus, analysis det...

Abstract This study aim to develop the potential of local food into functional breakfast cereal products that are high in energy and rich dietary fiber, as an alternative for individuals with diabetes. The sample formulation is a factorial experimental using Randomized Block Design. factors proportion composite flour consisting black rice, porang, jack bean also addition red dragon fruit concen...

An immunocytochemical approach was used to localize myosin with respect to individual fibers in rat skeletal muscle. Transverse cryostat sections of rat diaphragm, a fast-twitch muscle, were exposed to fluorescein-labeled immunoglobulin against purified chicken pectoralis myosin. Fluorescence microscopy revealed a differential response among fiber types, identified on the basis of mitochondrial...

Red meat is associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer and increases the endogenous formation of N-nitrosocompounds (NOC). To investigate the genotoxic effects of NOC arising from red meat consumption, human volunteers were fed high (420 g) red meat, vegetarian, and high red meat, highfiber diets for 15 days in a randomized crossover design while living in a volunteer suite, where food...

BALDWIN, K. M., G. H. KLINKERFUSS, R. L. TERJUNG, P. A MOLI?, AND J. 0. HOLLOSZY. Respiratory capacity of white, red, and intermediate muscle: adaptive response to exercise. Am. J. Physiol. 222(2): 373-378. 1972.-A program of running can result in a twofold increase in the respiratory capacity of mixed muscles such as the gastrocnemius and quadriceps in the rat. This study was undertaken to det...

The time- and orientational-dependence of phosphocreatine (PCr) diffusion was measured using pulsed-field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance (PFG-NMR) as a means of non-invasively probing the intracellular diffusive barriers of skeletal muscle. Red and white skeletal muscle from fish was used because fish muscle cells are very large, which facilitates the examination of diffusional barriers in...

The mechanism of light reflection in blood, which is the underlying principle for the use of fiber optics in in vivo densitometry or oximetry, was investigated theoretically and experimentally using bovine blood. The results are summarized as follows. 1) Theoretically, the intensity of light reflected, I, was represented by a formula: I=lo•~e-2KC•~[(1-P)•~r•~a, where I, K, C, p, and a were inci...
