AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Several studies have shown that adiponectin can lower blood glucose in diabetic mice. The aim of this study was to establish an effective adiponectin production process and to evaluate the anti-diabetic potential of the different adiponectin forms in diabetic mice and sand rats. METHODS Human high molecular weight, mouse low molecular weight and mouse plus human globular adipo...

We report about the recent results for sand p-wave pion production in NN → NNπ within effective field theory and discuss how the charge symmetry breaking in pn → dπ 0 can be used to extract the strong contribution to the neutron-proton mass difference.

The presence of clay-sized particles and clay minerals in modern sands and ancient sandstones has long presented an interesting problem, because primary depositional processes tend to lead to physical separation of fineand coarse-grained materials. Numerous processes have been invoked to explain the common presence of clay minerals in sandstones, including infiltration, the codeposition of floc...

N-Viro Soil (NVS) is an alkaline-stabilized municipal biosolid that has been shown to lower population densities and reduce egg hatch of Heterodera glycines and other plant-parasitic nematodes; but the mechanism(s) of nematode suppression of this soil amendment are unknown. This study sought to identify NVS-mediated changes in soil chemical properties and their impact upon H. glycines and Meloi...

Based on experiments of C30 concrete with manufactured sand, this paper studied the workability and compressive strength sand 7 different fineness modulus weight fractions (0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, 10%) stone powder. The results show that powder content in gradation parameters have great effects performance. When is about 2.8, can be improved. As increases, firstly increase then decrease, optimal fr...

A study on behaviour of trace organic compounds (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, PAH, and Polychlorinated Biphenyls, PCB) in a sand-plant system has been carried out, with the reclamation of wastewater treatment plant biosolids for agriculture in mind. Carrot plants (Daucus carota) were grown on soilless culture (sand), to provide optimal transfer conditions, in plant containers inside a temp...
