This study was conducted to evaluate the increase of DPPH radical scavenging activity of meat substitute by heating. The meat substitute showed higher DPPH radical scavenging activity than those of other foods rich in protein such as beef, pork, chicken, and soybean curd. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of meat substitute was dependent upon concentration, heating temperature and heating ti...

recent review of suppression by GORINI and BECKWITH (1966) classifies A suppressors in terms df direct (intragenic or informational) and indirect suppression. In the former case the suppressor functions by causing an alteration in the mutated genes usually at the transcriptional or translational level. In the latter case the primary mutational lesion is circumvented without altering the mutated...

Environmentally-friendly (“green”) products face a unique set of market barriers. I develop a dynamic model of observational learning and costly search wherein a green consumer product enters a market to challenge an established “dirty” product. Purchase decisions depend on price and quality differences, consumers’ willingness-to-pay to protect the environment, and the cost of obtaining informa...

International marketing literature indicates that both the global and/or local nature of a brand and image brand’s origin influence consumer attitudes. However, only limited research has examined these influences in combination. This paper contributes to this direction by investigating independent as well interactive effects globalness/localness perceptions country stereotypes. Results from two...

Production of 1,2-propanediol and 1,3-propanediol are identified as methods to reduce glycerol oversupply. Hence, hydrogenolysis is a thermochemical conversion substitute; however, it requires an expensive, high-pressure pure hydrogen supply. Studies have been performed on other potential processes whereby aqueous phase reforming has excellent substitute for the process due its low temperature ...

introduction: solubility of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) is an important characteristic that affects other properties such as microleakage and biocompatibility. distilled water (dw) has previously been used for solubility tests. this experimental study compared the solubility of mta in dw, synthetic tissue fluid (stf) and new simulated plasma (sp). methods and materials: in this study, 36 s...
