In the digital era, large archives of information and Internet accessibility make search, including image easier affordable, even from remote locations. Information transmission sharing can be performed instantly, at any moment. case images, there are risks transmitting recklessly intentionally modified images. Such images also transmitted used as an additional source by followers. this study, ...

an experiment was conducted to determine the aging mechanism in safflower seed using natural aging treatment (storing seed at room temperature for six years) and accelerated aging ( incubating the seed at 41?c and close to 100% relative humidity for 4 ,8 and 12 days). the results indicated that both natural and accelerated aging reduced germination percentage, seed vigor and activity of catalas...

High performance polymers like PEEK (polyetheretherketone) and FRC (fiberreinforced composite) could substitute metallic alloys for removable partial dentures. However, these require aesthetic veneering. This study was to determine the bond strength direct composite. Specimens made of were produced air-abraded (50 μm aluminum-oxide). allocated four experimental groups: Luxatemp Glaze & Bond, Sc...

Aluminum alloy 6201 is a wrought, heat-treatable alloy, which used in electricity transmission and distribution lines. The processed commercial continuous casting rolling system, includes series of in-line thermomechanical processes involving hot working, quenching, cold working artificial aging. In this study following the subjected to solution heat treatment at 510 °C for an hour, quenched ic...

Magnesium alloys are promising candidates for biodegradable medical implants which reduce the necessity of second surgery to remove the implants. Yttrium in solid solution is an attractive alloying element because it improves mechanical properties and exhibits suitable corrosion properties. Silver was shown to have an antibacterial effect and can also enhance the mechanical properties of magnes...

background: aging contains morphological and functional deterioration in biological systems. d-galactose (d-gal) generates free radicals and accelerates aging. portulaca oleracea (purslane) may have protective effect against oxidative stress. objective: purslane ethanolic extract effects were evaluated on antioxidant indices and sex hormone in d-gal aging female mice. materials and methods: 48 ...

Potato tubers (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Binje) were stored at 18 and 4oC in order to verify changes in mitochondrial metabolism, especially in the activities of the alternative oxidase (AOX) and plant uncoupling mitochondria protein (PUMP). Tubers were also sliced and submitted to artificial aging. The oxygen consumption rate (OCR), respiratory control (RC) and ADP/O ratio for mitochondria obta...

The performances of outdoor polymeric insulators are influenced by environmental conditions. The use of polymeric materials in a particular composition can be produced insulators that are resistant to environmental influences. This paper presents the effect of artificial tropical climate on the hydrophobicity, equivalent salt deposit density (ESDD), surface leakage current, flashover voltage, a...

Background: In 2005, the Italian Society for Artificial Nutrition and Metabolism carried out a national survey on the prevalence of home artificial nutrition (HAN), enteral (HEN) and parenteral (HPN). A second survey was carried out in 2012 to investigate the development of HAN in Italy. Methods: The Local Health Care Units (LHCUs) were required to record the ongoing cases of HAN using a struct...

Glycation is a non-enzymatic reaction between the carbonyl groups of sugars and the amino groups of proteins, nucleic acids and lipids. This process results in the formation of early glycation products, which rearrange to form more stable advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Glycation has been linked to a number of diseases such as, Alzheimer’s, diabetes mellitus, cataract, Parkinson’s, phys...
