Bovine plasma was inoculated with porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) at an average final titer of 4.2 log10 TCID50/mL to determine the effect of spray drying on viral inactivation. Using a laboratory scale drier, inoculated plasma was spray dried at 200 °C inlet temperature and either 70 or 80 °C throughout substance. Both liquid and dried samples were subjected to three passages on VERO ce...

The purpose of the present work was to characterize the possible inhibition of pancreatic lipase by a tannin-rich extract obtained from the pinhão (Araucaria angustifolia seed) coat, based on the previous observation that this preparation inhibits α-amylases. Kinetic measurements of pancreatic lipase revealed that the pinhão coat tannin is an effective inhibitor. Inhibition was of the parabolic...

Impressive gains have been made in thermal spray coatings through material development and coating parameter selection. Nevertheless, it is usually up to shop personnel to develop a robot program to achieve the final coating. Coating programs are often developed using trial and error. Some motion and deposit analysis programs are available [1], [2]. However, they can be costly and require a lev...

The ability of composite materials to penetrate into business sectors dominated by other construction materials has been limited by a cost-effective means of achieving acceptable performance characteristics with current gel coat technologies. In many cases, the limiting factor has been the gel coats ability to retain its original color and gloss upon continual ultraviolet exposure as compared t...

BACKGROUND In the present study, different methods for preparation of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) are investigated in order to standardize the component in terms of growth factor content. The effects of concentration technique and storage duration are also analyzed. METHODS PRP was collected from 40 donors by plateletpheresis as well as by the buffy coat and tube method. Concentration of growt...

background: platelet preparations have been used for a wide variety of clinical applications such as hemorrhage, tissue engineering and cellular therapy. platelet concentrates can be prepared by the apheresis method or from the whole blood using the buffy-coat or platelet-rich plasma methods. the purpose of this study was to compare four variations of platelet-rich plasma method based on double...

In this work, hydroxyapatite/silica nanopowders were granulated to fabricate plasma sprayable feedstocks. For this purpose, the wet powders obtained by heating a hydroxyapatite/silica slurry were stirred and sieved. To realize the feedstock application in the plasma spray process, powders were deposited on titanium substrate. The morphology of granulated feedstock and sprayed coating was ...

Robots are being increasingly utilized for various operations in industrial and household applications. One such application is spray painting, wherein atomized paint particles sprayed on a surface to coat the with paint. As there different models of robots available job, it becomes crucial select best among them. Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques widely used fields tackle select...

In growing cells infected by wild-type coliphage M13, the synthesis of procoat protein is completed before it inserts into the plasma membrane ane is converted to coat protein.

Previous research showed that nursery pigs fed deoxynivalenol (DON) contaminated diets supplemented with spray-dried porcine plasma (SDPP) had similar growth rate and feed intake as those consuming noncontaminated diets. In this study, two blocks of 100 weanling pigs were used to determine the optimal inclusion level of spray-dried bovine plasma(SDBP) required in nursery diets contaminated with...
