The capture, storage and utilization of CO2 through hydrate-related technology is a promising approach to addressing the global warming issue. Dissociation required after transportation gas in form self-preserving hydrate. In order investigate dissociation behaviors as self-preservation effect removed, hydrates were frozen, then was removed uniform heating. An evident dependence hydrate duratio...

More than 124 governmental entities concerned about suburban sprawl and farmland loss have implemented farmland preservation programs preserving 1.67 million acres at a cost of $3.723 billion. Yet little analysis on these programs’ effectiveness in slowing farmland loss has been conducted. Using a unique 50-year 269 county panel data set on preservation programs and farmland loss for six Mid-At...

Semantic substitution errors (e.g., saying "arm" when "leg" is intended) are among the most common types of errors occurring during spontaneous speech. It has been shown that grammatical gender of German target nouns is preserved in the errors (E. Mane, 1999). In 3 experiments, the authors explored different accounts of the grammatical gender preservation effect in German. In all experiments, s...

This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of trimetazidine (TMZ) during cold storage (CS) and the consequence during normothermic reperfusion in an isolated perfused rat kidney model (IPK). IPK was used to assess the rate of perfusion flow, the ratio of ATP to inorganic phosphate (ATP/Pi) as a reflection of the energetic status during reperfusion, intracellular pH (pHi), tissue water con...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of vestibular schwannoma microsurgery via the retrosigmoid-transmeatal approach with special reference to the postoperative tinnitus outcome. MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospective study was performed in 89 consecutive patients with unilateral vestibular schwannoma indicated for microsurgery. Patient and tumor related parameters, pre- and...

The aim of this review is to present an overview of available methods for preservation of ovarian function and fertility in female cancer patients who desire to maintain their child-bearing capacity for future pregnancies. A Medline search was conducted. Published articles from American and European studies from 1976 to present were reviewed. The effect of cancer treatment on the ovary, as well...

Hurdle technology is used in industrialized as well as in developing countries for the gentle but effective preservation of foods. Previously hurdle technology, i.e., a combination of preservation methods, was used empirically without much knowledge of the governing principles. Since about 20 years the intelligent application of hurdle technology became more prevalent, because the principles of...
