The antimalarial artemisinin, the active principle of the plant Artemisia annua L., was extracted by Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE). Soxhlet extraction was studied as comparison processes. The extracts were analyzed by the indirect method GC-FID. The maximal extraction yield (1.82%DW) was obtained by SFE at T=40°C, P=200bar, CO2flow=4.5g/min, and 20% ethanol as modifier. The artemisinin e...

A method is developed for the determination of melengestrol acetate in bovine fat tissue at or less than the established tolerance level of 25 ppb. The procedure uses a combination of supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and solid-phase extraction (SPE) techniques to produce an extract suitable for analysis with either high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection or gas chr...

In recent years, the hierarchical taxonomy integration problem has obtained considerable attention in many research studies. Many types of implicit information embedded in the source taxonomy are explored to improve the integration performance. The semantic information embedded in the source taxonomy, however, has not been discussed in previous research. In this paper, an enhanced integration a...

Supercritical fluid SF-CO2 treatment of Rosemarinus officinalis L. fresh leaves under optimum conditions (80 degrees C at 5,000 psi) yielded 5.3% of extract supercritical fluid extraction (SFE)-80, in which five major active principles were identified by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS), viz., rosmarinic acid, carnosol, 12-methoxycarnosic acid, carnosic acid, and methyl carnosate...

Garbling schemes allow to construct two-party function evaluation with security against cheating parties (SFE). To achieve this goal, one party (the Garbler) sends multiple encodings of a circuit (called Garbled Circuits) to the other party (the Evaluator) and opens a subset of these encodings, showing that they were generated honestly. For the remaining garbled circuits, the garbler sends enco...

Polyurethane elastomers coating were synthesised by using typical diisocyanates, polyether and polyester polyols and HO-tertiary amines or diols as a chain extenders. Mole fractions of structural fragments (κexp) responsible for the polar interactions within polyurethane chains were calculated by 1H NMR method. Obtained results were confronted with the analogous parameter values (κtheor) calcul...

Two-party secure-function evaluation (SFE) has become significantly more feasible, even on resource-constrained devices, because of advances in server-aided computation systems. However, there are still bottlenecks, particularly in the input-validation stage of a computation. Moreover, SFE research has not yet devoted sufficient attention to the important problem of retaining state after a comp...

BACKGROUND Deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) is one of the best-documented bone substitute materials for sinus floor elevation (SFE). PURPOSE DBBM is available in two particle sizes. Large particles are believed to facilitate improved neoangiogenesis compared with small ones. However, their impact on the rate of new bone formation, osteoconduction, and DBBM degradation has never been r...

Secure Evaluation of Private Functions (PF-SFE) allows two parties to compute a private function which is known by one party only on private data of both. It is known that PF-SFE can be reduced to Secure Function Evaluation (SFE) of a Universal Circuit (UC). Previous UC constructions only simulated circuits with gates of d = 2 inputs while gates with d > 2 inputs were decomposed into many gates...

The immune system plays an important role in maintaining and protecting human health. In the present study, comparison of immuno-modulatory activities between polysaccharides (SFP) and ethanol (SFE) extracts separated from Sargassum fulvellum in macrophages and murine splenocytes were investigated. Immuno-modulatory activities of macrophages were estimated based on cell proliferation, nitric ox...
