Background & Aim: This experiment was conducted to examine the effect of different levels of Echinacea purpurea (EP) in comparison with an antibiotic (flavofosfolipol) on total antioxidant activity (AOA) in serum of broiler chicks. Experimental: In this trial 240 one-day-old broiler chicks (Ross 308) were weighed and randomly assigned to the 5 treatment groups, each with 4 re...

A new integer sequence defined on the basis of the EP numbers is introduced (A117570). The EP numbers are defined as ( ) ( )( ) Q P C B A Q Pb Cb Bb Ab x EP n n n + + + + + + + + + + = − − L L 2 1 , where , e non-negative integers and b is the base. We illustrate some general characteristics of EP numbers and the EP sequence. We observe the existence of pairs of consecutive EP numbers (twin EP ...

Exact inference in the linear regression model with spike and slab priors is often intractable. Expectation propagation (EP) can be used for approximate inference. However, the regular sequential form of EP (R-EP) may fail to converge in this model when the size of the training set is very small. As an alternative, we propose a provably convergent EP algorithm (PC-EP). PC-EP is proved to minimi...

Abstract We study the thermodynamics of open systems weakly driven out-of-equilibrium by nonconservative and time-dependent forces using linear regime stochastic thermodynamics. make use conservation laws to identify potential components forces. This allows us formulate a unified near-equilibrium For nonequilibrium steady states, we obtain an Onsager theory ensuring nonsingular response matrice...

The processes discussed in this talk were ep → eMp, ep → eγp, and ep → eμμp, all in the deep-inelastic region where Q is large. The factorization theorems that I will discuss provide a sound basis for the phenomenology of these processes, which was discussed extensively at this workshop. They express the amplitudes for the processes in terms of operator matrix elements and perturbatively calcul...

in this paper, a nanostructured modified electrode was fabricated by incorporating of 2,2′-[1,9-nonanediylbis(nitriloethylidyne)]-bis-hydroquinone (nnh) as a newly synthesized modifier and tio2 nanoparticles to the carbon paste (mtcpe) and then was used for the electroanalysis of epinephrine (ep). the electrochemical studies were carried out by using cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry and di...

PURPOSE To investigate whether inhalation of ethyl pyruvate (EP) encapsulated with poly(ethylene glycol)-block-lactide/glycolide copolymer nanoparticles (EP-NPs) can prevent the development of shunt-flow-induced hyperkinetic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in a rat model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Rats were separated into five groups: blank (ie, no treatment after shunt flow), normal contro...

Erythropoietin (EP) mRNA was measured in normal and anemic mice during fetal and postnatal development. Normal fetal livers at 14 d of gestation contained a low level of EP mRNA. By day 19 of gestation, no EP mRNA was detected in normal or anemic fetal livers or normal fetal kidneys, but anemic fetal kidneys had low levels of EP mRNA. Newborn through adult stage mice responded to anemia by accu...

Three-dimensional (3D) printing of pharmaceuticals has the potential to revolutionise personalised medicine but is as yet largely unexplored. A proof-of-concept study a novel heated, piston-driven semi-solid extrusion 3D printer was performed by producing furosemide and sildenafil tablets for paediatric patients. The average weight 141.1 mg (RSD 1.26%). acceptance values content uniformity were...
