Epidemiological studies have observed a negative association between tomato intake and the incidence of cardiovascular disease. As tomato sauces are usually cooked with the addition of oil, some studies have pointed out that both processes may increase the bioavailability of the bioactive compounds. However, the effect of consumption of raw tomatoes and tomato sauces on inflammation biomarkers ...

A simulation-based life cycle assessment was conducted to compare the impacts of different cyanide-free chloride processing routes for refractory ores determine whether one-stage leaching gold from could be advantageous over after conventional pressure oxidation an environmental perspective. It shown that both conditions and refractoriness ore strongly affect process. The global warming potenti...

Stump harvesting for energy has decreased in Finland, and many heat power plants no longer accept stumps their fuel portfolio due to quality problems. However Finland is a forested country, land clearing need be extracted, e.g. infrastructure construction projects. If cannot used production, they are dumped landfills, where start decay release CO2 into the atmosphere. One option avoid emissions...

in a 3×3 latin square design, 9 ok and multipaous lactating holstein cows averaging 76 ± 12 days in milk and 580±48 kg of body weight were assigned to three dietary treatments in 3 periods of 21 days. dietary treatments were 1) the control diet (without dried or ensiled tomato pulp), 2) diet with 8% dried tomato pulp (dm basis) and 3) diet with 8% ensiled tomato pulp silage (dm basis). tomato p...

this study was conducted to determine the effects of different water and nitrogen application levels on drip-irrigated tomato plants. the amount of water usage was based upon the pan evaporation from a screened (class “a”) evaporation pan. the treatments consisted of two irrigation intervals (i1= 5 days and i2= 10 days), three plant-pan coefficients (kcp1= 0.50; kcp2= 0.75 and kcp3= 1.00) and t...

Soil and crop management practices can influence CO2 emission from crop and grasslands and therefore on global warming. We examined the effects of two irrigation systems (irrigated vs. non-irrigated) and six management practices [no-till malt barley (Hordeum vulgaris L.) with 67 or 134 kg N ha (NTBFN), notill malt-barley with 0 kg N ha (NTBON), conventional-till malt barley with 67 or 134 kg N ...

We previously prepared and evaluated simple Eudragit S100 microparticles loaded with prednisolone (ES-MP) and Eudragit S100-coated chitosan-succinyl-prednisolone conjugate microparticles (Ch-MP/ES) in vitro. In this work, the effectiveness, toxic side effects (5 mg prednisolone (PD) eq/kg × 3 d, 10 mg PD eq/kg × 3 d), and pharmacokinetic characteristics (5 mg PD eq/kg) were examined using rats ...

The agri-food sector is one of the major contributors Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions responsible for global climate change. suitability world areas viticulture evolving due to change, with new challenges linked sustainability production. Viticulture and wine in general are, at same time, impactful sectors associated negative environmental externalities. VIVA certification program focused on per...

Increasing population leads to intensification of water shortage problems in arid regions. Agriculture sector is the main user of water in Iran. Bushehr province with an arid and semiarid climate is located in the south of Iran. Improvement of water productivity (WP), the value or benefit derived from the use of water, is essential in the agriculture sector for achieving food security and susta...
