The objective of the present research was to develop cinnamon oil nanoemulsions using soy protein isolate and lecithin as food grade natural emulsifiers. For this purpose, stable cinnamon oil nanoemulsion (droplet diameter of 141.2 nm) prepared by ultrasonic emulsification. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of free and nanoemulsified cin...

Objectives: Virtual reality is a new technology that has been recently used for different purposes in the rehabilitation of children. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of this method in balance rehabilitation of children with Cerebral Palsy (CP). Methods: This was an A-B-A design single subject study in which 3 children with hemiplegic CP participated. The baseline phase and in...

Oxygen uptake (VO2) and heart rate (HR) kinetics after exercise are important indicators of fitness and cardiovascular health. However, these variables have been little investigated in resistance exercise (RE). The current study compared post-exercise kinetics of VO2 and the HR among different types of REs. The study included 14 males (age: 26.5±5.4 years, body mass: 80.1±11.4 kg, body height: ...

after the movements that egypt witnessed in the second half of twentieth century, realist novelists tried to depict the realities of the society with new perspectives and used a new structural pattern in their writings. with this regard the role of character which has a determining factor in realist novels went through changes concerning  characterization and depicting their temperament  in nov...

Kinetics of the chemical leaching of chalcocite from a low-grade copper ore in a ferric sulfate medium was investigated using the constrained least square optimization technique. The experiments were carried out for different particle sizes in both the reactor and column at constant Eh, pH, and temperature. The leaching rate increased with increase in the temperature. About 50% of the Cu recove...

Intracellular delivery of materials is a challenge in research and therapeutic applications. Physical methods of plasma membrane disruption have recently emerged as an approach to facilitate the delivery of a variety of macromolecules to a range of cell types. We use the microfluidic CellSqueeze delivery platform to examine the kinetics of plasma membrane recovery after disruption and its depen...
