The effect of Graciano (GRA, Spanish valuable variety of limited production in Mediterranean countries) vs. Cabernet Sauvignon (CS, world-wide known French variety) on the phenolic content [total polyphenols (TP), total anthocyanins (TA), catechins (CAT) and proanthocyanidins (PRO)] of Tempranillo wines (TEM-BASE, a largely cultivated Spanish variety) was studied in blends prepared with 25 and ...

Six groups of Sahiwal-Friesian crossbred cows, namely M50-1, M50-2, M50-3, M56, M63 and M75-1 were evaluated. In total 180 cows were used and milk collected was evaluated for composition and quality. The effect of genotypes was significant (P≤0.05) only for titrable acidity (TA) and milk yield (MY). The M50-1 had the highest milk yield per day (8.73 ± 1.65 kg) but this was not significantly dif...

The effects of Ta content (2.72wt.%, 3.10wt.% and 4.00wt.%) on the solidification characteristics mechanical properties directionally solidified DZ411 Ni-based superalloys were investigated. It is found that Mo decreases with increase in liquid phase after directional solidification, indicating addition can reduce element segregation alloys. primary secondary dendrite arm spacings (PDAS SDAS) a...

Conservative therapies, mainly resting care for the damaged muscle, are generally used as a treatment for skeletal muscle injuries (such as muscle fragmentation). Several past studies reported that microcurrent electrical neuromuscular stimulation (MENS) facilitates a repair of injured soft tissues and shortens the recovery period. However, the effects of MENS on the regeneration in injured ske...

An attempt to characterize natural graphites by their trace element content is reported. Ten samples of graphite of known deposits over the world are classified by their graphitization indices, ranging from 0.26 to 1.00, and analyzed for trace elements content. Results of neutron activation analysis of 28 evaluated elements, i.e. Na, Rb, Cs, Th, U, Cr, Fe, Co, As, Sb, Ag, Au, Se, Te, Zn, Hg, Zr...

A novel versatile biocompatible hydrogel of whey protein isolate (WPI) and two types tannic acid (TAs) was prepared by crosslinking WPI with TAs in a one-step method at high temperature for 30 min. is one common protein-based preparation which used formation. The obtained WPI-TA hydrogels were disc form retained their integrity after sterilization autoclaving. Two TA preparations differing mole...

We present an efficient method for inferring facts from a propositional knowledge base, which is not required to be in conjunctive normal form. This logically-incomplete method, called propositional fact propagation, is more powerful and efficient than some forms of boolean constraint propagation. Hence, it can be used for tractable deductive reasoning in many AI applications, including various...

BACKGROUND Gilbert's syndrome is a chronic or recurrent mild unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia caused by decreased activity of UDP glucuronosyltranferase (UGT1A1). The most common cause of Gilbert's syndrome in Caucasians is homozygous variant of the A(TA)7TAA promoter polymorphism. Alleles with five or eight TA repeats have also been described, but they are very rare in Caucasian populations. ...
