Due to short shelf-life of ber fruits, developing postharvest protocols incorporating nonchemical compounds with the aim extending its shelf life and maintaining quality is one major issues regarding fruit industry. The fruits greatly affected by factors especially temperature treatment. In present study, effect chitosan coating storage on physicochemical characteristics was investigated as a f...

Loss of epithelial organization and deregulated microRNAs are hallmarks of malignant carcinomas, but the relationship between them has been poorly understood. This study was designed to investigate the changes in the expression of E-cadherin, Par3, and miR-429 during the development of human colorectal cancer (CRC). E-cadherin and Par3 levels were quantitatively detected by immunohistochemistry...

The incidence of Aspergillus fumigatus infections has become more frequent as a consequence of widespread immunosuppression. At present, the number of available antifungal agents in the clinic is limited, and most of them, such as itraconazole (ICZ), are toxic and show resistance. Berberine (BER) is a plant alkaloid used in the clinic mainly for alimentary infections. We have used BER and ICZ t...

A compact Riemann surface of genus g, g > 1, can be decomposed into pairs of pants, i.e., into three hole spheres, by cutting the surface along 3g 3 simple closed non{intersecting geodesic curves. These curves can always be chosen in such a way that their hyperbolic lengths are bounded by 21g ([7]). First length controlled decompositions of Riemann surfaces into pairs of pants were found by Lip...

Nutrition history in Indonesia began in 1887, when Christiann Eijkman discovered the relationship between vitamin B-1 deficiency and beri-beri. In the 1950's, the socialization of nutrition messages started with the introduction of "Healthy Four Perfect Five" (Empat Sehat Lima Sempurna-ESLS). For the next 25 years after that, ESLS became a favorite in nutrition education and was nationally know...
