In the present study, crude Calophyllum inophyllum oil (CCIO) has been evaluated as a potential feedstock for biodiesel production. C. inophyllum oil has high acid value which is 59.30 mg KOH/g. Therefore, the degumming, esterification, neutralization and transesterification process are carried out to reduce the acid value to 0.34 mg KOH/g. The optimum yield was obtained at 9:1 methanol to oil ...

Cardioneuroablation (CNA) is a novel catheter-ablation technique for the treatment of vagally-mediated bradyarrhythmia, which aims to blunt cardioinhibitory reflex by targeting parasympathetic ganglionated plexi (GPs). Early-phase studies have shown promising results, but clinical evidence remains limited. The aim our study was investigate impact CNA on cohort patients with vaso-vagal syncope (...

In the gravity sensor of a superconducting gravimeter, a superconducting sphere as a test mass is levitated in a mag‐ netic field. Such a sensor is susceptible to applied horizontal as well as vertical acceleration, because the translational degrees of freedom of the mass are not perfectly limited to the vertical direction. In the case of the superconducting gravimeter CT #036 installed at Ishi...

The present study examined the role of long-term working memory decline in the relationship between everyday experiences of memory problems and perceived control, and we also considered whether the use of accommodative strategies [selective optimization with compensation (SOC)] would be adaptive. The study included Boston-area participants (n = 103) from the Midlife in the United States study (...
