Thin film composite (TFC) nanofiltration (NF) membranes supported by polymeric have suffered from limited mechanical properties and chemical cleaning stability, resulting in an increasing operation cost. Strengthening the support of TFC is expected to provide great stability for membranes. This work provided a membrane constructed on poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) incorporated carbon nanotube film,...

Abstract Yerba mate is a tree natural from South America, traditionally daily consumed as hot ( chimarrão ) or cold tereré and roasted leaves (mate tea) infusions, being an important source of polyphenols flavonoids in human nutrition. To produce bioactive-rich extracts yerba mate, oven-dried at 35 °C three different commercial products, named M, T, S, were extracted using General Recognized Sa...

Phương pháp đáp ứng bề mặt được áp dụng để kiểm tra ảnh hưởng của các yếu tố chiết xuất đến hàm lượng polyphenol (TPC) và flavonoid (TFC) trong ​​lá núc nác (LNN). Điều kiện tối ưu xác định TPC TFC là: nhiệt độ 59°C, ethanol 69%, thời gian 11 phút tỷ lệ nguyên liệu/ dung môi là 1/25 (w/v). Quá trình minh ở điều đã định. Các giá trị thực nghiệm (TPC=215,47±1,03 mg GAE/g cao chiết; TFC=158,01±1,1...

1 This is an ongoing draft of a report describing our work on Active Shape Models and Active Appearance Models. Hopefully it will be expanded to become more comprehensive, when I get the time. My apologies for the missing and incomplete sections and the inconsistancies in notation. TFC

AIMS Diastolic dysfunction in patients with heart failure has prognostic relevance, possibly because of its relationship with worsening haemodynamic status. In the quest for simpler indexes of haemodynamic status in patients, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels have been proposed as a surrogate of diastolic function. To date, the value of combining BNP levels with non-invasive haemodynamic m...

The study was couducted to investigate the effects of gamma irradiation and CO₂ on flavonoid content and leaf gas exchange in C.asiatica. For flavonoid determination, the design was a split split plot based on Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). For other parameters, the designs were split plots. Statistical tests revealed significant differences in flavonoid contents of Centella asiatica ...

OBJECTIVE Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is associated with the presence, severity and extent of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD) in addition to subclinical atherosclerosis. We investigated if EAT thickness is related to acute myocardial infarction in patients with CAD. We also searched for the association between EAT thickness and objective coronary flow and myocardial perfusion ...

In this work total anthocyanin content (TAC), total flavonoid content (TFC), total phenolic content (TPC) and minerals found in five black glutinous rice cultivars (MS, SK, PY, PC and KK) from Thailand were analyzed. The antioxidant activity of anthocyanin-rich black glutinous rice bran extracts against nitric oxide radical (NO˙), superoxide radical (O2˙Ż) and lipid peroxyl radical (LOO˙) was a...

OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between ovarian follicle count and volume on ultrasonography and serum hormone levels including the levels of the anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and gonadotropin in women with the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). METHODS A total of 118 Korean women aged 18-35 years who were newly diagnosed with PCOS at a university hosp...
