A study has been made of the influence of two pools of caseinophosphopeptides (CPPs) obtained from α(s)- and β-casein (CN) fractions, and of three specific CPPs (β-CN(1-25)4P, α(s1)-CN(64-74)4P and α(s2)-CN(1-19)4P), on iron bioavailability (ferritin synthesis) and zinc bioavailability (retention, transport and uptake of zinc) in Caco-2 cells. α-CPP and β-CPP pools did not improve ferritin synt...

Currently, no reliable noninvasive methods exist for monitoring the severity of in vivo cyanide (CN) toxicity, treatment, and resulting physiological changes. We developed a broadband diffuse optical spectroscopy (DOS) system to measure bulk tissue absorption and scattering. DOS was used to optically monitor CN toxicity and treatment with sodium nitrite (NaNO2). To perform experiments, the DOS ...

A two-sided sequence (cn)n∈Z with values in a complex unital Banach algebra is a cosine sequence if it satisfies cn+m + cn−m = 2cncm for any n,m ∈ Z with c0 equal to the unity of the algebra. A cosine sequence (cn)n∈Z is bounded if supn∈Z ‖cn‖ < ∞. A (bounded) group decomposition for a cosine sequence c = (cn)n∈Z is a representation of c as cn = (b n +b−n)/2 for every n ∈ Z, where b is an inver...

In this paper, we have shown that collection of paths P i n where n is odd, cycle, triangular snake, quadrilateral snake, P 2 n are even sequential harmonious graph and also we prove that the cycle Cn be a cycle u1, u2, · · · , un is an even sequential harmonious graph. Let G be a graph with V (G) = V (Cn) ∪ {wi : 1 ≤ i ≤ n}, E(G) = E(Cn) ∪ {uiwiui−1wi : 1 ≤ i ≤ n}, then G is an even sequential...

In the present work, Compound 1 has been synthesized as a novel fluorescence ratiometric probe for CN. Upon treatment with CN, Probe 1 exhibited a fluorescence ratiometric response, with the emission wavelength shift from 570 nm to 608 nm. When 90 μM CN was introduced, the emission ratios (I570/I608) of the probe changed dramatically from 0.52156 to 4.21472. The detection limit was also measure...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Congenital nystagmus (CN) is an ocular oscillation that usually manifests during early infancy. Typical features of CN include bilateral, conjugate, uniplanar, and usually horizontal eye movements, a null position, increased oscillation during fixation, and decreased amplitude during convergence. Our purposes were description and analysis of clinical and oculomotor findin...

A vertex irregular total k-labeling of a graph G with vertex set V and edge set E is an assignment of positive integer labels {1, 2, ..., k} to both vertices and edges so that the weights calculated at vertices are distinct. The total vertex irregularity strength of G, denoted by tvs(G)is the minimum value of the largest label k over all such irregular assignment. In this paper, we study the to...

The coordination number (CN) is an important structure property of liquid metals. A simple yet extremely precise method for calculating CN proposed, the classical methods are evaluated systematically, and mathematical forms symmetry corrected. Using Gaussian function construct, first shell pair distribution (PDF), right-hand side peak extrapolated, expression simplified with a to obtain its non...

Fine tuning of blend morphology is a key factor that limits the performance bulk-heterojunction organic photovoltaics (BHJ-OPVs). Herein, morphological control binary (PM6:Y7) and ternary (PM6:Y7:PC70BM) blends conducted through 1-chloronaphthalene (CN) solvent additive thermal annealing (TA) treatment with respect to their influence on photovoltaic performance. Moreover, distinct study accompl...

Cernitin pollen extract (CN-009), extract from several pollen species, has been used for urinary dysfunction. As its mode of action has not been clarified, we investigated the action of CN-009 on the isolated bladder smooth muscles of rats, guinea pigs and cats and the intravesical pressure in female rats. CN-009 contracted isolated detrusor muscles of rats, guinea pigs and cats in a concentrat...
