The Passiflora cincinnata Mast. has high flavor and potential for wine other alcoholic beverages production. However, production, the presence of pectin becomes undesirable, as it influences efficiency fermentation process clarity final product. objective this study was to optimize hydrolysis in Caatinga passion fruit must production with pectinolytic enzymes, using a Central Composite Rotatabl...

This paper focuses on developing models to study influential factors on the inflation rate for a panel of available countries in the World Bank data base during 2008-2012‎. ‎For this purpose‎, Random effect log-linear and Ordinal logistic models are used for the analysis of continuous and categorical inflation rate variables‎. ‎As the original inflation rate response to variables shows an appar...

Introduction: There are several evidences that show various environmental stresses during pregnancy, affect physiological behavior of the offspring. In this study the effects of REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep deprivation of pregnant rats on spatial learning of adult male offspring by Morris water maze were investigated. Methods: Water tank technique was used for inducing REM sleep deprivatio...

Chondroitin sulphate chains on cell and extracellular matrix proteoglycans play important regulatory roles in developing systems. Specific, developmentally regulated, sulphation motifs within the chondroitin glycosaminoglycan structure may help bind, sequester or present bioactive signalling molecules to cells thus modulating their behaviour. Using monoclonal antibodies 3B3(-), 4C3, 6C3 and 7D4...

Choline is an essential nutrient that, via its metabolite betaine, serves as a donor of methyl groups used in fetal development to establish the epigenetic DNA and histone methylation patterns. Supplementation with choline during embryonic days (E) 11-17 in rats improves memory performance in adulthood and protects against age-related memory decline, whereas choline deficiency impairs certain c...

In this paper we estimate a simple Bayesian learning model to expectations data from the Survey of Professional Forecasters. We reformulate the model in terms of forecast revisions, which allows to abstract from differences in priors and to focus the analysis on the relationship between revisions and signal. The model depends on two parameters, the forecaster’s belief about the signal bias and ...
