The aerial parts of Salvia glutinosa afforded in addition to lupeol, a - and ? - amyrin a furanosesquiterpene, its structure being established by high field NMR techniques. The relative configuration at C-1, C-10, C-4, C-5 and C-6 of 6?tigloyloxyglechomafuran 1 was determined by the observed NOE'S

We extend beyond healthiness assessment of banks using quantitative financial data by applying textual sentiment analysis. Looking at 10-K annual reports for a large sample of banks in the 2000-2014 period, 52 public bank holding companies that were associated with bank failures during the global financial crisis serve as a natural experiment. Utilizing negative and positive dictionaries propos...

polymer-graphite powder composite behaves as a low-conductive material which can be used as an automatic fuse for adhesive connector in electrical circuits. the conductivity of this composite, below its transition temperature, tt, depends on concentration of carbon powder, slowly decreases as the temperature increases. meanwhile, the electrical resistivity of this material in transition tempera...

Within the framework of the health-belief model, some studies exist investigating the association between illness-specific psychosocial factors and the use of cancer screenings. However, studies investigating the association between general psychosocial factors and the use of cancer screenings are missing. Thus, this study aimed at examining the association between well-established general psyc...

Bedload transport is an essential component of river dynamics and estimation of its rate is important to many aspects of river management. In this study, measured bedload by Helley- Smith sampler was used to estimate the bedload transport of Kurau River in Malaysia. An artificial neural network, genetic programming and a combination of genetic programming and a neural network were used to estim...

Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique, the dispersion contours and the exposure rate of Flexographic printing workers to VOCs in a printing department is evaluated. Firstly, VOCs distribution is determined in the printing room due to the existing ventilation system. Through next steps, 4 scenarios for lowering VOCs concentration and its exposure rate to workers are analyzed. Concen...
