The screening of 50 sorghum varieties showed that, on average, germination did not affect the content in total phenolic compounds but decreased the content of proanthocyanidins, 3-deoxyanthocyanidins, and flavan-4-ols. Independent of germination, there are intervarietal differences in antioxidant activities among sorghum varieties. Phenolic compounds and antioxidant activities were more positiv...

The basic theme of this paper is to explore connections between places of function fields over a base field F of characteristic zero and birational morphisms between smooth F -varieties. This is done by considering various localised categories involving function fields or varieties as objects, and constructing functors between these categories. The main result is that in the localised category ...

This study focuses on the prosodic phrasing and intonation of utterances with parentheticals and topics in two previously unstudied varieties of European Portuguese (EP) Porto and Évora. Our findings are compared to previous descriptions for the standard variety (SEP), and two Central-Southern varieties. The results indicate that there is no variation in EP in the prosodic phrasing of these utt...

Eighteen varieties of flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) with different productive attitude (oil, fiber and intermediate) were analyzed for total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activity. The TPC ranged from 4.64 to 9.40 mg caffeic acid equivalents (CAE) g-1 dry weight of linseed. TPC were statistically different among productive attitude groups and increasing in this order: oil varieties → i...

Genomic DNA isolated from zygotic embryos (seeds) of 7 chilli pepper varieties, namely Capsicum annuum L., California wonder, Yolo wonder, G-5, Pusa sadabahar, Pusa jyothi and LCA-335 and Capsicum chinense Jacq. variety Kotpar, was PCR-amplified using Pun1 allele specific primer MAP1. A DNA band admeasuring 479 bp was observed in C annuum L., varieties California wonder and Yolo wonder, while a...

In this study nine new varieties of sunflower seeds were obtained and subjected to oil extraction using soxhlet apparatus. The extracted oil was analyzed for fatty acid composition and phosphorus content to measure the phospholipid concentration. The results indicated that Armavirski variety had the highest oil content. The fatty acid composition of the extracted oils indicated that Armavirski ...

The introduction by Lown, Amarasingham, and Neuman (1962) of a safe, simple, and effective method of converting atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm has increased the interest in the effects of this arrhythmia on the circulation. Previous reports indicate scant agreement regarding the effects of atrial fibrillation on the cardiac output. Studies on groups of patients with and without atrial fibr...

His bundle electrograms were performed in 4 patients illustrating the varied aspects of the preexcitation syndrome. In 3 cases of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome the QRS complexes were found to be formed by fusion between the normal and premature activation processes. In one of these cases a re-entry tachycardia was shown, with antegrade conduction occurring through the His bundle and retrograde...
