the present study was conducted to determine the relative contribution of initial quality and compositional parameters to the rate of changes (rctpc) in the content of total polar compounds (tpc), which is considered to be one of the most reliable indicators of heated oils quality, of olive oil during continuous heating at 180 ºc. the ratio between monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acid...

ALICE [1] is A Large Ion Collider Experiment which will start operation in 2007 in the course of the CERN LHC program. The main tracking device of the experiment is a cylindrical Time Projection Chamber [2] (TPC). A ROOT based software module was developed to monitor online the data stream from the TPC during the commissioning phase at CERN in 2006. The main features of the program as well as r...

The HIPERLAN type 2 (HIgh PERformance Radio Local Area Network) standard provides means for link adaptation (LA) and transmit power control (TPC). Both mechanisms are not independent in a cellular network environment. This paper analyses the basic requirements for joint LA and TPC and proposes a suitable algorithm which is based on the empty part in MAC frames. The implementation in a simulator...

ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is the dedicated heavy ion experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The main tracking device of ALICE is a large volume TPC. The milestones of the TPC commissioning as well as the current status of the detector calibration are presented. The obtained resolutions in transverse momentum, position as well as in specific energy loss (dE/dx) are presen...

Hash based search has, proven excellence on large data warehouses stored in column store. Data distribution has significant impact on hash based search. To reduce impact of data distribution, we have proposed Memory Managed Hash (MMH) algorithm that uses shift XOR group for Queries and Transactions in column store. Our experiments show that MMH improves read and write throughput by 22% for TPC-...

Article can be accessed online on: www.ijpsr.com ABSTRACT: Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a metabolic disorder of the liver that may progress to fibrosis or cirrhosis. In the present study, we examined the possible preventive effect of an extract of Teucrium polium L. (Lamiaceae), a plant with high flavonoid content and antioxidant activity, on experimental NASH. To induce NASH, a meth...

BACKGROUND The usage of polynuclear metal clusters as secondary building units (SBU's) in designing of metal organic frameworks (MOF's) is a field of current interest. These metal clusters have attracted a great deal of attention not only due to their interesting structural topologies but also due to promising physical and chemical properties. In this regard various d,f block (transition and la...

Evidence suggests that the estuarine dinoflagellates, Pfiesteria piscicida Steidinger & Burkholder and P. shumwayae Glasgow & Burkholder, members of the toxic Pfiesteria complex (TPC), may release one or more toxins that kill fish and adversely affect human health. In the current study we investigated the potential for undiagnosed cases of possible estuary-associated syndrome (PEAS), as termed ...

Objectives: Almond (Prunus amygdalus) hull and shell are agricultural by-products that are a source of phenolic compounds.The processing of almond produce shell and hull, accounts for more than 50% by dry weight of the almond fruits. Recently, more studies have focused on the influence of storage conditions and postharvest handling on the nutritional quality of fruits, especially the antioxidan...

Background: Kebab is one of the popular ready-to-eat foods in Indonesia and sold as a street food. The purpose of this study was to determine occurrence and antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli in street-vended kebab in Dramaga, Bogor, Indonesia. Methods: Totally, 43 samples of kebab meat were collected from street food kebab vendors. Examinations on Total Plate Count (TPC), and total E. ...
