Background: dehydration fever is a common problem during the first week of life. This study aimed to compare the characteristics of neonates with fever due to dehydration and healthy infants. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 324 neonates including 120 neonates with normal body temperature and 204 neonates with fever due to dehydration (hyperthermia) referred to Ghaem Hospit...

Due to their highly permeable skin and ectothermy, terrestrial amphibians are challenged by compromises between water balance and body temperature regulation. The way in which such compromises are accommodated, under a range of temperatures and dehydration levels, impacts importantly the behavior and ecology of amphibians. Thus, using the terrestrial toad Rhinella schneideri as a model organism...

ABSTRACT: The combination of pulsed vacuum osmotic dehydration and microwave drying of garlic bulbs were examined. The response surface methodology (RSM) was used to determine the effect of NaCl concentration (8%-20%), osmotic solution temperature (25-65°C), operation pressure (240-830 mbar), immersion time (20-300 min) and microwave power level (100-600 W) on water loss (WL), solids gain (SG),...

Osmotic dehydration is a process in which partial water is removed by immersion of water containing cellular solid in a concentrated aqueous solution of high osmotic media for a specified time and temperature. It has potential advantages of less heat damage, good blanching effect, less enzymatic browning, better retention of flavour and energy saving because no phase change occurs. Osmotic dehy...

3,5- dinitrobenzoyl chloride-pyridine system has been used for dehydration of aldoximes and carboxamides at room temperature

dehydration is one of the most common preservation methods for button mushroom. dried mushroom slice and powder is used in formulation of soups and sauces. in this study, the effect of osmotic pretreatment on drying kinetics of button mushrooms was studied. thin slices of mushroom were immersed in osmotic solution containing 5% sodium chloride and 0.5% calcium chloride at a temperature 40 °c fo...

It was found that lipase production during the growth of Pseudomonas fluorescens was not a function of the total number of bacteria. The optimal temperatures for bacterial growth and lipase production were determined as 20 and 8 degrees C, respectively. The lipolytic activity was studied in emulsions of olive oil at temperatures ranging from +8 to -30 degrees C. After an initially rapid lipolys...

It is widely known that dehydration increases the main phase transition temperature of phospholipids. A mathematical analysis now shows that hydration pressure can be calculated by the dehydration-induced shift of the phase transition temperature. The hydration-dependent piezotropic and thermotropic phase transitions were determined by using calorimetry and FT-IR spectroscopy, and the applicati...

The effect of hygrothermal conditions (air temperature and relative humidity) on the dehydration of theophylline monohydrate was investigated. Firstly, the equilibrium states of theophylline were investigated. The data from gravimetric analysis at constant temperature and humidity were reported as desorption isotherms. The PXRD analysis was used to identify the different polymorphic forms of th...
