seasonal accumulation and incorrect disposal of olive mill by-products may be detrimental to the environment. conversely, their proper recycling as soil amendments may be a sustainable solution. therefore, the objectives of this three-year field trial were: (i) investigating the effects of olive mill wastewater (omw) and pomace compost (pc) on plant nutritional status and yield in an organic ol...

This study investigates the pathways of origin of chylomicron phosphatidylcholine (PC) using a lymph- and bile-fistulated rat infused with a stabilized triolein emulsion. [(14)C-glycerol]PC was used to evaluate chylomicron PC generated by lyso PC acyltransferase. The percentage of chylomicron PC derived from the PC infused was directly proportional to the PC concentration in the infusate. When ...

In this paper we investigate focusing properties of graded index (GRIN) photonic crystal (PC) structures which are composed of different materials with different refractive indices. GRIN PC structure is constructed from air holes in dielectric background. The holes radii are varied in the normal direction to the propagation in such a way that a parabolic effective refractive index is produced. ...

Background: Prostate specific antigen (PSA) has been used as a screening test for the early detection of prostate cancer (PC) for many years. Although the introduction of PSA test led to a considerable increase in reported prostate cancer cases, there is still some controversy over the sensitivity and specificity of this marker in distinguishing PC patients from those with benign prostate hyper...

Aim: To compare the quality of the PC's prepared by three methods i.e Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), Buffy Coat (BC) and Apheresis method as per the departmental SOP based on DGHS criteria. Material & Methods: Four platelet concentrates prepared by each of the three methods were assessed every month for the following quality parameters Swirling, Volume, Platelet count, WBC count and pH. 48 PC of e...
