Regional diets and associated cuisines and their contribution to overall regional nutrition are increasingly being scrutinized by scientists for their relationships to human health. The Hangzhou region in China has lower mortality rates associated with cardiovascular disease, lower incidences of diabetes mellitus and better blood pressure in the local population and the links between these lowe...

Ultrasound and poly(ethylenimine) (PEI) have each separately been shown to increase DNA transfection efficiency. This study tested the hypothesis that the combination of ultrasound and PEI can have a synergistic effect to increase DNA transfection. This in vitro study assessed transfection efficiency of two different DNA plasmids encoding green fluorescent protein and firefly luciferase in two ...

in this study, the optimum combination of major factors affecting the acceptability of whey-based ricotta cheese i.e. fat at three levels (0, 5, 10%), salt at three levels (0, 1, 2%), and starter culture at two levels (0, 3%) was determined in a complete randomized design method with a factorial experiment. ricotta cheese trials made by mixing whey and milk in a ratio of 5:1 were then organ...

In this paper, an improved meshfree scheme based on radial basis functions (RBFs) is provided for solving the incompressible viscous Navier–Stokes equations and two enhancements are proposed to mitigate typical numerical oscillations. The first one combination of RBFs-based finite difference (RBF-FD) method with semi-Lagrangian RBFs (SLM-RBF), former being used diffusion term pressure Poisson e...

Abstract This paper attempts to improve the physical and mechanical properties of selective laser sintered polyamide PA2200 components through a vibratory surface finishing process by inducing severe plastic deformation at outer layers. The industrial target additive manufacturing is obtain structures having roughness, hardness, other equivalent or better than those produced conventionally. Com...

this paper concerns with the modeling and construction of a fifth order method for two dimensional acoustic wave equation in heterogenous media. the method is based on a standard discretization of the problem on smooth regions and a nonstandard method for nonsmooth regions.the construction of the nonstandard method is based on the special treatment of the interface using suitable jump condition...

In this report we propose a new model to represent spectral functions called the composite model. This model is built on the idea that we decompose all spectral functions into smooth and spiky components, each with its own distinct representation. Specifically, a smooth spectrum can be expressed as a linear combination of a set of given basis functions and thus be represented through the corres...

At present many researchers pay attention to a combination of spectral features and spatial enhance hyperspectral image (HSI) classification accuracy. However, the in some methods are utilized insufficiently. In order further improve performance HSI classification, spectral-spatial joint based on broad learning system (BLS) (SSBLS) method was proposed this paper; it consists three parts. Firstl...
