A study was conducted with an objective to compare the efficacy of bentonite (BT), Spirulina platensis (SP) and glucomannan mycotoxin binders (GMA) on aflatoxicosis in broiler breeders. Three levels of AF, three binders and combination of different levels of AF with binders were evaluated. The AF fed at the levels of 300, 400 and 500ppb for three periods, each with duration of three weeks in br...

We demonstrated a method to screen for binders to a particular G-quadruplex sequence using easily designed short peptides consisting of naturally occurring amino acids and mining of binding data using statistical methods such as hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA). Despite the small size of the library used in this study, candidates of specific binders were identified. In addition, a selecte...

Current combinatorial selection strategies for protein engineering have been successful at generating binders against a range of targets; however, the combinatorial nature of the libraries and their vast undersampling of sequence space inherently limit these methods due to the difficulty in finely controlling protein properties of the engineered region. Meanwhile, great advances in computationa...

The aim of this study is evaluating the interaction between several base pen grade asphalt binders (35/50, 50/70, 70/100, 160/220) and two different recycled plastics (EVA and HDPE), for a set of new polymer modified binders produced with different amounts of both recycled plastics. After analysing the results obtained for the several polymer modified binders evaluated in this study, including ...

ceramic ultrafiltration membranes are considered as an alternative for the treatment of both stable water-in-oil and oil-in-water emulsions proved to be more effective in comparison with other conventional techniques. in this study, symmetric macro-porous ceramic membranes are prepared through dry pressing of α-alumina powder and the addition of various binders including poly (vinyl alcohol). t...

10.1586/14750708.2.6.823 © 2 Sevelamer hydrochloride is a nonabsorbed, calciumand metal-free phosphate binder, used to bind phosphate and prevent phosphate accumulation in patients with kidney failure. Sevelamer hydrochloride has been an important alternative to calcium-based phosphate binders, because calcium-based binders result in increased gastrointestinal calcium absorption and a positive ...

Hybrid languages have both modal and first-order characteristics: a Kripke semantics, and explicit variable binding apparatus. This paper motivates the development of hybrid languages, sketches their history, and examines the expressive power of three hybrid binders. We show that all three binders give rise to languages strictly weaker than the corresponding first-order language, that full firs...

The performance of asphalt binders at high and low temperatures has an important role on the rutting and crackingresistance of asphalt pavements. Crumb Rubber Modified (CRM) is one of the asphalt modifiers that improves asphaltphysical and mechanical properties and helps reducing environmental pollution. In this research, three unmodifiedand six CRM modified binders were teste...

Aims Renal Osteodystrophy (ROD) is a systemic disorder that develops early with loss of kidney functions and is manifested by abnormalities in bone metabolism, mineralization and volume. Phosphate binders are a major constituent in chronic kidney disease management. Previous Aluminum and calcium containing phosphate binders were thought to be of detrimental effect on bone histology. The aim of ...
