In this paper we aimed to determine the surface tension of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) tablet and tried to provide a key reference parameter to control tablet film coating quality. Using contact angle tester, the Chinese medicine tablet, a famous Fufang Danshen tablet CP as a model example, was determined by Zisman critical surface tension method. Our study showed that the critical surfa...

Oceanobacillus picturae strain Heshi-B3 was isolated from rice bran in a traditional fermented seafood dish named Heshiko, which was produced in Fukui Prefecture in Japan. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of O. picturae strain Heshi B-3.

Purpose: to investigate the effects of phosphide on some human biological systems in order to find a way to control it and facilitate the prevention and treatment of its poisoning. Materials and Methods: In this study, 67 files of autopsy description, forensic pathology results and forensic toxicology were studied as nominal qualitative variables in terms of each type of histological changes in...

The component of protein in rice, at 7-9% by weight, is relatively low, but the total amount of rice protein potentially available is significant because the production of rice worldwide, at 380 million tons annually, is huge. Rice proteins are recognized as nutritional, hypoallergenic, and healthy for human consumption, and rice protein products have been in demand in recent years. However, be...

We consider samples of n geometric random variables (Γ1, Γ2,. .. Γn) where P{Γj = i} = pq i−1 , for 1 ≤ j ≤ n, with p + q = 1. The parameter we study is the position of the first occurrence of the maximum value in a such a sample. We derive a probability generating function for this position with which we compute the first two (factorial) moments. The asymptotic technique known as Rice's method...

Nearly-quaternionic KK ahler manifolds of dimension at least 8 are shown to be quaternionic KK ahler. Restrictions on the covariant derivative of the fundamental four-form of a semi-quaternionic KK ahler are also found.

in this study, different derivative spectrophotometric methods are proposed for the simultaneous determination of chlorpheniramine maleate (cp), phenylephrine hcl (pe) and phenylpropanolamine hcl (pp) in their ternary mixtures and in pharmaceutical dosage forms. spectra of single component and ternary mixtures of various concentrations and combinations from zero- to fourth-derivation were obtai...

Two experiments were conducted to determine the digestible energy (DE) and metabolizable energy (ME) content of 19 rice bran samples and to develop prediction equations for DE and ME based on their chemical composition. The 19 rice bran samples came from different rice varieties, processing methods and regions. The basal diet was formulated using corn and soybean meal (74.43% corn and 22.91% so...

Layers feeding are a technological factor that could increase economic efficiency in egg production if it is scientifically managed. The increasing price of raw materials used for producing diet imposes as nutritionists to look for new cheaper feedstuff able to replace the traditional and more expensive ingredients like soybean meal. This study aimed to set up new diet formulae for layers feedi...
