We have obtained kefir biofilms loaded with Maytenus rigida extract. The main goal was to evaluate the influence of addition extract on microtexture using stereometric and fractal parameters. Atomic force microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, contact angle tecniques were used topography, chemical interation wettability biofilms. Chemical evaluation showed that interacts polymeric...

The amplitude equation of Gierer-Mainhardt model has been actually derived near the boundary abuot which Turing and Hopf modes exist. In a parameter region where Hopf-Turing mixed mode solution is stable, a chaotic state that generally results from interaction between mixed modes, is observed. This chaotic region follows a strong selection of a spatially periodic order followed by a local, reso...

p. 20: (L. 8) “x ∈ I” should be “x ∈ I \ {p}” p. 22: (L. 5-8) This should read as follows: A direct calculation shows that for 2 < μ < 3 the only fixed points of F 2 μ are those for Fμ, i.e., 0 and pμ. (See Exercise 2.6.) Since F 2 μ(1/2) is above the diagonal, it follows that F 2 μ(x) is above the diagonal and x < F 2 μ(x) < pμ for 1/2 ≤ x < pμ. Therefore all the points in the interval [1/2, p...

The predictive capability of two-dimensional (2-D) fully-nonlinear-potential-flow (FNPF) models of an experimental submerged moored sphere system subjected to waves is examined in this study. The experimental system considered includes both single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) surge-only as well as two-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) surge-heave coupled motions, with main sources of nonlinearity from free ...

The Study of river water quality interation with lakes and dam reservoirs is important from anexploitation point of view. When river water with different densities enters a lake or dam reservoir,underflow density current phenomenon occurs. Because of the density, so understandingdifferent arrays of this phenomenon Seems necessary for checking erosion and sedimentationprocesses and their managem...

Typical data visualizations result from linear pipelines that include both characterizing data by a model or algorithm to reduce the dimension and summarize structure; and displaying the data in reduced dimensional form. Sensemaking then takes place as users observe, digest, and internalize any information displayed. The problem is that visualisations driven solely by algorithms or models may l...

background: adverse cutaneous drug reactions (acdrs) are the most commonly reported adverse drug events. the causative drugs and clinical patterns of acdrs are different in various populations. this study was conducted to identify the clinical patterns, causative drugs and reasons for drug administration in patients hospitalized due to acdr. materials and methods: this retrospective study was c...
